Animation and Video Life Blog
Dating back to April of 2008, I started this blog originally as a conceptual art project for a series of poetic sci-fi monologues I wrote that year. Shopping at Macey's was the first and only post.
Later that year I repurposed the blog as a place to write about the animations I was creating on GoAnimate - sharing my behind the scene tips with other GoAnimators and talking about where my inspirations came from.
As I expanded into using other animation software I started reviewing each application and writing tutorials for them.
Today the blog has grown into a more general blog for animation creators and has even made more than one list of Top 100 animation sites animators should know.
I still blog about my own projects but I also work with brands who invite me to review or promote their related products from time to time.

The Extraordinary Tourist Life blog
My original 'writing' blog where I write about anything and everything that interests me (not related to animation or video creation) began back in 2004, embeded into one of my early websites.
Today it is a lifestyle website that has posts on all kinds of topics that interest me or relate to what I'm doing including; Travel Diaries, Movie Reviews, Opinion Pieces, Technology, Humor, Life Observations, Pet Updates, Vehicle Repair and more.
It's basically the online magazine of my life and interests. You probably won't want to read every post but there's bound to be something that interests you from time to time.

YouTube Channels
I have two personal YouTube Channels that I post videos to as much as I can.
The Extraordinary Tourist
This is my original channel started in 2006. It started as a showcase of my paintings, where you could see me speed paint my artworks and learn about the inspiration behind them. I also used to do comedy art sketches as well.
From there it evolved into something of an art, video diary but as I transitioned into animation I found I had less and less traditional artwork to share.
I still post to the channel. The videos are now a mix of art and skateboarding... and sometimes those two things together.

TET Animations
This channel started out as an archive of all my GoAnimations but is now where I post all my completed animated shorts, along with any other animation related videos such as tutorials, behind the scenes diaries etc.
Being an animation channel it can be a while between posts but if you do want to see my progression as an animator this is almost my entire catalogue since 2008.

Social Media
I'm on various social media sites. The icons below link to my personal pages if you'd rather link to those rather than my social media links to Art Time Productions. Facebook and Instagram are where I tend to post most frequently.
