First pass. You didn't think it was just a hashtag I made up for shits and giggles, did you? (You probably did, but shut up) Well, think again! Normally, I would save the art for the other account @brandonian_syndrome, but this little project is meant for both universes. Much like a comic book crossover! #ReclaimMyRespect #MoreThanAHashtag #Art #Creativity #CreatorMade #CreatorOwned #BrandonianSyndrome #TypographyIGuess #SonLane #SonLaneArmy

My interest was finally piqued enough, I suppose. I'm always interested in learning new things. #AlwaysLearning #AlwaysAStudent #LifestyleChange #BrazilianJiuJitsu #MartialArts #LearningOnABudget

@kalikazoo killed her set! Listen to her music and see her live! You won't regret it. If you do, however, I'll buy you an ice cream sandwich and an Angry Orchard. Pinky swear. (at The Prospector)

So the tattoo is almost healed. Actually quicker than I thought. I thought it would be another week definitely. I may be a bleeder and hate pain, but damn I heal quickly. Who the hell is Wolverine?! #Tattoo #FirstTattoo #Healing #VideogameTattoo #TekkenTattoo #JinKazama #KazamaBrand

To give the viewers an idea of how far things have come along, and to show myself, this is what Cocky Kickboxer originally was/looked like. The generic boxer thing was supposed to be a one of a series of generic occupations that I was going to draw as character designs. Notice how wack this is. Hell, I'm amazed at where I am compared to this. I suppose it's comforting to know 2016 me can beat the shit out of 2013 me, design-wise. #BrandonianSyndrome #RIPSonLane #ProgressComparison #GenericBoxer #CockyKickboxer #BlewMyselfOutOfTheWater #ImBetterThanIThinkIAm #Artist #CharacterDesign #CharacterComparison

I began (really, returned to) doing character studies/designs/turnarounds. This is a revamp of a 'generic boxer' design I did 3 years ago. Looking back, generic is today's "basic," and my works are not basic bitch material. So, this one has personality, a new hairstyle, everything. He doesn't have a name yet. My original thought was, "The Cocky Kickboxer." #BrandonianSyndrome #NewArt #CharacterDesign #CharacterStudy #CharacterTurn #CockyKickboxer #Kickboxer #CreatorMade #CreatorOwned #HomeGrownStudio #HomeGrownArt

Once every year, I clear out my room of clothes and other things I don't need or use anymore. Some of it is trash, and can't be salvaged, but most of my stuff I donate to Goodwill. More people use this place than you might consider. One thing I am trying not to be as I grow wiser, is a hoarder and a packrat. Let somebody else benefit if I'm not doing anything with it, right? Also, a clean room makes me feel like a good human being. And Misfit can't hide from me when I wrap her up in a towel.

Bringing in the new year with a new mascot and a few changes! Let's do 2016 right, kids! #NewYearNewMascot #BrandonianSyndrome #SayGoodbyeTo #SonLane #NewArt #TreeFrog #Fireworks #ThreePieceSuit #Chalice #LetsFuckingGo

Last bit of 'Common Sense Wisdom' for the year, folks. #SonLane #CommonSenseWisdom #LetsGrowUp

Amid the paper carnage, the tradition continues. A tale of games and souls, eternally retold. #SonLane #PlaystationOnChristmas #PS4 #ChristmasMorning #19Years #GonnaBeMadSaltSoon #ButICantThrowThisController #SoIThrowYouInstead #MerryChristmasToMe

Everything is done, ready, and set to go in the A.M.. Gifts wrapped, tree decorated, house cleaned, outfit organized (no more wearing pajamas all day), I know I'm waking up in 4 hours, and it's all good. I get to spend another Christmas with my family, I'm in moderate health, I have a roof over my head and a meal to eat. Today, I'm grateful (it doesn't hurt that I still get gifts, either). Happy Holidays, everyone. #SonLane #HappyHolidays #MerryChristmas #OrKwanzaa #FelizNavidad #happyhanukkah #MerryFestivus #HopeYouWereGoodThisYear #IWas #Maybe

Everyday, I pass by this place. Everyday, as I drive past it, I look upon it, and I see what I want my dream to be like. I see a large place, a haven that encourages creativity, exciting ideas and dreams I would be amazed by. A place where animation isn't outsourced, where it's home grown and it can not only keep up with other top notch studios, but, more often than not, blaze right past them. I haven't shared that with many, because I'm of an odd mindset, that once it's said, it's just words and fluff with no end result. Ultimately, that's up to me. How I get there, what I'm willing to do, to sacrifice, it's all up to me. Changes must be made. #Dreams #Goals #HomeGrownStudio #AmericanAnimation #SonLane #BrandonsDream #FutureVision

Yeah, Bran made pizza monkey bread a couple days ago. It was glorious. Bran's cooking = GODLIKE. #gamereferences #SomeOfYouWontGetIt #ItsCool #StayFree

Riding the ink wave! A little #AfterInktober piece! Lately, you've seen a lot of Bengus studies from me, but my favorite Capcom artist is actually Kinu Nishimura! I know her work from the Street Fighter III series and the Capcom vs. SNK series (CVS2 being my favorite)! #SonLane #SonLaneArt #ArtOnSocialMedia #Art #InkInstigator #MarkerMarauder #StudiesArt #KinuNishimura #Capcom #Ryu #TheWorldWarrior #StreetFighter3 #Pen #Marker #Prismacolor #AfterInktober

Superman ain't about that flight life anymore, lol.
