JESUS, Facebook, shut up! Liebe 90 Personen, die lange nichts von mir gehört haben – ich habe sehr viel und gut zu tun, keine Angst. 😂 Es kommt wieder was. Aber folgt mir besser auf Instagram. Facebook hat ein Ablaufdatum, wenn es mich weiter so nervt.

TIGER³. 🐅🐅🐅
From boardamatic to rough animation to final scene. Here's (some of) the process behind the tiger scene from "WHY DON'T WE EAT TIGERS?", my latest MoGraph Mentor project! Check out the full film here: https://vimeo.com/331430724

IT'S HERE! 🐅
Check out my film from MoGraph Mentor Class 3: "ANIMATION FOR A CAUSE". The cause I picked is very near and dear to my heart: animal rights – in this case, farm animal rights. (You can read the rest of the description turned essay over on vimeo.) Let me know what you think!
A big THANK YOU to my mentor Mathijs Luitjen for his fantastic guidance throughout this final project, my classmates for being awesome and my previous mentors Steve and Nidia for supporting me up to here and beyond. 💜

🐏 EAT MORE PLANTS.🐓 I'm wishing you all a Happy Easter Weekend! 🍳 This is another little teaser for my upcoming film "Why Don't We Eat Tigers?" – which you will get to see next week!

If you buy eggs tomorrow, please make sure they don't come from factory farms. And PLEASE (I'm begging you!) think twice in case you plan on having lamb this year. Killing an innocent baby to celebrate a guy rising from the dead? Yeah, doesn't make sense to me either.

ALMOST THERE. 🔜 🐅
I'm super excited and equally anxious to announce that my film for class 3 is almost ready. This is kind of like my thesis after an intense, exhausting and wonderful year of learning, or rather, falling in love with motion graphics. I feel compelled to write a whole essay about the past 12 months, what they did for me and just how thankful I am – but I'm still knee-deep in the process of finishing this beast. So I'll keep my emotions to myself. For now.
Stay tuned. 💣

STOCKING THE SHELVES in an animated supermarket is even more tedious than in a real supermarket. I suppose. I've never worked in one. Only in a cute little conservative over-priced gift shop that fired me at some point for not annoying the browsing customers enough and possibly also for wearing a tank top that was too revealing one day (in the scorching hot summer). THANK GOD they stopped me before my rampant sexuality traumatised someone. 🙏 That's story-time for today!

Alrighty then. It's been a while.

2019 is already almost three weeks old but I haven't managed to formerly kick off the year on here – until now. The end of 2018 was insanely stressful for me. An unexpected move, renovating, packing, selling stuff, and all that with an already low energy level after two 12-week classes of MoGraph Mentor and barely any time in between pretty much squeezed me dry, both energetically and creatively.

I've been feeling really burnt-out, easily overwhelmed and sickly, when my health is usually pretty robust. It's taken me until now to start feeling like myself again and it will take a few more weeks until I've regained the balance that my libra self craves so much. ♎️ Things like yoga, slightly more sleep than usual, being more forgiving with myself and actually, writing this little essay, really help. I'm starting to get excited about what this year may bring, eager to take on my final MoGraph class and all the more committed to creating more art, allowing less self-doubt, taking no s**t, trusting myself and moving forward without fear.

WE HAVE LIFT-OFF. 🚀 LET'S MAKE THE MAGIC HAPPEN. ✨
