Finally got to see a very special band that helped me through some hard times. Hearing Cartel’s Chroma front to back live was just as good as the album recordin. I also caught one of Nic’s guitar pics and even shook Will’s hand!!!

Jesus, save us from our sins

"Do a kick- No, do a somersault!"

Wtf did I just stumble upon t.co/nVQhQLtfMX

If you're at @otakon.bsky.social join us at the AnimEigo panel tomorrow! 2pm in panel room 3! New licenses & future plans! We'll also be posting the news to social media for those who can't make it!

creative industries as a whole have a class problem. you generally have to: ✨afford to be able to work for free to get initial experience ✨not have caring/financial responsibilities that might prevent you from opportunities ✨generally have some support system for insecurity/redundancy risks

You can tell Lazarus is incredibly fictional because it imagines a US with a female president.

Crazy how much easier freelance work becomes when I’m fueled by 3 cups of coffee

Please donate or share if you can. Jordan is a dear friend, and his partner Mitzi was first diagnosed with breast cancer around the same time that I was. It was devastating to learn that hers came back like this, and I hope modern medicine can give her as much time as possible.

Wishes granted! Dragon Ball is once again back on Toonami with its newest incarnation Daima!

John O'Donnell part 2... with some REAL sharp edged history, posting at 6am PT/9am ET! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf11...

Hay all, an incredibly polished fan project called "BIONICLE: Masks of Power" was cancelled by LEGO today despite closely following their fan project guidelines for the past 8 years. I'm running a petition to persuade LEGO to release the current demo, and I could use your help: chng.it/9JWhkPNZPp

Finally landed some graphic design work!! Usually I'm hired out for videography/animation but design is something I've been dying to get more experience at. Anyways here's a sick shinespark I pulled off in Metroid Fusion this week:

Had a very friendly coffee meeting today with an old client that turned into a brainstorming session on 3 new projects. As an introvert, it’s mindblowing to me that all it takes is the initiative to socialize and be imperfect.

The key to a solid anime trailer is always the music... and the latest one for #nobodysboyremi from @animeigo.com has definitely got my number: youtu.be/JNOHVaVIdko?...

Finally learned this neat trick that lets you create 3D exrruded objects from 2D vector layers natively in #aftereffects! I used to spend 30 minutes at a time importing #illustrator files into #C4D and then exporting to AE.

Friends! Today is my birthday, & also the launch of the Speedcicleta boardgame Kickstarter campaign! I did several art pieces for the game AND DESIGNED A PLUSH MOOSE CYCLIST for the campaign! I'd love if you could share this and consider backing- this is a very special project!❤️ kck.st/42d8hqJ

Fuckin hate #AdobePremiere, my PC is running ice cold and the software UI can't keep up with my keyboard shortcuts and timeline scrubbing. Seriously this client project would only take 10 minutes to edit instead of 30 if Premiere just fuckin WORKED

Sent in my job application to Costco today. If I get this job, then I can officially say I worked at both the greats, this and Sam’s Club. Although that only lasted two weeks. Ahh, the life of a video editor!

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but: If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present. Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

Congratulations to @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social on your historic #Oscar win. It was an honor and a delight to have spoken with you.

As a longtime MCU fan, Captain America: Brave New World delivers on fun action tied with light espionage and implements several Cap story elements: super serums, Hydra brainwashing, Red Room agents and Avengers-related politics. If you love Marvel movies, definitely go see this one.

I just drove 12 hours from Texas to Arizona and I’m watching my gf and her brother blast shoujo anime OPs on their TV. It is midnight and I am desperately clinging to consciousness, help me.

Another halftime show, another argument with my dad over how rap is in fact real music, and that many Americans love listening to it. Rap is not my cup of tea, but I have respect for the genre and Kendrick. Just bc you dislike the show doesn’t mean it’s a waste of time.

ALAS, I AM RETURNED TO BE GRANTED AUDIENCE AT bsky.app/profile/mirabeaustudios.bsky.social ONCE MORE

Nothing. I don’t need another Mario Kart. Give me back F-Zero

Ran a mile today, counted calories and doing laundry rn. Substituted soda with S.Pellegrino, picked up drawing again and taking my time with it. Finally getting back to a balanced lifestyle.

Jumping straight from using Premiere for editing an AMV to Python to write a script for managing my expenses is some serious whiplash…

So, I made an AMV. My very first one, and not just any AMV. It’s an Animegraphy. 191 anime titles from 2024 in 6 1/2 minutes. Hope ya’ll enjoy. This took 120 hours in 6 weeks to make. #anime #amv #2024 youtu.be/bNkxLMDVSlE?...

This shit is gonna make me mad for a while but this is the one time I’ll say it: The Switch is not going anywhere. Its library is HUGE. The Switch 2 is just hardware, no need to get excited until exclusive software is announced for it.

Am genuinely more excited for a Lego Gameboy than the Switch 2

After 6 1/2 years, I’ve finally beaten Legend of Zelda: BOTW. All 120 shrines found, all heart containers and stamina wheels obtained. Endgame outfit acquired.

I am so sick of website templates like Wordpress, Squarespace, Wix etc. You have to pay them monthly fees to edit your own goddamn site. And some won’t even let you access the HTML/CSS manually. Fuck this, I’m going back to the world of Bootstrap, React.js and Github. Pray for me.

Years of being a workaholic have led me to constant stress-eating, or just eating out of boredom. Going to make a conscious effort to replace eating with drawing or reading this year.

I just went to Best Buy and had the manager search their entire store for a 4TB m.2 SSD. As he scanned it I held up my phone and asked if he could price match Amazon for $100 off. The manager inspected my phone and went, “… shit, okay yeah we can do that.” Then in my other hand I held up…

I’m currently so hammered on Mike’s Hard Lemonades that I almost wished someone a Happy Birthday. Happy New Year’s Eve ya’ll!

Back in AX 2023 I attended a Studio Trigger Q&A panel with a friend who does ML for a living. One fan asked if Trigger had considered implementing generative AI in their future work. Sushio replied that frankly, it would just be faster for him to draw then figure out how to use AI tools…

Boston Dynamics literally created the dog from Fahrenheit 451. Dystopian fiction simply inspires evil corpos now.

Finally finished all my client work for the year. Can’t wait to watch TV and edit AMVs for the rest of the year ✌️

Up at 2am working on a client project so I can spend time with loved ones during the day and #AfterEffecrs randomly quits like the cocksucking software it is, losing me an hour of work. I pray for an industry replacement to this devil spawn program ASAP

About to see War of the Rohirrim!! #lordoftherings #anime @clarknova.bsky.social

New @animeigo.com disc opening, making its debut on Bubblegum Crisis. Animation by @andrewhabara.bsky.social music by @kitsunelaine.bsky.social

Well that’s not surprising. Was honestly a huge bummer when Wordpress stopped supporting it, but now it’s just par for the course.
