I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.
I'm serious, read it all please
frankly, i don't even think i want to work in "The Animation Industry" as it exists right now
It must be nice to be a sociopath, because all the new products are for you. The smart glasses will give you that woman’s address, the betting apps will finally let you make bank on war crimes.
Here’s the thing and I’m gonna tell you: a lot of fans are why so many creators just don’t want to create anymore. And so many of them are oddly proud of their ability to bully.
In order for cartoons as a concept to survive, they need to knock that shit off.
Comics schools need to beef up their comics writing and professional practices classes + we urgently need more platforms and journalism to support original graphic novels + more people who know about comics should apply their skills to parts of the publishing industry besides design and editorial.

Like this is just downright awful. ( My views are my own and do not come from my employer in any way) ( Unfortunately) But I think everyone in animation should be appalled and disgusted by this , hell anyone in entertainment. This is a slope down the hill of using AI to make everything and cut us .
In the richest city in the richest country on the planet, the thing we can’t afford is to forget those who are left hungry.
I’ve been drawing free stuff for the internet for the past 15 years, I got paid for a couple things.
You call me petite bourgeoisie I will make your nose meet the back of your skull with my fist
As this country crumbles, Indigenous rights and sovereignty are going to come to the forefront, as well as States Rights.
Be prepared to advocate for Native tribes and people. We are the front line and we hold the answers to lead a new way.
I can’t recommend enough that if you want to become a comic writer, you need to read comics. It’s so tempting to try to shove a wall of text into one page or a ton of scene changes, but that makes it really hard on artists to be able to properly adapt that
Kinda wild how the key to being a badass is to just start doing stuff consistently
Discovered there is a cat park in Philly! How did I not know this existed? 😹😹😹
The thing about the animated opening for Thundercats being drawn by a 22 year old is that:
1) he had more time than what we would normally associate with pipeline timing
2) he didn’t ink and paint it
Elemental is a good movie fuck you guys who said elemental wasn't a good movie
My favorite part of the morning is seeing an animatic on social media and seeing someone redrawing the pose for every separate frame like damn you don’t know what ctrl c and ctrl v do, that sucks man
Also today
AG Bondi says a DOJ employee has been fired after he was arrested for allegedly throwing a wrapped Subway sandwich at a federal law enforcement officer in Washington, D.C.

My 11-year-old daughter, unhappy with the snacks and the long lines at camp, decided to start her own business with a couple of her campmates. I found this document on my computer.
when male animators live too long, they literally all default to making movies about animals that are horny
I always think about how their leaders' backstory involved being crucified for years can't get more metal then that
I'm sorry, V*meo is now calling itself "An AI-Powered Video Platform"??
AI POWERED WHAT?
WHAT.EXACTLY.DOES.THE.AI.POWER?
I get the idea to back blender in the storyboarding space but here’s the thing: I need a storyboard program to be as dumb as possible. I want to draw quickly, I want to get ideas down, I want to get them in a file and I want to send that file. Blender is not quick at (at least) 2 of these.
i know it's just advertisement but it still pisses me off when tech CEOs claim AGI will solve humanity's problems with its vast intelligence. for a lot of problems we already know the solutions, what prevents them being solved is not a lack of intelligence, but that the solutions are unprofitable
Gandalf from the animated lord of the rings, wearing a grey robe, and a blue wizard's hat while he raises his hands in conjuring something up and the image is captioned "ooooooo self-doubt and self-loathing are over oooooo you're capable and worthy and sexy ooooooo"
Good morning✌️🍀
Picture of an owl, looking at the camera, wings pinned back and gliding above a picture of the same owl looking at the camera and raising one wing.
"Morning, Jim!"
"Hey, Tom."

That's how you need to respond to the onslaught of AI and its inherent emptiness. Counter that lack of meaning by engaging with the things that make like meaningful. Be sincere about things. Make your art without couching it in a joke or something. Write your human stories. It's okay!!
I've been thinking a lot about this recently, but not more than ever it feels important to be genuine about things. You're allowed to be human. Earnestly like things! Tell the people close to you that you appreciate them! Engage with stuff in a meaningful way! We can drop the irony and actually live
