On this day, 5 years ago, I uploaded to this site a cartoon called Mercenary Cooking Time

It was the first proper cartoon I had ever finished, a proper story and not just a collab entry or a practice clip. At the time I did not know many voice actors or any musicians, so I was limited one what I could do with it, and how long I could make it.

But a lot has changed since then.

Since that cartoon I have gotten an original series off the ground, have been able to work with incredible people of so many other creative skill sets. It is genuinely surreal sometimes, a lot of what I am able to do now is stuff I could only dream of during that first production.

Tallying up all the animation that has been completed (including the soon to release Ms. Pac-Man cartoon, but more on that on a later date), all of it combined makes for a runtime of over an hours worth! (I guess I have an estimate for how long it would take me to animate a feature xD)

For real, I cannot put into words how grateful I am not just to all who have supported me on this journey, but to all the amazing people I have been able to work with to bring these cartoons to life. Animation is one of the ultimate collaborative art mediums and is at it's best when you get to work with others.

Here is to the hope of in another 5 years of keeping the creating going~

Again, thank you all so much for your support ^u^
