What is Channel 7?

"Channel 7" is a silly animated series meant to parody the bizarre, anything-goes concept of public access television.I was tremendously inspired by the classic animated YouTube series "asdfmovie", created by Thomas Ridgewell (aka TomSka).asdf's simplistic visuals and fast-paced comedy are what made it so charming, but also what I find makes it feel so accessible. Ridgewell was able to create an iconic piece of internet culture with some really simple tools, which is where its importance to me really shines through.I like art that makes me feel like I could have made it. This isn't to say a project like asdfmovie is of some kind of lesser value because of its simplicity. I love it because it reminds me that I can make cool things too. Everyone can.I really appreciate when art feels accessible, I suppose.So, when it came time to decide what to do for my senior thesis project in college, I felt moved to try to make something of my own.

Channel 7 thrives under the notion that if you want to get something done, sometimes you just have to do it poorly.I had all these ideas for what I wanted to do with this pilot episode. I had spent so much time on the planning stage that December had rolled around and I hadn't even begun animating yet.Then came the grand realization:
Making something amazing is really difficult. Making something stupid and shitty is really easy.So I decided to make Channel 7 dumb as fuck.It certainly wasn't asdfmovie, but it made me laugh and was fun to look at. And sure enough, people loved it. My professors, classmates, friends, family- people were really entertained, despite it being stupid.

Channel 7 is a celebration of making messes. Messes are really easy to make. They're so easy that anyone can make them. But you still get to call it art. It can still be a comedy show, or some deep message about the state of things, it doesn't really matter. It's your mess, you get to call it what you want :)

Post 1 - hi.

hey.
I was planning more of a full-site-revamp + visual overhaul, but I decided just implement the new pages and splash a bit of red into all this blue.

I have a lot of big plans for 2026, and updating this site is the foundational first step to a lot of those. In 2025, zemessai.com was pretty much just a portfolio site. The portfolio content is still here, just condensed into a proper Portfolio tab.For 2026, I'd like to follow through on my vision for making zemessai.com my "home base" of sorts online. This is where the Projects and Journal tabs come in.

The Projects tab is a hub that houses subpages for my various creative projects. As of tonight, Channel 7 and Meadowlark will be the only projects living there, but more will come soon.
With this section, I'll get to really dive into my projects with you- I can share work, explain my ideas, and lay out my plans.

The Journal tab, as you might have gathered by now since you're inside it, gives me a space to talk further about creative plans/ideas. I don't plan on any sort of schedule for journal posts- I'll make them when I feel the need to share a new idea, something that inspires me, or some miscellaneous third thing.

This site update + my great big 2026 plans come as a result of a burst of newfound yet familiar inspiration. I'll get into it next post.
Here's a song in the meantime:

Post 2 - the year 2026

hi.
I'm back. Now I get to tell you about the cool plans I have for 2026 :)

I've talked a lot with friends about wanting to make 2026 a year in which I build things that'll carry on into subsequent years. I kinda do that by continuing to exist, but it's an idea I'm excited about regardless.

zemessai.com is the start of this, as I had mentioned in the last post. Using this site as a creative home base for myself is a fun idea I'd like to integrate into my process. These journal posts (which I'd like to make at least a weekly thing), act as little check-ins or updates where I can spill about where my brain's been at- what I'm working on, what's inspiring me, etc.

Figuring out how to use the Projects tab is going to be an ongoing process, and it'll likely look different from project to project, but I finally got to work and wrote a little intro to Channel 7 in its corresponding page. I have a lot more to say about it, but it's worth taking a look at now!

This next idea will take some work, but I'd like to make 2026 the year I finally open a Sticker Shop!! I've had dozens of fun doodles and designs that have been begging to be turned into stickers, and I'm tired of just sitting around thinking about it. Since I'm wanting to build up this site and make it a place worth visiting, I'd like to figure out how to host the shop right here on zemessai.com!

More projects I'm excited about:⊹ Channel 7.3!!! I'm wanting to make it funnier and more memorable than the previous two episodes- I want to really follow through on what the show is meant to be, now that I'm doing it without an assigned due-date. I also want to give it a devoted promotional rollout for its release.⊹ Rearranging/reimagining my room and turning it into a creative studio! I've always been really jazzed by the idea of an office/studio, and I know they say you should separate your work and rest spaces, but I'll have to make-do as-is. I think changing up my environment will be really invigorating :)⊹ Meadowlark! Where Channel 7 is an experiment with humor and internet culture, Meadowlark is my tonally serious project, and it's been a long time coming. There's much more to figure out about it compared to Channel 7, however, so I'll have to get into it later.⊹ TikTok! My TikTok page has actually been doing quite well. I started January at around 100 followers, and I could very well hit 200 by the end of the month! It's been incredibly refreshing actually getting some kind of reception to sharing work online- I never used to get anything out of sharing work on places like Instagram or Twitter. TikTok has allowed me to build a fun little digital art-journal, and people seem to be having as much fun with it as me :) I'm hoping the audience I'm slowly building there will have fun with stuff like Channel 7 or the sticker shop! Time will tell, but I'm going to make a point to start plugging zemessai.com there more often.

That's probably plenty for one post. I know at the end of the last post I talked about exploring "newfound yet familiar inspiration", but I think I was imagining I'd write about it pretty soon after making the first post. Now it's been weeks. That inspiration is still there, and I still have words for it, but I'll have to get into it next time.It does has a lot to do with music and identity, though, so....Here's that playlist I promised.
