Same Energy ✨✨✨

Against the current.

people talk about how parents who need to know every detail of their kids' lives will simply cause their children to become compulsively secretive and deceptive, but a fun fact is that sometimes it can go the other way, where the child completely abandons all their boundaries and need for privacy and habitually surrenders deeply personal information at the drop of a hat.

and that's: ✨🎉🕺 NOT good either 🕺🎉✨

Storyboards by Toby Cochran

“Super Giant Robot Brothers story crew knocked out 10 episodes in roughly 10 weeks! All without traditional storyboarding! HOW?! You might ask...

Because we didn't draw storyboards we created comics, that were then used on Set for the the director, actors & crew to use as a guideline during filming.

Super fun way to create the foundation for a show, and knockout an entire season in no time.” — Toby Cochran

if someone told me my blood smelled and tasted good i would be over the moon. this is on account of my nature

My approach to lighting: mix and match to find out what works. I've never been great at capturing realistic lighting so I just kind of wing it 🤷‍♀️

Everyone gets “The 90s” look wrong and I hate it

Couple years ago I saw these two board games at the store back to back. Well, not saw them per se, but ya know. Spied them out of the corner of my eye. And for a moment without reading the text, I couldn’t tell you which was which decade at first. Funny. Either they were in a rush to get these out the door or they wanted their throwback trivia game boxes to look uniform. I didn’t think too much of it.

Only, from then on I started seeing it MORE. Every time someone markets a 90s or 80s throwback…

Goddammit they’re identical! What??! How did we let this happen? As a 90s survivor and a designer, this drives me up a wall.

Look, I know I’m late to the party to complain about “the 90s look” when we’re just starting to get sick of the Y2K nostalgia train. But c’mon, the 90s were not The 80s: Part Two™ 

Trust me when I say that we weren’t all wearing neon trapezoids up until the year 2000. The 90s look being peddled is so specific to the tail end of the 80s and an early early part of the 90s - a part of the 90s when it wouldn’t stop being the 80s. This is Memphis design being conflated with the wrong decade.
