pretend i actually posted this on star trek day

Fascinating thread on 1970s-80s animation methods, techniques, & materials

DROIDS (1985) and another happy 40th to droids, whose main title seems to be fully custom (or at least based on a font i've never found), but whose subtitle is GROTESQUE NO. 9 ITALIC (with LUCASFILM being set in what looks like NEWS GOTHIC with numbers from AKZIDENZ-GROTESK)

EWOKS (1985) happy 40th to the animated ewoks, whose title is set in a slightly altered PUTTY BOLD (with LUCASFILM being set in FUTURA BOOK)

i messed up and identified some star trek fonts by accident. @starfleetdesign.bsky.social was kind enough to not yell at me and tell me to stay in my lane

@wilwheaton.net Glad to find you are on this thing! Missed you since the twitter days. We’ve never interacted before, but always liked what you had to say. Hope you and yours are well.

Will have to try this method out

I don't know why not. But I've never seen anyone post the animated Star Trek SNW OP with the musical acapella OP. Seems like the logical fit.🖖

Just waiting for the Watto/Shitto fanfic

Good thread.

Want to draw rooms but don't want to learn perspective? You need a 3D program like Blender. Don't want to learn a 3D program? Ikea got your back. Go to the ikea room planner page. Choose what room you want, kitchen, dining room, office, etc Then make a room...

What perfect album came out when you were 16?

DRINK UP !!!

In regards to J.K. Rowling— I knew something was up with her, all the way back in the first book, when Dumbledore gave those bullshit points to Gryffindor when Slytherin won, fair and square

I love Tubi. It has most, if not all, of everything I want to watch. I don’t talk about it much, because good things are always ruined when the money notices, but this is honestly very good news that needs sharing

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

I’ve always been one of those grumpy dust bunnies about art, but lately I’m thinking that’s a mistake. I love craft, and I always will, but I see now there’s something to be said for just knocking something out and getting by on enthusiasm

@goddammitsarah.bsky.social I’m not sure what I said or did to earn a follow, but thank you!

Last night, I stumbled onto this reference website that I'd never heard of before, and am blown away by its quality. Highly, highly recommended. www.dimensions.com

Self-publishing is a power, it's a gift. You can put whatever you want into your little 'zines and minicomics, absolutely nobody can tell you no. Tell your story, don't worry if it's "good enough", make it anyway.

Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are. This book, which I read for the first time when I was thirteen, maybe twelve. It’s a short book, easy to read in one or two sittings. The trouble is, I did just that, many, many, many times.

@thejoedante.bsky.social Joe, do you ever just browse through this thing? I imagine you follow movie accounts, but is there anything else on here that catches your fancy—artists, cartoonists, professional opinion havers? Just curious.

Robert Crumb has a new book coming out, first one he’s done in 20 years. It’s titled Tales Of Paranoia, published by Fantagraphics. Honestly, I thought he was done with comics. This preview shows his art skills are as sharp as ever. I have mixed feelings about the man, but I must admit, I’m curious.

“Please read this,” I say, as I hand 18 year old me a spiral notebook outlining how it’s not his fault his mom is a narcissist, how he needs to leave Alabama and get as far away from it as he can asap, how he should not fall for the Art Institute scam, and many, many other useful bits of info

Post a random picture or everything will go bad in August

Here’s four more, just because. If you younglings ever get tired of superheroes and manga, dig into comics of the late ‘70s - early ‘80s. There is weird, wild, wonderful treasure there.

Don’t overthink it, what comics pages/panels live in your head, rent free? Drop four and tag it #comicsdna Clearly, I was not reading the same comics everyone else was at an impressionable age

Post a heartwarming screenshot from Star Trek. Well, clearly this is a candid behind the scenes kind of thing, but it makes me smile.

Going through some archives, found a three page story I did, a long time ago. I still like it.

If you see this, post a redhead.

Setting aside the ethical and environmental concerns of AI, I'm really offended by a bunch of elite dudes telling us our minds aren't good enough when they've had to steal everything human minds have created to create their pretend mind and it doesn't even work right!

If you’re a fossil like me, your first comics were the furthest thing from superheroes: a plastic bag full of six comic books, bought from a Woolco for a dollar, with titles like Grimm’s Ghost Stories, Tales Of Mystery, Magnus, Robot Fighter, Turok, Son of Stone. Gold Key Comics, good times.

@benstiller.redhour.com I’m sure people tell you this all the time, but you really won the lottery with your parents. Glad they raised you, and were in your life. I know, stupid weird internet comment, but I saw an ad for a documentary about them. My folks would just be a true crime podcast.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

he’s biting the heads off angels now

Yes, I am actually sitting here crying about the guy who (accidentally) bit the head off a bat, thinking it was a toy, while performing on stage. God damn it. I liked him. He was a real one. I’ll miss you, Ozzy.

Here it is!! The Star Trek Animated Intro I did 15 years ago, resized and spruced up in 1080p!! But because of the max size here, it's only 720p.

See tits, post tits.
