As of today, it has been exactly 10 years since I started creating and sharing a 3D animated GIF artwork every single day!
I originally began learning 3D and making GIFs after being inspired by many of the digital artists I had started to find on Tumblr back in 2013. When I decided to start making a GIF every day in April 2014, with very little prior art experience, I never could have imagined that I would still be here doing it 10 years later.
I'm incredibly grateful for everyone who has stuck around and supported my work in any way over the last decade. Likewise, I also have to thank everyone I've had the chance to work or collaborate with over the duration of this project! This has been a huge learning experience, and I am very proud of how far things have come.
To the best of my knowledge, I am the first artist to complete 10 years of daily GIFs, but I have to give major props to the other artists that I know of who paved the way and passed this milestone before me in their respective mediums:
@songadaymann / @catswilleatyou / @beeple / @graebor / @rawandrendered
With that being said, after a lot of contemplation, I have decided that today will mark the completion of my daily GIF project. I have no plans to stop creating and sharing my art, but after 10 years of pushing to have an animation done every single day, it's time for a change of pace.
There are still so many things I want to learn, and now feels like the right time to give myself the room to explore and give it a try.
Thank you again for the support. I'm excited to see what the future holds.
my first attempt at making a seamless repeating pattern! You can see how some of the elements go off the sides▫️◽◻️ I could've probably made it more dynamic but it was hard enough to do this as is 😅 looking forward to more experiments!!
I've just released 22 new natural wall, cliff, and slope assets! If you enjoy caves and wilderness maps, these are for you. Try them for free on our website!

In Washington County, Maine, nothing says winter's almost here, more than a flock snow buntings over red blueberry fields. 'Twas the inspiration for this third Maine animals-in-winter-themed seamless pattern design. Planning sets of holiday cards for next year.
