For a long time I was concerned with separating the things I did, and sectioning off different things I did to maintain some kind of arbitrary “professional” persona. I’m not sure why I was so concerned with that, but I am done. I make a lot of different types of things. Some of those things are silly, and some of them are not (they might all seem silly to some, but that’s not my concern.)

I wrote and illustrated a few books for my kids over the past years, and I turned one of those books into a cartoon that I posted on youtube. I’m posting that here so that people can see that it was something I did.

Part of the reason I want to do this is because I think it’s absurd to chop myself up into a bunch of pieces in order to present different selves in different places. I don’t want my kids to do that, so I’m not going to model it anymore.

If you want to check out Snailiarty Eats Too Many Mints, voice acting by myself and my daughters, then here you go. It was, and is, one of my favorite things I’ve made with my kids over the years, and I don’t want to pretend that all I think about is war and the military despite writing and painting about it so much. Enjoy.
