Do I have any voice actor connections that would be interested in helping a high school journo class with an article? A friend’s student is writing about Amazon’s disastrous AI dubs and wants some quotes from pro voice actors to get their feelings on it. Any help would be great! Thanks ya’ll!

TIL Sandy Frank is 96 and still alive.

Roger Allers, the co-director of ‘The Lion King’ and ‘Open Season’, has sadly passed away at the age of 76. He also directed The Prophet, the Oscar-nominated The Little Matchgirl, was a storyboard artist on The Little Mermaid, Head of Story on Beauty and the Beast and more.

GENERAL STRIKE CALLED FOR JAN 23rd IN MINNEAPOLIS BY AFL-CIO THE GOOD TACTICS RETURN

The brilliant thing about Gavin Newsom isn’t that he’ll cave to whatever political ideology is presently in front of him. It’s that he genuinely believes people will vote for him. We might be witness to one of the worst presidential bids in our lifetime and I cannot wait to watch him eat shit.

Live on YouTube animating in grease pencil some more. I don't get to have the red live icon because YouTube is not supported yet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkll...

what the f is Streamplace?

I'll stream some more animation either later today or sometime this weekend but not right now. Lip synch is boring.

Yeah im never voting for fucking newsom, yall can eat my dick about it.

Just remembering that there was a Happy Gilmore sequel last year that made me laugh a lot and I really enjoyed then immediately forgot about.

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

The whole medium has gotten way too hetero.

I have had difficulty getting my testosterone prescription every single time I've had to pick it up in the last year or so x___x Is this a politics thing, a shortage thing, a prescription thing?? Wtf is going on. I'm so mad lol. Anyone else having difficulties??

I swear the only way to get an original animated series off the ground these days is to have written for Rick and Morty. Other than that, I’m just glad that there are jobs for people.

Wow, J-pop really had an opportunity to be a global phenomenon but they just let K-pop eat their lunch.

Bandcamp bans AI music

Dang, huge Bandcamp W on AI policy. Good things can still happen when your parent company is a union busting piece of crap. [image with alt text]

Friend was venting a bit about struggling with "moot perception" and I think in 2026 some of you need to regain control and agency of your spaces. Having the "what will my followers think" mindset is self-harming. It's your account, with your rules, and every follower is a guest. Don't forget that.

The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at: cartoonist.coop/hiveworks-gu...

This is a pretty common one, but Don't treat your fellow artists like competition. Not only is it just awesome getting to participate in art communities, but people are more likely to throw jobs your way if they think you would do the same for them 🤝

RIP Guy Moon, the composer for several series, including Fairly OddParents (and the rest of Butch Hartman's work), 2 Stupid Dogs, Cow and Chicken, Ned's Declassified, Big Time Rush, Back in the Barnyard, and many more. He was 63 years old.

Bluesky admin has let a lot of people and groups down. Casey being dismissed after being such a proponent for the platform is an inexcusable as anything When I tell people to get off Twitter, it is not with the intention of telling them come here instead Find a platform that makes you feel secure.

I wanted to go to ALA this weekend, but I’ve been sick since Tuesday. I haven’t been to that con since before COVID. I’d really like to start going to small local conventions again.

Drew Mario and Luigi from memory. How'd I do?

At what point in history did we decide that law enforcement was a job for dumb guys? Because it really shouldn’t be.

Reposting my FREE paper texture pack on here! It contains 16 high res files (scans of my art paper/sketchbooks) and can be downloaded from my kofi! ✨ ko-fi.com/s/acff7a1bd2 ✨ They're all free to use in both personal and commercial projects 💖

They’ve called it the Riley Gaines Industrial Complex, but it really started with Kyle Rittenhouse. All he did was get scared and kill two people, but since conservatives really want to kill people and get away with it, he got elevated to right wing figurehead overnight. He’s not even an activist.

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that “Twitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves “Iowa MAGA Farm Guy”

If you've been a fan of Eastern Media since 1990, Antarctic Press's shift from "Ben Dunn made Sun Vulcan OCs before Power Rangers hit the air" to publishing full on Hard Right Wing Propaganda is brain melting

What do you mean Howard Stern left FM radio 20 years ago?

This is why we can tax these guys into oblivion 👏🏻THEY👏🏻CANT👏🏻LEAVE👏🏻

Streaming some animation work on a Sunday night. www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Lv...

this is why you must always oppose every act an imperialist country does, because then they’ll soon come for everyone

Wait, Vox is from a show? I thought he was from TikTok.

I see Alex Jones, who made his name on being against war for oil, has proudly taken the side of war for oil.

Evergreen.

“What was animation Collective?” you ask. “Was it a cooperative?”: No. “What was it like to work there?” Why I’m glad you asked; This 2005 Village Voice article definitely not specifically about Animation Collective with names changed, encapsulates it perfectly: www.villagevoice.com/animaniacs/

I’ve curated a starter pack to make it easier to find artists working in animation on Bluesky! (If you qualify but aren’t on this list let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!) go.bsky.app/KDYTiwF

Quick tutorial on how I draw 'ground' that might be useful!

I’ve never experienced a New Year’s Day in Los Angeles with cleaner air than this one. Thank God the rain washed all the fireworks smoke out of the air.

Got some time off between gigs from Jan 10-25 and I am doing the usual catch-up-with-friends-and-maybe-make-new-ones routine if anyone is around LA during those weeks!

Outlook for the new year ...

Today is the last day that you can repost this image
