building a new cast for a new thing

been burning through the Dungeon Crawler Carl books so dang fun

how can i love so much a game that hates me

Drawing for fun on procreate is the best way I know to recharge my creative energy. Been a while!

Muito orgulho do meu Brasil hoje 💖

Been a while since I posted any art. Yikes! Between writing for work and raising an actual, real baby, I haven’t had a lot of time left. But here’s an idea I had!

Yup.

Playing Death Stranding 2 with a baby strapped to me for the ultimate immersive experience

Sad to see Elio join the ranks of Treasure Planet, Titan AE, Lightyear and Strange World as another family animated sci fi flop. As someone who always loved sci fi over fantasy, I’m always rooting for one of these to be a smash.

Huh. The top 2 most critically successful Netflix original movies are non-IP based animated features. HUH, I say. 👏👏MAKE MORE ORIGINAL ANIMATED MOVIES👏👏 (On a side note, Sony Pictures Animation just killing it out there)

I love my son, but very rude of him being born just as 28 Years Later is about to open in theaters.

something pretty weird happened this week!

Linda Linda Linda is a longtime favorite movie, and I’m so happy I get to get meals a shiny 4K copy of it. GKids again doing gods work. 💙💙💙

Imagine spending HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars for over a decade and, other than remakes and reboots of things you didn’t create, all you have to show for with any cultural relevance is Squid Games and Stranger Things.

Why is Fountain of Youth?

A piece that asks the question “what if animation was 90% cheaper” and uses as its ONLY example an AI animated YouTube series that already looks cheap as hell. Like, 95% cheaper than any professional production I’ve ever seen. With AI, you get what you paid for.

Me reading the article: Is it faith-based? Is it faaaaaithhh-baaased? Is it…? Yup.

i have a new idea for a show, hear me out

What a shame that a good show, that employs an entire crew of great artisans to make, has been soured for me by its AI-loving star. Mrs Lyonne should have more respect for all the people that make her look good on screen, and use her position of power to help them instead of undermining their work.

This thread 👇 Same reason why visual artists and writers are sometimes expected to do a TON of work for free, especially in development. This is our labour. Ask a surgeon to operate on you for free, and see what they say. Or a baker, to give you free bread before you can decide if you like bread.

Hey! I also do adult animation designs! These are just from the last few years, on various projects I’ve developed with Mark & various studios. Need some designs for your adult development? Hit me up!

Jason Mantzoukas being in the new season of Taskmaster is the joyful respite from this hellish world that we all deserve. I hope this season is 500 episodes long.

the project board of someone who is either resilient or delusional

So sad about Polygon. For years it's been my daily morning check in. I can't count how many books, games, TV shows I've discovered thanks to their team of amazing writers. Another victim of this horrible corporate culture we live in now, which has affected animation as well. My heart goes to team.

HUGE BOOOOOO to Natasha Lyonne for making a push for GenAI crap Not only she started an AI company, she's making a GenAI feature & bringing in a "skeptic" to convince people it's good When you have a ton of money, you don't have to worry about ALL the artists that could've had jobs in your project

last heroes done! 54! now time to do equipment cards

Sinners invites a new bold business idea. What if people want to see movies because they like them and not due to a pavlovian response to being 12 years old once!?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR) PS: I actually never watched any SW, ST or LOTR more than six times ever.

Not to be THAT GUY, but Naked Gun is a real comedy landmark for me. So...I'll be THAT GUY. The first joke in the new NG trailer 100% misses what made the original funny. It shows a little girl scout MAGICALLY transforming into Liam Neeson. It breaks reality completely, & it's way too cartoony. 0/10

There are only two kinds of movies. Ones starring Jack Black, and ones starring Pedro Pascal.

more and more card game heroes they cannot be stopped

Not gonna post the picture of that absolute ghoul who's also a kid book author. But it's time to stop separating the art from the artist there. Don't patronize the wizarding world of anything. WB shouldn't, nobody should. Send a message loud and clear in her residuals checks that this is NOT OK.

more heroes entering my card game arena! 36 and counting!

first card study for my game! woo!

another day, another 6 card game heroes (which I’ll self-publish at some point and it will costs me 5,000 dollars a copy, the way things are going….)

The amount of “looking for work” posts here, all by insanely talented folks, makes me extremely sad for the state of our industry. How can all these studios turn their back on all the people who built their brands? Know that not greenlighting any shows is a conscious stab on all these artists.

more card game heroes!

Very happy for the Minecraft movie hitting big. Sure, it’s another IP grab, but at least it’s a “newer” IP that’s genuinely targeted to the kids and teens that love Minecraft. It’s not some 80s property being zombie-revived by a bunch of 40/50 yr old dudes that ends up being for no one at all.

more card game characters (feat. Banana!)

This. Exactly this. Been saying for years now that the tech company mentality has fundamentally broken entertainment. They all followed the big red N, spent way more money than they could ever make back, and they all fell flat on their butts.

bugs and people and pets

more card game character studies!

Who would’ve thought that the Switch 2 killer app would be a DK game? Not a-me! This thing looks absolutely incredible. The expressions and the animation are just 🤌🤌🤌

studies for a card game project

I will never understand why anyone who’s not a billionaire tech mogul would celebrate AI-generated things and be against real artists making art.

new book halfway through the first draft! this one I'm writing with an exciting, crazy talented partner and I cannot wait to see it fully finished! here's a sneaky peaky...

This is great news for all animation-dom! The other day I wondered what would happen if this was a live action show. I think: 1) it would be WAY less interesting, distinctive, moody and beautiful. Just a less great show 2) BUT it would have SEVERANCE levels of mad buzz from the internet about it

I have an online celebrity, living a life of forever escalating bets with desperate humans, and if he survives 100 years without despising himself completely he gets his $oul back.

Total cinema 🇧🇷
