Tyler Walpole - Gen Con booth 1355

Very cool! “Motion comics cinematics”is probably the closest term to what I’m looking to do.

Awesome, thanks!

I’ll try that. I found Motion Graphic Designers, but that seems more for graphic design that moves.

Hey, thanks!

I’m not hiring yet, just doing research. Hopefully that’ll change this fall. :)

Hey Bluesky animators, I need your help with something. I’m looking to hire folks in the future to help me make motion-comics style animations from my 2-D illustrations.

What is the title of that job? How do I find folks with those skills?

Something like this.

A particularly gut wrenching excerpt from this article:

Ember the little red dragon from the book “the bakery dragon” sitting in front of a bakery window on cobblestone. He is covered in blue stickers that say “Barnes and Noble Children and YA Book Awards”

Can hardly believe it but my book “The Bakery Dragon” won the 2025 Barnes & Noble Children’s & YA Book Award 🥺

Amazing! Huge congrats!!

"Trans people existing does literally nothing negative to your lives you crybaby wimps.
Your life is getting harder and costlier because of the oligarchs, not trans people"

Sticker spotted in Koreatown, Los Angeles, CA

Your shape language is so cool!

I’m enjoying Maron’s podcast retirement tour.

Cruel & heartless.
These veterans signed up to serve. These veterans knew their lives could be on the line at any moment.
And then our gov't won't be paying them what they earned?
This is abhorrent.

US Air Force to deny retirement pay to transgender service members being separated from the service The U.S. Air Force has decided to deny early retirement options for transgender service members with 15 to 18 years of service.

Unbelievably cruel.

I hate this timeline.

Yeah, I’m the second one. I can be sociable for quite a while, but then I gotta do that recharge.

Oh, I’m no extrovert, lol. I’m pretty good at being “on” for cons, but then I crave solitude. :)

Heart broken.

I can’t see the original post. It would be heartbreaking if Pete was abandoning the trans community.

I’ve come to realize that I develop some level of face-blindness later in the day at a busy convention. It makes for some…awkward moments.

At Gen Con this year it happened with another artist that had actually visited me in my studio once. 😳

So yeah, that’s fun.

That’s Tim Onion.

He’s secretly short. He just has REALLY good lifts in his shoes.

Re-upping this from November. Some of us have consistently tried to warn about what was to come. Many of us were treated as hysterical.

If I go to MCM London in October 2026, any Magic retailers wanna bring me in for a signing?

JFC. On what possible grounds? Not showing up for work?

I hate this political era. The perfect storm of ignorance, cowardice, and cruelty.

A few friends have been working on an epic documentary these past six years-IGNITING THE SPARK-The Story of Magic: The Gathering is now released!
Brian, Seth, Kelley and their associates logged hundreds of hours of interviews.

It is so worth the watch!

Screenshot: Hello! My name is Brian LaRossa, I’m executive art director in Scholastic’s hardcover picture book group, where I’ve worked for 20 years. I oversee our Branches and Acorn imprints which are beginning graphic readers and illustrated chapter books, I also oversee our younger nonfiction series, and a good number of stand alone fiction and nonfiction picture books for our Orchard imprint. If you're an illustrator who is interested in working together I would love to hear from you! I've created this form to help me capture a record of your interest. Please note that this form is not time-sensitive. I keep it live year-round. When beginning new projects I routinely check the spreadsheet for new submissions and search/sort my notes on previous submissions. In addition, I also regularly post open calls, exclusively on Bluesky. I invite you to follow me there and submit your work! If your work is a good fit for an upcoming title I will reach out at that time. Until then, take care!

Hey illustrators! Did you know there's a contact form on my website just for you? When beginning new projects I routinely check the spreadsheet for new submissions and search/sort my notes on previous submissions.

Transgender folks are some of the most courageous people I know. Just sayin’.

God. Fuck AI.
