In with the New!
2026 began with a hiatus from weekly online live streaming, quietly celebrating our successes and mourning our disappointments. 2025 was a year of growth and realizations. We’ve stepped back and reflected on the last six years of Hero Shack. Our goals have not changed but our approach has – Hero Shack is venturing into uncharted […]

My Surprises in Making a Comic Cartoon

AI ANIMATION?
Ok – hear me out. I had always been somewhat of an opponent of AI for sometime – well, at least until the last year or two That’s when I started to dabble with ai audio. Using the suno service, I realized how quickly and easily I could use my lyrical skills to create fun […]
