Kyukyu's Big Adventure (2011), dir. Shinji Otsuka, Studio Ghibli

Key animation by Shinji Otsuka

If you cannot run your business by following simple laws, you don’t have a business, you have a racket.

Shocking stat of the day:

In 2025, the Big 5 legacy studios (Universal, Paramount, Disney, Sony, WB) are releasing just 1 original film that's not a sequel or from pre-existing source material.

Hollywood theatrical animation is on life support & it didn't need to be like this.

Fish of the week: freckled hawkish!

This is good.

Constantly waiting for some wise ass to try to bill allowing people who have objections to a book, the freedom to not have to check it out

I just WANT TO GO HOME

"beloved children's institution funded by taxpayer dollars whose rights and distribution had been scooped up by a private company announcing layoffs once staff begins to organize" is a little too on the nose for 2025 america

Akira Toriyama should have turned 70 today ;_;

It’s always when I draw dogs

*forced customer service laugh*

Studios and developers want instant financial success and cite media like Spongebob- a show that did not do super well in the ratings for two seasons and was granted a third anyway. This industry used to grant time and trust to let things develop, find a voice, find an audience, be marketed.

No horse in this race, BUT:

The new Shrek designs are an improvement. Fix your hearts and eyes.

I wish Dragonball and Z lived up the wide ranging experiences of Toriyama's random illustrations and covers. Like I wanna see Goku drive an F1 car sponsored by Marlboro!

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Monthly reminder to Glaze and Nightshade your work if you're posting it online.

I know it's a pain and you kinda just wanna upload and be done.

But the world is cruel and too many freaks and thieves still want unfettered access to your drawing style.

Take the time to Defend your shit.
