I was props master for The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals: Reprise! I've got lots of fun behind the scenes stuff to share, gonna start with one of my favorite things I did for the show--painting this portrait 🤣
Lauren directed Will to pose, and I snapped this reference pic on my phone (post rehearsal, which is why he's only got the jacket and wig on).
Here's a few progress snapshots from my Clip Studio Paint file! I mostly used the default gouache brush to make it feel like a real oil painting!
Took me about 10 hours spread out over a couple days to paint, and then our scenic designer Colin printed it up and built that beautiful frame!!
Original idea was to have him holding his beloved assistant Alexa, but Lauren eventually decided it would telegraph the joke too early in the scene so I painted it out.
And there it is on set!! (That's also my own actual keyboard 😘 When Will says "MUSICAL THEATER" I'm the person rolling the piano on stage 🤣)
Thank you everyone for supporting the show, and i hope you enjoy the pro-shot on youtube!
I'll post more bts stuff here and there! I'm also going to do a twitch watch through of the proshot with Assistant Props Master Mari to discuss everything we did for the show!

The Three Tomes Kickstarter is Live. Check out the trailer and let's help tell the story of this black magical girl witch and vampire romance.
Tammy Harris was just an ordinary 17 year old girl. Then one night while making a short horror film with her best friend Sia, she gains the powers of a witch from an ancient tome with spirits inside. Now she'll have to capture them and face off against a mysterious foe that sends its vampire minions after her and her friends. However...she'll have to try to not fall in love with two vampires along the way. Will Tammy and Sia’s friendship survive this supernatural summer, and will Tammy's romantic endeavors with two vampires be more than she can handle? A queer YA coming of story about a black magical girl with witch powers, and vampire romance awaits.
A queer YA coming-of-age story about a black teen witch girl in the 2010s, fighting monsters and falling in love with vampires.
Three cast unlocks in and we are NOT slowing down 🎲🪦
🎲 GARY — the Game Master. award-winning fantasy author. 15 years of writer's block. He needs this quest more than anyone.
⚒️ MELANIE — the heart of the group. the actress who never quite made it. but as Melanor, Holy Knight of the Goddess Amal, she finally gets to be the star she always was.
🧪 KEVIN — the loud but lovable jerk. in-game Rogue known only as... BONER LORD. bankrupted his best friend's company and is pretty sure she's not still mad about it. (she is.)
Who's next?!
We genuinely cannot believe we get to make shows like this with all of you. every backer, every share, every "i told my friend about starkid". That's what makes shows like Tomb Quest possible!
Back the campaign and help us unlock the rest of the party 👇

Im gonna be so real can yall actually talk about ways we can support trans women in the UK instead of giving all the attention to fucking JKR. I already know that Harry Poter sucks, I wanna know how to actually HELP people. Something something you have to love the oppressed more than you hate the oppressor
Adding some from Scotland I have experience with and afaik take donations, some are broader but with good trans inclusion:
Scottish Trans - Trans advocacy, information and social events. Run by the Equality Network, a broader Scottish LGBTQI advocacy group.
LEAP Sports Scotland - Sports charity that advocates for queer inclusion in sports, runs trans sports groups (Trans Active) in at least Glasgow and Edinburgh that I can absolutely recommend.
LGBT Health & Wellbeing - Not trans specific but includes trans specific, trans led and trans inclusive support and social events, and supports a variety of smaller community-run subgroups.
And another couple UK-wide:
Gender Identity Research & Education Society - Trans led charity supporting research on trans matters and education/training on trans inclusion. Does consultancy for public and private sector organisations.
Trans Kids Deserve Better - Trans advocacy and activist group led by and for trans kids. They do good work.

Painting study of a frame from Wake Up Dead Man - 90ish minutes, Clip Studio Paint, mostly the default gouache brush with a little sweeteners at the end using the big blurry spraypaint brush!
Loved this movie!
I'd so deeply like to believe every engineer around me is on the same wavelength understanding that building AI tooling is building (most of our) own career graves. Just with the pressure on our backs of "get fired now for not doing this or get fired later when the AI replaces us."
But then also I see an effusively pro-AI LinkedIn post from my boss and I just. You understand the never-subtly-stated goal is job elimination, yeah? You and so many other people across so many other sectors. "AI can do for $20/month what an expert would charge hundreds an hour for!" That's you! You're the expert!!! The only winners here are the company owners paying an AI subscription instead of paying employee packages, and the AI sellers laughing to the bank.
They're not being subtle! The company will work you to the grindstone and keep with this pattern of "unprecedented" ~10% annual layoffs, that started in 2023 and won't stop. The desk next to you is empty. Bob used to sit there. Theo used to sit in the next room. I'm not insane. They want you to make the AI and then they want you gone! Hello! Hello?
