I got my nails done for the first time today by myself. The only times I’ve gone was with my mom on/for special occasions. I’d love to learn how to do them myself! I adore the look and feel of them~

It’s honestly incredible how animation ‘fans’ consistently prove that they are one of the most entitled and insufferable fandoms out there. Celebrating leaks, harassing creators, and always looking for any reason to hateful is beyond bizarre behavior, but is unfortunately all too common

They’re home!! Isaac was so stressed haha I was too gobsmacked by it all for the stress to hit

‘We can’t have a girl power movie’ There’s so much I can say here, but women deserve to have their stories be unapologetically told. Young girls in the audience deserve to feel represented and seen in the stories they engage with.

With the Artemis II’s return later tonight, I thought this clip from an interview with astronaut Jeremy Hansen was well worth sharing✨🚀🌔

It would be great if the platform would act to increase support of the creators rather than make success on their platforms next to impossible

they're playing :)

If Pixar were to make A Bug’s Life today, they’d have the ants save Hopper from the bird, inspiring him to have a change of heart. Hopper would mercifully decide to give the ants an extension on their deadline. The movie would end with a big feast with the grasshoppers and the ants eating together.

Happy spring! I haven’t escaped the snow as of yet so I’m incredibly envious of everyone already enjoying sun and flowers. However, I’m starting to hear birds in the morning, so hopefully spring is just around the corner! #illustration #birdart

Hey I’m STILL DESPERATELY seeking freelance and or full time work. I’m in the red zone Financially, I’m at risk of losing my car, I’m still paying off my dental bills, and tax day is almost upon me. I could REALLY use a win, so please keep me in mind, if possible 🙏🥺

How did I not hear about the Artemis II launch?? That's so exciting! Best of luck Artemis II crew!🚀✨

Went to see Project Hail Mary with Isaac yesterday and I'm honestly surprised by how pleasant it was? Usually scifi movies solidly fall into the thriller/suspense genre, but this felt more like a Disney movie?? It was way more fun/optimistic than the outline reads.

For people who liked the latest Shanspeare video, I’d HIGHLY recommend reading (or listening to the audio book versions like I did) of Hood Feminism, Invisible Women, and Jesus and John Wayne

I bought a couple of bangles for an upcoming wedding and I fear I may be turning into a bangle girly.. I crave more

I DID SOMETHING KIND OF SCARY!! I removed almost all of my posts on ig! I want to curate my page with more intentionality, which means a lot of my older art is out of step with the new direction I'm aiming for. Even though it's a bit daunting, I'm excited to start fresh and with a clearer purpose~

Be SO proud of me! The whole apartment is clean AND I'm backing up my photos/videos on my phone for the first time in 10 years (there were 6500+ photos and videos👀)

rot :)

Took some time to refresh my banner! I had fun playing with all the different patterns and colors~🦋 #illustration #pattern

I haven't properly updated my profile pic in quite some time, so here we go! If you look closely you might notice something a little more different than usual✨ #illustration #portrait

Fun fact: The Disney strikes of 1941 helped build a postwar indie animation movement as many Disney Animators left to create their own studios and projects including the United Productions of America and Hubley Studio (which created the first Oscar winning indie animated film, Moonbird)!

But hey at least the animation industry's worse off thanks to him!! An entire industry in the dirt to make one rich guy even richer!

Huge congrats to Matt and the whole team!! Everyone should keep their eyes peeled for this project Working on this would be such a DREAM!! We need more fun shows like this out there 💕

Isaac and I started rewatching Pokémon Season 3 and it's such a nice romp!! The animation and visual direction is such eye candy. I feel like I need to do some studies..

...I want pokopia... imagine how much more money nintendo could make if they released pokopia for switch 1?

2 interviews this week... please wish me luck!! I need it!!

We went to see Nirvana: The Band-The Show-The Movie in theater and it was genuinely one of the most fun films we’ve seen in years!! It was also really cute to see how excited and proud people were to have Toronto/Ottawa represented

Lil crumbling castle commission!

I'm tired of seeing studios make stories about self discovery, hope, and togetherness only to turn around and behave in ways that spit in the face of that messaging bsky.app/profile/dail...

In addition to dangerous, predatory behavior being protected, the fact that this studio, despite making films like Bugs Life, is still not unionized paints a grim picture of the work environment and leadership..

If anyone's gonna have good indie game recs, it's Greg!! Check out this thread for cool games to try!⭐

it's so easy to create content to farm engagement.. all you need to do is post the most lukewarm-nuclear opinion, repost media you didn't create, and/or present widely available information as if it was ground breaking

Hey fellow Canadians, in case you need the reminder, our leadership has been up to the following: -Providing ICE with real estate, military vehicles, and more -Pushing forward bills to emulate ICE's practices -Espousing the same narrative as the Trump regime to justify war in Iran 1/

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I think that if sunfish could, the would be sunbathing in the sky ☁️ #art

okay im done soap boxing for a good long while haha I was going to post some art but then deadlines and headlines got in the way 🤪🤪🤪

I think a lot of people are looking for a simple solution on what to do in response to the state of the arts/entertainment industry and indie development. The reality is that there's no catch-all piece of advice, actionable solution, or singular point of direction. That's part of the trouble..

I wish I could draw as fast as a pokemon fan

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

'just go indie!' 'what's stopping you from making your own projects?' 'start your own studio!' 'there's never been a better time to be indie!' 'this is the perfect opportunity for creators!'

I got to illustrate some card designs for the Void Within pack for Neopets Battledome TCG! That Mau card is mine~

I want to live the life of the Kratt brothers. I literally cannot dream up a better life Global exploration? Animal education and advocacy? Leading children's educational programing? Traveling live shows? Incredibly successful 2D animated series running for over 10 years? Maybe in another life 😩

matt berstein's vid on 'the epidemic of celebrity cowardice' was curated specifically for me and my interests the hypocrisy of artists and entertainers wanting to /sell themselves/ WITHOUT standing with/for anything in the interest of being apolitical to make money has always BOGGLED me
