An Incredible 2021 Update

Hey Guys, it’s been a while since I offered an update on my work. With the new year underway, I think now is a good time.

First, I want to talk about my new project: Tokeoma (www.tokeoma.com). I started this website a couple months ago with the aim to educate and entertain local Washington residents on cannabis choices in the area

I am currently releasing one review, plus one overview video a week. It's been a lot of fun and has lead me to meet some awesome people in my area.

I understand this is more of a niche thing. So it may not be your cup of tea. But, honestly, I haven't had this much fun animating since... maybe a decade. I love the work, I love the process of reviewing (I mean I get to smoke weed, come on) and I feel I am tapping into a part of animation I haven't experienced for a long time: live audience reactions. I was even interviewed by a local newspaper about the project. On top of that, I feel I am on the verge of this becoming my next full time thing. But we will see!

Unfortunately, this does mean I had to put Bennick, among other animated projects, on the back burner again. I hope this new path allows me to swing back to it eventually.

What about my tutorials? Again, back burner. I may release some new content down the road but at this point, I feel my course lineup covers a bulk of what I do. Support may also be slower. This is just due to my own limitations of spreading to new areas. But I will try to answer questions when I can on currently released material.

Anyway, there's my first 2021 update. I hope you're having a great year so far! If you have questions or concerns, please sound off in the comments below.
