    On April 19th, I attended the inaugural BCON-LA hosted by CG Cookie (for whom I work for as an instructor).

    In 2022, I completed a full start-to-finish course using Blender’s Grease Pencil to create a comic for CG Cookie. The results for the course as well as the finished comic exceeded my expectations.
