Zale Enamel Pins!
The store is hereby re-launched! And with it, a new item: Zale's shiny face as an enamel pin!
If all goes well, hopefully we can make more with the other Tales of Zale characters later....

Dear Patrons,
Ahh, time is going fast again - it's already been a month? This time, the update is going to be a bit short, because I'm in the middle of packing for a business trip to Sweden, and time kinda ended up slipping away from me!

Concept Art: Clock Tower
Sometimes when I share concept art, it gets a bit buried underneath the videos. Of course, the full behind the scenes look is on the paid tier - but I think it's nice to give the final art a spotlight here, where everyone can see it!
This is a collaborative piece made by Phoebe Mao, Adriana...

Dear Patrons,
This month has been very fulfilling in terms of progress on Tales of Zale. While I was mostly buried in writing work last month, which was hard to show progress on, this time around I've had the opportunity to explore visually as well. Plus, there are some cool merchandise new...

Note: You may have received a notification for this post twice. For some reason, Patreon seems to have had a hiccup where it replaced the original post with an old draft and deleted the actual post. No idea what that's about, but apoligies for the clutter anyhow!

Projects I was Animation Supervisor on!
This one is mostly for the Danes, but also those who are curious for a peek into something entirely different. For the past couple of years, I've been Animation Supervisor on various projects, and it just so happens that two of those are getting their Danish release right - well - now!

Dear Patrons,
Happy October to you all! This month's update is going to be on the shorter side, since it hasn't been all that long since last month's delayed post. I'm still recouping a bit from the whole festival month, on top of having had to travel back and forth from Copenhagen for a va...

June Update: Indie projects! More Tales of Zale in the works, Annecy & more!
Dear Patrons,
Happy June! With so many patreon update posts being weeks delayed as of late, I bet you didn't expect a post so early on, did you? But, well, there's a lot happening this month, so I thought I'd better get started right away!
MUSICAL PIPERS:
May Update: Trollywood, Concept Art & Going to Annecy!
Dear Patrons,
Hello hello! Still alive, though this month's update has been a bit delayed since I was away for a week. There's lots to be done and oh so few hours in a day, so let's jump right into it!

Dear Patrons,
Seems like we've already passed the first month of the year! It feels like it went by in a flash. I was really struggling with putting together the 2023 highlights for so long, I feel like I just finished that and now I'm back at it, writing another month's blog update. Things...

Apologies for another late-in-the-month update! December is always busy before going off on holidays, but this time around it's even more-so the case because of the animatic development. I can look forward to already go on "holidays" next week though; well that's to say, I swi...
