Be careful about what you read in the trade papers. I remember WGA constantly hammering this point during the strike. Be conscious of what you post online and how it can be used for or against you. Build consensus by talking to your fellow members.

Idk it’s just so strange to read! You only really learn about Spielberg through the lense of film, where he’s regarded as a god. Now I’m reading a book about him being immature, vindictive and jealous of John Landis of all people.

The author admits he can’t corroborate this, but there’s a rumor Spielberg tried to get Dee Wallace fired after having a conflict with her on E.T. His own mother is quoted in this book acknowledging his immature, vindictive side.

I’m reading Outrageous Conduct, which covers the Twilight Zone accident that led to the deaths of Vic Morrow and two children. It obviously goes in depth on the life of the director John Landis, but a side effect is that I’m getting forbidden gossip on Stephen Spielberg too.

I want a job so bad

Just found out I'm not being hired for the next season of the show I was on. If anyone hears of anything, please let me know.

First finished piece for the new year

Hey did anyone else get a strange email from a paranoid Gravity Falls fan?

My sister's present! Gonna whiten the eyes and get rid of the cloud outline.

My sister in law's present! I'm drawing her as Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender

🥰

If you’re working on a pitch packet that you haven’t pitched to a studio yet is it ok to post your illustrations online?

My brother in law's present! It's been a while since I've done these full color illustrations and I think I need to redo the boot shading. But honestly, for someone who hates Star Wars, I think I did an ok job!

Money is tight this year so instead of buying gifts I'm drawing! Here's the present for my 4 year old niece. She LOVED Wish!

Going through wedding pics and decided to do some sketches

I should probably make a real poster for Kelly and the Kung Fu Gators. Like a tall poster not a YouTube thumb poster

I was mostly able to follow! I didn’t think it was great but it’s not a bad movie. My biggest takeaway is that it’s lacking an emotional beat that Disney movies usually have and feels more plot driven instead.

About to watch Wish in Spanish with no subtitles I will report back

My Nia DaCosta hot take is that Little Woods is an excellent movie, and it’s a huge bummer to see the MCU throw a talented director under the bus to save a dying franchise.

I loved storyboarding, but as the years have gone by, the job has become very different and not really what I want to do anymore. I still need to work (I'm so unemployed) but I also have to be honest with myself about what I really want.

I want to b a television writer.

I went to a film festival! Look how professional I look!

Me when storyboard pro crashes and I lose a whole days worth of work and the deadline is tomorrow

A few months ago I did a few #propdesigns based on @kristengish.bsky.social’s short Kelly & the Kung Fu Gators for a fun practice piece.

Please check the animatic out if you haven’t already: youtu.be/9lXL7ri_fHk?...

I keep forgetting twitter exists for people to vent out their most unfiltered pessimistic hot takes.

I know Ally McBeal is not anime but this is still weeb behavior so it counts as an AMV

I am obsessed with this YouTube channel that makes AMVs of Ally McBeal and Dr Quinn Medicine Woman.
