My contest submission

Another amateur animated ‘toon. This one was my submission for the Kitchen Table Mini Film Festival. I can’t wait to do another! This was an awesome idea by Carla Sonheim and Kara Kramer.

My Cow Kitty design was selected and I am in the process of converting this cat into a cow. As you can see, I am still working outContinue reading “And my current project is….”
