Hey Internet! I and a handful of others were laid off today, so I'll be looking for whatever animation work exists out there. I've got 20+ years of experience, so hit me up if you need that on your teams! www.youtube.com/watch?v=THxQ... Also other people were impacted. Can provide many roles!

Magfest approaches again, here is what I'm up to this year: It's gonna be a wild time!

2025 was quite a year for me- But despite it all I was viciously productive- to the point of overkill. A day job in animation that has become *extremely* unfulfilling for a variety of reasons, and between that, Trump's nonsense, and AI all over, I constantly threw myself at projects. What a year!

man, fuck AI fuck AI for making us distrust everything fuck AI for giving us worse services at higher prices fuck AI for using our water sources fuck AI for taking our jobs

The link for the AI transparency hearing yesterday at Stanford is now online: www.senate.ca.gov/media/joint-...

At Stanford for a hearing on AI regulation Everybody here says this is WAY more people than have ever showed up at a hearing before (this is 1/3rd of the turnout) Good job, artists

Chip For Change: Tenacity is out! 18 brand spanking new #chiptune bangers from a crazygood roster of artists! All proceeds go to the ACLU! The album is pay what you want, so even if you can't donate, please, enjoy the tunes! BANDCAMP: bitcrushed.bandcamp.com/album/chip-f... #musicsky #musiciansky

www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ebu... Speed Freeks is actually adding a create your own track mode to the game and it is incredible how good it is. These devs did this as a pure labor of love for the people who supported it, and it could use a LOT more support! if ever you were curious check this out.

Was a great privilege for me to be a part of a chip album that is trying to make the world a better place. I wanted to go very differently for this one, but one of the heavy influences was Studio Trigger's stuff. High energy vibrancy against the darkness.

@dompalombimusic.bsky.social 's PAX West set is now online: youtu.be/CmEEiCYuQ_Y?... Was a great weekend! There are some serious deep cuts in this set, like the Pokemon Trading Card game for the gameboy. I'm pretty sure that one has never been played live by anyone!

I made this for the first No Kings rally So now is a good a time as any to post it again. If you're in America, show up to make a statement.

Absolutely preach it. Caveat on my end: I still won't touch it, but I am FORCED to interact with everyone who do. I've been trying to experiment with how much I can tolerate that and so far the answer is.. Not much. Anytime I work with people who also refuse to use it, it's a breath of fresh air.

Seeya at Pax West! 🤘

My friend and I couldn't stop staring at this and we just kept finding more and more errors. Which I think is hilarious because the backwards monitor isn't even where it ends. Way to go, Principal Dev Lead of MICROSOFT.

7/3/25- Death of Liberty OBBB funds ICE more than entire countries. So they can attack everyone, and put them into concentration camps they are building. Funded by ripping away our healthcare to do it. The America that received this statue and this quote, is dead. We need to fight for a new one.

9000 layoffs today from microsoft. Still waiting for AI to "make new jobs" still waiting for the trickle down effect. still waiting for their 75 billion dollar activision merger to benefit people other than the execs already making millions. This nonsense is why regulations are always necessary.

These are the weak points. You know what to do. First thing tomorrow, use 5calls.org and raise hell.

Trump's Tax Scam is a disaster. We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/reso... And when their voicemails fill up, use this tool to send an email: act.indivisible.org/...

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...

The US ban on state AI regulation may be voted on in the senate very soon. If you live in one of these states - FL, MO, TX, TN, WI, AK, ME - please call your senators & ask them to remove the "state AI regulation ban" in the budget reconciliation bill NOW! Link to call & what to say in next post 1/

This is fucked. And before this, Noem said: "We are not going away," she said. "We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into this city."

In the middle of all the terrible news all the time, this is a breath of fresh air. I'm not sure why they only target Midjourney, but it's a start. Burn them to the ground. www.reuters.com/business/med...

6/10/25- No Kings June 14th. No Kings. Not now, or ever.

Tonite at 9pm ET, we're gonna be joined by the awesome humans that helped make ROBOT PROM to chat about BTS! 👁👁 Twitch.tv/BonusStageVan @bonusstagevan.bsky.social Awesome humans: @gtx.bsky.social @lightningarts.bsky.social @emfedex.bsky.social

6/2/25- Ai is great though Just, you know, ignore basically everything about it.

5/29/25- Comin' Through Been awhile since I posted any art, huh? Well thats because I've been absolutely buried in projects. But today I had a small breather, so I decided to do my own thing again. The projects- and these personal paintings now and again, will continue!

Saw a trend going posting old work to new 1998 - 2022 (have done less character stuff the past few years) Fuck 🖕 AI YOU can be a better artist. Just try.

Martin will never have to worry about his job being taken by AI, because not even other HUMANS can do this madness.

After many months, this is finally up! One of the wildest things I've worked on. a 2.5ish hour rock Opera for @cybertronicspree.bsky.social - tag teaming it with @gtx.bsky.social because 2.5 hours of music in a month is unreasonable haha! But this has it all. It's one hell of a ride!

This game I've been helping off and on for 2 years, released today It's Twisted metal + Warhammer Orks basically: store.steampowered.com/app/2078450/... It's been in early access for awhile but finally it's "version 1.0" Hop in and go blow some shit up!

This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

the Marathon alpha released recently and its environments are covered with assets lifted from poster designs i made in 2017. @bungie.net @marathonthegame.bungie.net

Hi new followers! I tend to post art (when I have time to make it), Sometimes animation (when I'm allowed) and rail against AI the rest of the time. Occasionally other things, but thats mostly it. None of those today, so for now, enjoy this photo of my assistant.

Update: The TERRIBLE 10-Year Ban on State AI Regulations advanced House Committee. What does this mean? It means we BLAST the HELL out of their phones! Call your House Members AND Senators today! Called a few days ago? Call again! Tell them NO on 10-year State AI Regulation Ban! (Info in thread)

There is a ton of horrible shit going on with the US gov these days, but if you are a creator or even enjoy creative works, this one is very important to pay attention to

Over the weekend the Head of the Copyright Office was fired by Trump. THIS is why. They rejected the fair use defense of AI companies. Page 51. Share it.: www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright... R's are also pushing to stop ANY AI regulation for 10 YEARS: www.404media.co/republicans-... It's panic.

If you ever wondered why I became an artist, it was became of my mother. And also she became an artist because I- as a small kid, asked her to draw Garfield for me once. It's been quite a journey since. Happy mother's day to all those out there taking their kids through whatever journey they're on.

youtu.be/kQ453oE_d0w?... Super MadNES news: the video I made for the TMNT track called "Fire!" from the arcade game, has released! I went wild with it. Downloaded Aesprite and did some first ever pixel art animation. Was a lot of fun. For this album release: supermadnes.bandcamp.com/album/defend...

Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

If you use GenAI, you’re not welcome here #NoAI

Discord filled the hole that things like AIM and message boards dying off, left. So now one wonders what is going to fill the hole discord leaves. Because fuck this in advance. "..beyond its core consumer subscription service, including advertising, microtransactions"

It didn't used to feel like a high bar to work on a game where you both: 1. actually make the fucking thing 2. fucking play it yourself But in the last few years the places I've worked at and the advent of AI obsession have made that a nightmare. I want off this ride.

Another phone animation with a 2hr leg back to SF from VGM Con. Decided to lean into the phone difficulty and just make it messy as hell. Still fun!

Made this little animation over my mag and then vgm con flights - on my phone, because some technology is still very cool (even if phone drawing is very hard!)

Never fucking empower a narcissist. When a narcissist does something out of line and you let them believe that was THE RIGHT thing and you were wrong, you are giving those people a dangerous amount of power- and they will wield that power.. on OTHER people. Even if you escape, no one else will.

It is 2002. I am 18 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2008. I am 24 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2020. I am 36 years old. We are in a once-in-a-generation economic crisis. It is 2025. I am 41 years old. We are in a—

A running crowdsourced list (because no official accountability or read release) of all the CDC, FDA, and HHS teams laid off today. Thousands. Republicans are a fucking death cult. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Finally got some time to cut together a new demo reel for 2024. There isn't much that new though because most of 2024 was either canceled projects or things still under NDA. 2025 will have more though. youtu.be/THxQqJZlN4c

Night fall on New Year’s Eve. #folkart #sciart #digitalart
