HELLO, STRANGER!

My name is ED (@funymony), I'm an Animator/Illustrator.

My smash mains: Pac-Man/Iggy/DuckHunt.

I'm a long-time Newgrounds user.

I used to make cartoons regularly but now I just LURK.

TODAY I BRING YOU MY HARVEST FROM OUTSIDE THE PORTAL

SKETCHBOOK #10

This is a BIG ONE. A collection of sketches between 2019 to 2023!

It's been posted for my Patreon sketchbook tier!

This particular sketchbook is mostly rough gestures and figure drawings.

This is my 10th sketchbook in the series! I can't believe it's already been 8 years since I started this project!

WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON, ED?!

Just like the previous years, I've been working for TerminalMontage and TheOdd1sout!

I'm not going to list all the animations I've been a part of because there's a lot of them, but if you go to Mediamuffin.com you can view the ones that I put a lot of effort into!

WHAT'S HAPPENING ON DISCORD!?

Between animations I've been sharpening my artistic abilities on my DISCORD!

I am fostering an academic artist community, so if you're looking to improve your art, stop by and say hello!

Just be mindful that we're pretty laid-back, sfw, and try to keep things wholesome. (:

Also, I've made a ton of animated emotes for Discord!

If you have Nitro and like what you see, check 'em out on the server!

WHERE'S YOUR CONTENT?

Whenever I clear the runway to begin my personal projects, something terrible happens to destroy my momentum. 

Last year I prepared to have the summer off to pursue my own passion projects- but then my dog was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. We spent our time enjoying the good weather, various foods, and she took the summer with her when she had to go. <3

That following month I went to visit my father.

I went into town, checked in with him, and the following day he passed away. 

Needless to say, this past year has been a lot of processing, taking care of family and personal obligations, and trying to stay afloat. Despite everything, I did the best for my puppy and my father. Our time was well-spent and I have no regrets <3

I am now biding my time and being patient until my creative sabbatical.

ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE MORE CARTOONS OR POST ON NEWGROUNDS?

Absolutely. I've spent a lot of time honing my craft and practicing.

It all comes down to how I want to post my work from here on out.

I've had a lot of time to meditate...

I don't want to create short forgettable content that will be digested by the ever-hungry algorithm.

I don't want to pitch a series to a network that will shelve my idea or destroy it for a tax write-off.

I don't want to be an influencer and burn myself out in the social-media hustle...

I want to create an experience, something that sticks, and then move on with my life.

I SHALL POST MORE ABOUT IT WHEN I'M READY.

SEE YOU NEXT TIME, AMIGOS.
