For many of us, the lockdown provided ample opportunity to pursue interests that perhaps we hadn't made time for in "the before times". I've always been curious about animation - what a superpower - to give life to the imagination so completely! This was my first foray into the skill.
Lots of folks baked delicious sourdoughs. I did... This.
This character is ultimately an outlet that blends my passions of rigorous activity, empathy, and an everlasting dedication to the process of play.
Welcome to Hugh Manatee's Gym and Kelp Bar
The Vanity Insanity Manatee himself: It's Hugh!
"Gym owner - never gym moaner, my brus*."
As just a wee calf, Hugh was abandoned by his herd for being too scrawny... But don't cry, 'cause that didn't sink him! He was able to rise above his troubled calf-hood with the help of generous folk of all shapes, sizes and species along his journey. This diverse influence has shaped him into becoming the kindest, most supportive and dedicated coach and pal to any creature who is willing to show up and get real in touch with their inner and outer health and wellness.
Hugh believes that every challenge is worth facing snoot-on, and is focused on gettin' super pumped with empathy-informed training. After all...
"The heart's the most important muscle of all, my Brus...
No point in looking rad if you don't feel rad!"
