Hey.

Tell people when they do good job.

When you like the stuff they make.

When you like the characters they’ve created.

The stories they’ve told.

Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time.

Trust. They don’t.

Tell. Them.

Keep it up guys, it's working. They're desperate.

Might legit be one of my favorite character design tropes in media

Cute, funny, cartoony looking protagonist paired against a vile, monstrous nightmare villain who you'd swear was from another franchise

This. We make art because we love what we're making, but the point of expressing that art is to connect with others, to have a human-to-human connection. External validation shouldn't be your motivation, but having that effort and heart answered is the lifeblood of creativity.

such a lovely thing to think about

Happy #IndieAnimationDay! Why not spend today taking a gander at our pilot? 🌟

So it begins

"Our most important advice: If you have never finished a comic before, make a >30 page comic before starting a large one. I literally cannot stress this enough."

Hazel and I gave a presentation for some senior illustration students at Emily Carr today! Unfortunately I didn't get any photos but I do have this slide from our powerpoint to share with everyone.

Panel 1: The ADHD Alien character stands against a pink background, looking determined. She says: “I’m done constantly having to better myself!” A caption adds: “I’ll keep taking responsibility for my actions and growth,” and below: “but I’m tired of having to prove to the world that I’m not lazy about my ADHD symptoms.” Panel 2: Split scene. On the left, she points and shouts: “Read more books!” and “Think of how your ADHD affects others!” On the right, she is on all fours, struggling under a heavy stack of books. Panel 3: Warm, glowing scene labeled “To myself.” A gentle, glowing figure speaks to her: “You are enough, right now. Face situations as they arise,” and “keep growing from a place of love, not of feeling not good enough.” A small heart floats between them.

I'm done hating myself, I just wanna sleep

Everyone get ready for TV's Ghost of TV's Frank!

It's so cool how a bunch of kids realized there was a genocide in the middle east in 2023 and now suddenly every major company and government is tripping over their own dicks to turn the world into an Orwllian surveillance state so that never happens again.

TV's Ghost of TV's Frank!

this was funnier in my head

THEY ARE BALLIN

if i know discord for anything is that they can and will pussy out if people bully them enough for something. get fucking loud about this

I sure hope people who still pay for nitro after all the BS discord has pulled actually cancel it this time over this.

Im sorry did young robert's trials and tribulations teach these people nothing

Iron Man meme, edited, Obadiah Stane yelling, "Your ancestors made timeless art in a cave! With berries and ash!"

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

This is why artists need to abandon trying to appease algorithms. Increasingly, nothing you do is going to help you crack that barrier.

Just make the art you want to make.

PART 2 “Time to pay up, pal…
OR ELSE 🔥🔥🔥”

A classic tweet from @kennykeil [Bluto subtweeting after getting his ass whooped] I don't know who needs to hear this but spinach isn't a personality

2020 vs 2023

It looks like they felt that one!

Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.

So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

Lives were changed. You just had to be there.
