Well, I’m not sure, “summering at home,” is a thing, however, between the traveling and projects, I haven’t been on my desktop computer to finish any current After Effects projects.

Although I do take the time to stay current on the work of Stefan Kunz, who wrote this beautiful little book that sits on my coffee table btw,

and whose recent tutorial introduced me to Animation Assist in Procreate. What!? I have used Procreate since 2019 to create gifs with out the assist, what a disaster! Who knew you could actually onion skin in Procreate. Mind Blown!

At some point, maybe when we are not paying for two kids in private school, I will take Stefan’s Procreate Animation Class. In the meantime, I can now play on the goooooo, or in my living room with Procreate + movement. Too fun!

Thank you Stefan ! ❤
