The final 2 eps of "Smiling Friends" drop on 4/12 at 11pm on Adult Swim. Director David Hootselle made this amazing animated video of his time on the show. He is a super cool dude, funny as hell, and also a young, punk kid who made good! Check the 1st comment on the vid and meet the crew!
There was that one time when someone was very happy because they got a dole whip at their local county fair. I got 2 spoons so I could eat it with both hands!
It’s getting closer! A new trailer for “Kevin” is out! And it includes a lovely smattering of shots that I animated!
“Kevin” premieres April 20th on Amazon Prime Video!
The first show I worked on was "Harvey Birdman Attorney At Law". I was hired when they switched to Flash for S2. Here's a shot I did from S2.E2 "Trio's Company". In 2003 we were all still pretty new to Flash. A lot of figuring things out as we went along. This was done in Flash MX (Flash 6).
That leaves me out. I actually drew it. LoL.
My animation on Netflix alert! Digman! season 1 is now available on Netflix! Hopefully season 2 will follow at some point, and hopefully they’ll green light season 3!
My buddy Todd Redner wrote and directed this short for Adult Swim Smalls. He tapped me for some animation assistance and I happily said yes. The short has been released today on Adult Swim’s YouTube channel. Go give “Bad Luck Buck” a watch, a like and a share!
My animation on TV alert!! I did character animation on this show last year. “Kevin” premieres April 20th on Amazon Prime!
I made myself a new shirt. Beta Shift!!
That wasn’t after Lower Decks, it was during Lower Decks. It took place between LD seasons 3 and 4.
It sure was fun working on the last 5 episodes of this season, with the final 2 (309 and 310) airing on April 12th at 11pm on Adult Swim.
Yes, it’s sad, but those guys made an incredible thing and I consider myself lucky to have contributed just a little bit!
I got on to the “Smiling Friends” crew this past September to help them finish up season 3, and I had hopes I’d be on it for a while. Well, it was just announced by the show’s creators that they’ve decided to end it now.
Zach and Michael released this announcement explaining their decision.
I know Lower Decks fans are perturbed that the Cerritos is not featured in the Star Trek 60th anniversary intro. But the entire thing is an homage to the S-field sequence from the series finale where the Cerritos transforms while traveling thru the rift. So IMO, the Cerritos is all the ships!
A Star Trek Lower Decks shot that I animated. Carol sitting dressed as Mark Twain while the alien Chalnoth roars at her with Rutherford, Boimler and Shax standing watching.
I do declare, congratulations are in order, you charming devil!
This is one of the first scenes I ever animated on the show. I had just met them. 🙂
Hey! Great to see Paramount dropping some new Lower Decks promo content! Plus I animated much of the Riker and Q shots!
Thank you, PBS for giving us heroes.
Hey! My animation on TV alert! The first episode of "Smiling Friends" I worked on has aired on Adult Swim, and is now streaming on HBO Max! Season 3, episode 6 "Squim Returns". Give it a watch!
They are coming out with a classic style 1/6th scale Disney animation desk. Where the heck am I going to get a ream of teeny acme punched animation paper?? 🔎✏️
Haha! Boimler is a fan of Smiling Friends!!
“Kevin”, the show I animated on earlier this year is announced! Co-created by Aubrey Plaza and an all-star voice cast including Jason Schwartzman, Whoopie Goldberg and John Waters will be airing on Amazon Prime sometime in the near future! Keep an old one-eye out for it!

Thanks to a buddy from my Turner days, I was brought on to the retakes animation team for the Adult Swim show “Smiling Friends” to help them put the finishing touches on S3. Ep01 of S3 premieres tonight at 11:30pm on Adult Swim, and a day later on HBO Max. It’s a funny, well-done show! Check it out!
I was there! This was also the only Lower Decks panel (of the 3) that Fred attended. I told him he was on the guest list but he kept thinking he was crashing.
