Ha ha, yeah that was me. I miss old Jo a lot but thats a wound i'm not interested in opening. I hope she is doing well.

Im doing okay, moved from Australia to Canada back in June, been working shitty jobs since I got here but I just got a 15 month contract doing visual effects on a 2D animated feature. All After Effects work and they are going to try to sponsor me so I can stay here. These days i'm far more qualified as a video editor (spent the last few years cutting TV commercials for Volkswagen) then I am an animator. Animation and Illustration is just something I do now to let of steam. Speaking of Steam I am wanting to try my hand at game development as well, I feel like theres a lot of opportunity for narrative experimentation in that area.

Other then that just doing my own thing, sometimes I wish I had the sort of audience I had when I was in high school, especially now that monetisation is a thing, but considering that I lost that audience because of how my taste changed as I grew up maybe its not a bad thing. Been doing this shit since 2001 and its certainly been interesting watching online animation evolve in that time.
