About

Hi, I’m Brandon!

I’m a guy from northern California. I have always loved drawing and discovered digital art as a passion in 2016.

A few years later, I took a few weeks off for the birth of my daughter. In those weeks, I became obsessed with learning how to animate (I get obsessed with things often).

Knowing nothing about animation, I found Blender 3D.

I originally created this website as an art portfolio. While there are definitely some good Blender tutorials out there, I found some topics weren’t covered that well. I became frustrated that many tutorials assumed I knew more than I did.

So I tried my hand at making a tutorial on YouTube (it sucked). Then I made a few more and they got a little better. Pretty soon, my site was more about teaching others to learn Blender than sharing my own art.

I then became obsessed with blogging and dabbled in creating other blogs. Most notably, All Solano is a local news and community site for the county I live in (California). If you happen to be from California, I’d love to see your support at All Solano.

I am still passionate about digital art and Blender 3D. But, I have a lot of other interests. In 2024, I began the process of re-branding my site to be more of a blog for… whatever I feel like blogging about.

My interests include much more than digital art. I’m a human, a father, a husband, a police officer and my friends will attest that I “go down a lot of rabbit holes.” Maybe it’s ADHD or something. I like exploring different things and learning about them. I’ve also learned I enjoy sharing what I experience… even if absolutely nobody reads what I’m blogging about.

Affiliate Income Disclaimer

As a way to support my page, I have a few small income streams. I make YouTube videos on at least two channels which pay me for advertising views.

I also use affiliate ads and links from a variety of companies including Amazon and Envato Elements. As an Amazon Associate I earn commissions from qualified purchases. These affiliate links do not cost you anything. If you click on them and choose to make a purchase, I receive a small commission for the referral. (Thank you!)

Trust me, it’s not much but the income goes toward paying for things like web hosting. I will disclose whenever I use a link to an affiliate product on a page. Oh, and here are my favorite Blender add-ons! if you’re a Blender user.

A more recent development is I’ve added advertisements to my site. I’ve tried not to go crazy but these help pay for fixed costs such as web hosting. The advertisements are currently from Google Adsense which does personalize ads to improve your experience. You can view and change your personal ad settings with Google here.
