I started hourly comics day but then i gave up because I decided I’d rather go paint the flowers growing on my balcony in my sketchbook instead And then it got cold real fast and i had to rush back inside and now i don’t want to move from under my blanket!!

Every time the winter olympics rolls out again, I remember that they don’t shoot WHILE skiing in the biathlon and I’m disappointed all over again

if we want cooler olympics uniforms maybe we should be a cooler country that prioritizes the arts in any way

Poppin on my art director hat even tho it’s after 6pm on a Friday to share what I consider a nugget of wisdom with you all

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

Real fire, miniature sets, and obsessive craftsmanship. BBC Creative’s Trails Will Blaze pushes stop motion into risky territory, using practical combustion instead of simulated flames to bring the Winter Olympics 2026 campaign to life. stopmotionmagazine.com/bbc-trails-w...

if you want to immediately lose the respect of your peers as a director or lead in animation, using/posting/supporting the use of generative AI in any way is a surefire way to accomplish that. you are scum and should be treated as a scab.

For my birthday Craig got me a leather notebook cover workshop for us to take and tonight we got to go make them!!!

I am really pleased that I’m not being forced to use a huge clunky company cintiq that takes up half my desk for this job and can use my little huion instead I love this thing, it was an excellent purchase ( And its pink 🩷 )

"Haunted" #IceOut #IceOutComics

I just won a contest where I get tea for a year and I am SO EXCITED TO DRINK! SO! MUCH! TEA!

Is it bad if your stock is down almost 40% over a year despite quadrupling down on AI during a stock market bubble?

Craig got me a present of this pokemon card i wanted! IT’S SO CUTE!! I don’t play the card game but i like to collect the cards i like the art of

Giving www.cosmos.so a try today

Remember that even if you do end up drawing them today, you can post them next week!

Found a photo of this old papercut illustration I did of Azula from Avatar the last Airbender, I think for an art zine I probably spent two hours trying to get the sparklers to photograph the way I wanted to with the long exposure on my camera but love how it turned out

Anybody got any good recipes tjay use aquafaba? I got some in the fridge i gotta use up fast. I already made excellent banana bread

I finished my first week back at work good job me 💪🏼

Catherine O'Hara really was such an incredible talent, we were lucky to get to witness it youtu.be/QwLZfPPM7GQ?...

As others have said: Darren Aranofsky spent most of his career lifting from Satoishi Kon, but now that Kon is dead, he’s decided to steal from even more artists all at the same time by using this gen ai grifter bs for his shitty movies

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine

Sandwiches - Fred Penner The first day of spring - The Gandharvas Razorblades and Bandaides - Econline Crush Hallways - Islands In the morning - Junior Boys

Going through a lot of portfolios this week and i am BEGGING people: Put ON THE IMAGE what you did. Did you design the character? Or only do the turn around. Did you design the background? Or only paint it? Or do prod bgs based off the key? I’m not a detective! I’m just an art director!

I’ve also never willingly or knowingly used it and i never will 🤷🏻‍♀️ Getting along super without it

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED! It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st! hourlycomicsday.com #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday #hcd

Craig started playing Expedition33 tonight and i gotta say i was not expecting the opening of this game to be ‘rpatz fucks up an off duty mime’

Wonder how people in mt pleasant would feel to know that a company working in their neighbourhood is working with ICE to deport and detain and abuse and kill

Me busting through the door to my new job on Monday: *AFTER SEVEN LONG YEARS, FINALLY! THE ROSE! HAS COME BACK!*

@hospitalvespers.bsky.social made this for me for my birthday and I could hardly take this photo because I was laughing so much I LOVE HIM

Blinkmoon is a SCAM studio that says they're in Vancouver. Their website is polished, they have a list of exciting credits and a game demo. But they don't have any info on the founders, and the blinkmoon name isn't actually credited on any projects they says they've worked on. Be careful out there

Absolutely love seeing this protest hat as a the top pattern on Ravely right now www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the LynLake community of businesses who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE.

Not only did I re find @sam-webster.bsky.social on bsky today but I also see there is a new sountrack by him I get to listen to?? A GOOD DAY!

Ok but ALSO! This is another excellent one from The Fuma Conspiracy Lupin the third has had some excellent car chases over the series!!!

I love wrestling

Quality performance art. Easy to parse, thematically relevant, kinda gross. Love it.

For CBC Arts, I wrote about why I think Canada needs to revel in the beauty of its weirdest impulses www.cbc.ca/arts/canadia...

Today I hung up my birthday present from my nephew above my desk 💜

Capitalist bébé

On day 52 of Blue Prince and we just figured out this stupid kid can run. We’ve been slow walking THIS ENTIRE TIME

I beat Pokemon ZA last night and the thing that sticks with me the most from that game is i just don’t understand why they had to give dog zygarde a glowing butthole and glowing nipples I just wanted a pokemon dog friend who isnt always reminding me about its glowing butthole!!!

Wehhh I had to undo all my split hem knitted ribbing because it wasn’t centred and I didn’t notice till I fully did one side 😭

I have no idea if this will ever come out, but I LOVED participating in this reanimate project! Does anyone have any advice on how to find more? It was such a fun little challenge/diversion. I want to apply to others!

Keeping a notebook of drawings and clues and stuff for Blue Prince is really making me feel like armchair Nathan drake over here 🔎📝

As someone who has crocheted for a few years and just learned to knit, I was told that knitting uses less yarn. Ok but FOR REAL it uses so much less? This rules

We’re ‘Blue Prince’ and this game is exactly like Firewatch in that there is nothing that out right says someone is going to jump out and attack me in this game but I still feel like it’s gonna happen 99% of the time and the idea is more stressful than anything that will actually happen

We saw Lupin III Immortal bloodline and it was exactly what I expected from another Koike film. We had fun and Jigen looked cool and I ate popcorn so I am happy!

I’ve been pretty sick with a bad cold for the past week and it was very easy to relax while I was on vacation in Ontario but now that I’m home the guilt of not doing all the ‘stuff’ I think I ‘should’ be doing is giving me psychic damage
