Although Jorge Gutierrez did say he’s dropping out of the AI project, I’m still going to keep a close eye bc the AI switch was flipped on and off so fast, it makes me think that for the right price, it can happen again

I haven’t worked in a while in animation and shifted to working in advertisement, but I still work with very creative individuals. I also constantly see these creative individuals sell out for AI and essentially make a cheap ass phony looking project. It’s sad how fast that AI switch is flipped

At this point I’m not only disappointed but also sadden that this may be a huge turning point in the animation industry that may take a very long time to reverse

IS IT HAPPENING???!?

To the recruiters for the jobs I’ve been applying to in LA and Canada and may be looking at my socials: yes, I applied for a role even though I’m in Florida. I would like to leave by next summer right after I graduate from my masters and before the midterm election. Please take a chance on me :)

Daydreamers #KnightsofGuinevere

The pilot for Knights of Guinevere is out and it’s absolutely fantastic and beautiful!!!🤩✨ Congrats to the cast and crew!!!

I’ve drawn so much knights of Guinevere but I’ll post it tomorrow bc I’m on a roll and I just stopped to take a break to get tea lmao

Some hand sheets I made for the animation team! I looked at how Dana drew hands a lot and coupled it with my own anatomical knowledge of hands. #KnightsOfGuinevere

And here's the vignettes! These costumes were so fun to design 🥳

The crew of Knights of Guinevere: Y’all blew this out of the park!!! It was absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to see what y’all do next!!! Cheers on an absolutely amazing pilot!!

Mostly my character sheets have gotten an upgrade (I need to draw more Spirit Guides again)

My friend texted me to redownload Twitter…

when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe

If anyone is at the Pokémon worlds championship and have Pokémon go apparently there’s a Eternamax Eternatus max battle and I’ve got a remote raid pass so please invite me :)

Happy #IndieAnimationDay everyone! I started working on Spirit Guides during my undergrad as a mini concept to build portfolio pieces and eventually it developed into this musical animatic! I hope to share with y’all more Spirit Guides stuff soon! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhBR...

Apparently Adobe popped to Bluesky like a flower in Spring. And then ended like that.

Adobe situation was pretty funny

Nothing like doing a research paper for my masters and having to scramble how to make the sources I had at the beginning of the year usable be cause they were from government websites and now some of the are GONE bc of the new administration 🙃😭

I’m currently binge watching the new moon girl and Devil dinosaur episodes and they’re frickn fantastic 🤩 the crew did an awesome job!!!

Hourly comic day post! (I know I’m late but I’ve been busy the past two days and I finally had time to clean up the thumbnails I made Saturday night)

So update: I ran and finished the marathon! My knee did give out at mile 14 and my dad also pulled a muscle at mile 15 but we switched to an easier interval and walked a bit but we finished!

A comic about how I’ve been out of work for two years in the animation industry:

Guess who messed up their knee the weekend before running a marathon 🥲

The things I do in between classes of my masters program

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.
