Officially jealous of my dog’s life.

Droop

Because it’s cold out and I’m in the country, that’s why.

CAN YOU BELIEVE next month marks the 25th anniversary of Invader ZIM? It’s true! The show premiered March 30, 2001. Crazy to think I went straight from the womb to drawing deformed children at Nickelodeon! #invaderzim

To celebrate I whipped up this print featuring 2000 characters (DO NOT COUNT) from across the quarter-decade history of ZIM. All of these lil’ guys were originally designed by either creator Jhonen Vasquez, me, John Fountain, Warren Wucinich, or some unholy combination thereof.

For your convenience…

If you’re sincerely “impressed” with what generative #AI can “do,” then you have no appreciation for what the human mind is capable of. And I can’t respect that.

Just finished making my daughter Gypsy’s 10 year commemorative “portrait.”

I got to design the titular character for this animation with Fountain's Pen Productions! Was an absolute blast creating this frantic Turkey! And of course big shoutouts to F for the original concept and the team who brought the animation to life! #CharacterDesign #IndieAnimation

Hey, #InvaderZim fans… I almost NEVER do this kinda stuff, but Rikki Simons - THE VOICE OF GIR(!) - is in a financial jam… He had to have heart surgery earlier this year and that kinda stuff will wipe anybody out. Link in replies to his fund… reposts greatly appreciated.

Ugh. I hate doing these, but I gotta fix a jam that I can’t seem to own jam on my own. www.gofundme.com/f/help-rikki...

Thanks to @animenewsnetwork.com for including goofy ol’ me in with these powerhouse talents!

Officially AVAILABLE FOR WORK. Illustration, comics, character design, light murder, whatever. If you've got a project in need of my hideous hands and brain, let me know at [email protected]. Thank you!

Okay, so - since more than a few people have suggested it, so I’ve set up an account for anyone who would like to contribute to my daughter’s artistic journey 😁 (Details and link in replies)

I don’t wanna be “that guy” but wow is this promo art shitty. I’m inclined to think it’s #AI generated, but if a person did this they should be embarrassed.

Sad #AI “artists” in a nutshell: “LOOKA MEE EVVYBUDDY! UH KIN DRAWL STUFFS GUD!!!” #NoToGenerativeAI

At Fountain’s Pen Productions we aspire to break the cycle of dissatisfaction in the animation sphere. We’re not just creating #IndieAnimation as a vanity project with one style (nothing at all wrong with that, btw)…

If you’re following me, you really should be following @fpencartoons.bsky.social

Well that’s not very funny… #animation #art #cartoons #drawing #clowns
