In honour of the AT finale getting nominated for an Emmy, here's some headcanon that I've been holding onto for a while.
I had the idea that when Jake eventually passes away he'd start growing uncontrollably, sort of like how a dead body can let go of its bowels.
Some Fionna and Cake Deities! I tried to build off the designs of Cosmic Owl and Prismo, some built out of light and intangible stuff like magnetism, gravity, electricity etc, also The God Lard.
And Orbo is a
B)
I wrote this because I get so confused about, like, everything. I wanted to write something Big here but I only had the ability to write something Steve.
I love this week's episodes of Fionna and Cake a LOT. I did some designs for Marshall's mom's party guests, I wanted them to look like art-scene rich people.
I tried to do all characters from episodes that feel .. Jesse Moynihan-y? They all go together well!
I have a lot of Winter King visdev!
I really really love this episode and I'm proud to have worked on it. I love Pat's songs, and the performances from .. haha everyone, the main voices along with The Winter King and The Candy Queen, the Lemoncarbs, everyone.
The first two episodes of Fionna and Cake are out today. I animated the intro for the series based on boards by
@wolfhard
. This was my first pass so there are some differences from the final version, mostly the timing of the close-up running scenes, some color and bg changes etc
Not to get too into it, but I figure that the Winter King would have had to secure the Lich himself when the Candy Kingdom fell,
but when everything melted the Lich was released,
and subsequently defeated by this world's Finn, seen here;
I’m all done on Fionna & Cake, and today was my last day probably ever in the Cartoon Network building,
many many years of precious memories within,
“be CN’ you” (lol)

and more visdev, BMO's mask was inspired by this cool shot from Arcane Sorcerer (a top 10 movie for me!) and Lich stuff is always fun. At one point I was really gunning for all the Jerry-World plants/grass to be floppy haha, and Lich stuff is always fun to do.
(visdev for the end credits, before there was the excellent idea get more dreamy with the dreams)
I love Fionna and Cake a lot, and I'm proud to have been a part of it. Adventure Time always feels like home to me.
and babies. I tried to really stick to season 1 and 2 characters for these, Adam's idea was that this was BMO's wish to Prismo, that everyone becomes a baby, and then he got monkey-pawed into a baby monitor.
I always figured S&B would have a sealed off treasure/tool cache that Beth could access, like a bag of holding or a video game inventory. Who has which half is pretty clear.
I drew this picture of inside Shermy's head as a joke to share on Slack, I'm happy it made it in
During my final week on Amphibia I got to design these. My fav. part of being a retakes director was getting to draw stuff in photoshop and have the assets dropped into finished scenes.
I like Captain Billy here, Joe Sparrow's worm pilot who isn't around anymore for some reason
The first and second pass at the 1000+ library, I was reading Gormenghast at the time.
I don't know if it's clear, but the intention was that this was /always/ what was under the main-series library? Haha I don't know if that actually makes sense honestly!
i found it!! my design for adult finn ^___^ Soooo happy I got to do this, I feel like I've been daydreaming about what kind of person he would be for so many years. he always leaves his chest bare so that jake can always hang out
The storyboard for this episode, from Iggy, Graham, Nicole, Jim, and Lucyola is very beautiful as well. I hope all these boards get posted one day.
(Also I loved drawing this stuff so much haha)

goes bigger, better, and even wetter in Season 2 as Anne and the Plantar Family gear up for a road-trip adventure that opens up a whole new world.

reviews:
First episode of ‘ADVENTURE TIME: FIONNA AND CAKE’ will be shown at the San Diego Comic-Con starting on July 19.
Legendary voice actor, Tom Kenny says that it is the most emotional thing that he has ever recorded, according to a source who spoken with him at NYC con.
When I was finished on AT I couldn't stop the, like, mental momentum of the show and I kept drawing stuff. This is Pawn Swan (1000+), a traveling merchant.
I have a thought experiment— how do you mentally ‘picture’ the months/flow of the year? In my head it looks like this. since it’s april, we are on the right side of the ‘wheel’
This is going off again! I had zero story ideas, but I liked there being a cool chill older girlfriend with an Italian accent.
I was really into Nicoletta Braschi's performances in Mystery Train and Down by Law around this time!
I’m about as proud of this dialogue/storyboard as I am of anything else in my career. The voice acting is perfect, the animation came back great, I’m still really happy with everything here. I loved boarding mentally unwell Betty.
aannd of course the "Winter Wonder World" sequence, the storyboarding/animation/colour/singing is all remarkable. And the romance between Marshall and Gary, I really love all of it so much.
I enjoyed drawing these background characters for Fionna & Cake ep 5, haha I was getting obsessed with
@maxstaxidermia
's game Turnip28 at the time.
(Farmworld Crunchy is meant to reference "Princess Crunchy the Unforgiving" from "The Dark Cloud")
Might have already said this but this is my fav. title card I drew,
This was when I was living in Midland, (small town Ontario), and I’d go to Tim Horton’s at night to draw. A lot of times there’d be a large group of young people playing MtG, this is pretty much an exact scene.
Here's a chunk of animation I made for episode 4 of Fionna and Cake. Thanks to
@MrMuto
for tapping to do this extremely fun piece of work. Storyboards by Graham Falk and
@wolfhard
. 🇨🇦
This is the last thing I boarded for Adventure Time, I really sweated on this haha. The animation came out BEAUTIFULLY from Science SARU. Also I love Willow Smith's singing voice.
Fionna & Cake episode 8: JERRY is out today!
this was the first episode I got to board on the show, and it was such a pleasure. it's a very special one. : )
have fun watching!

This is a cut scene from Winter Light, I was going to do like "a hall of truth-telling mirrors" in Patience's Ice Kingdom but that episode was FAT. I love drawing The Ice Thing though.

I’m still into my idea of an Addams Family next generation where Wednesday’s grown up and returns home because Gomez got too horny and is now missing. He’s like feral animal running naked in the woods somewhere.
Thing has grown to the size of manhole lid and is covered in fur.
I loved drawing the amphibia characters. After adventure time, summer camp island and amphibia (and now big city greens) has been a fun return to drawing eyeballs.
Just remembered that, years ago, I was buying pink miniature paint from a game store and the owner, making conversation, asked what I was painting. I heard myself say: “it’s for some goblins, for their little assholes”
