A very silly promo video for my stopmo and mixed media grad film Gullermo which is nearing the end of production! Song underneath my silly singing is Ethan McNeal - Swatting at Flies

You don’t need Disney-level resources and drawing skills to create animation. People have made classics with sand and a source of light. With magazine clippings, or their own bodies animated via stop motion. There’s no barrier to entry, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/sand-and-a...

Literally every visiting speaker to my animation college includes "don't be a dick" in their advice. What is happening out there in the industry man

I only did two hourly comics this year before I decided to spend my energy elsewhere, gettin snacks and looking at fish. Been waking up early lately for someone with sleepalot disorder #hourlycomicsday

I need to clean it up and check it out, but would anyone be interested in my 21UX?

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Man

Behind the scenes of Gullermo! Bashing out as much stopmo claymation as I can over the next few weeks and then I'll focus on oil pastel, sticky notes and collage for some other scenes.

yeah.......

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

My undergrad thesis is now online to read! It's about autobio comics about mental illness and the function of the style, register and avatars used in them, looking specifically at examples from Justin Green, Allie Brosh and Zoe Thorogood! #graphicmedicine illustro-iadt.figshare.com/articles/the...

Hello Bluesky here is my lesser black backed gull friend Gullermo getting hassled by some magpies for his lunch

I'm a nonbinary AuDHD Irish artist, animation student and petsitter with ME/CFS. This year I finished my thesis on autobio comics about mental illness and now I'm starting production on my mixed media grad film about my balcony seagull Gullermo who has kept me company through the quiet years!

My mam loves to de-stress from her troubles by winding herself up watching the most depressing movies known to mankind. They are like catnip to her

For National Poetry Day, a personal favourite of mine and one I think about more and more in these troubled times.

Was about to post 'sunflower seed hulls are great for when you're craving pencil shavings and ice lolly sticks' and then I googled it and discovered I could be giving myself intestinal damage by eating sunflower seed hulls. Back to pencil shavings it is then

my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...

Listen I don't want to talk about it but I think Mike Wozniak in Taskmaster is giving me gender envy. I just think my general demeanour would make more sense if I looked like a milk drinking manfailure

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

The link between gut health and mood disorders needs to be studied and treated better because I truly lose the entire will to live every time tummy hurts a bit too much for a bit too long

I lose more faith in the public every time I go to the apartment bin room and see people's complete laziness and inability to follow basic waste sorting instructions. I wash and dry and separate my recyclables only for someone to throw their chicken tikka masala over it for god knows what reason

One chronic illness perk is that I'm now able to swallow an insane amount of pills at once. I used to choke on half a panadol as a kid and I just threw down 10+ pills, an entire mouthful of pharmaceuticals, big gulp of water no praaawblem

Forgot to show u how good I looked at a queer wedding where I felt safe drawing on one of my lil pencil mustaches. The mustache gives me endless power and reliably makes people stop ma'aming me

It is Wednesday my dudes

My mom left an eviction notice for the carpenter bees burrowing into our porch

I’m gentle but nervous, like a lamb who is late for an important meeting

Speaking of loving SFX and prosthesis, I made myself some mask decorations out of liquid latex, loo roll, fake nails and toothpicks to celebrate the launch of @griffski.bsky.social's excellent book Eat The Ones You Love, out now in all good bookshops 👁️🌱

I think the thing I like most about Dropout is the 'DVD extras' vibe it brings that has been lost to this streaming era. I generally don't find Very Important People funny (love Vic Michaelis tho) but I LIVE for the behind the scenes videos where the SFX artists talk through their process.

A demented thing that has been happening in my brain the last few days is the Too Many Cooks jingle but the lyrics are the entirety of The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost youtu.be/QrGrOK8oZG8?...

Was nervous to go to a family wedding for the first time since changing my name but nobody passed any heed in true Irish fashion. Some of them already knew the new name, some didn't, some ppl made an effort with the pronouns which was sweet and unexpected, no conversation was made of it. 10/10

Me, when I am free from tasks: do not ever burden me with a task Me, when I have been burdened with a task: lord help me I have been burdened with a task Me, when the tasks continue: I am burdened lord

Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller May 28,1951

Chris' first car has finally broken down in a big way and he needs to get a new one. He's being very normal about it but I will need some time to process the loss of brave Volvo. I don't care about cars but I get very attached to the ones in my life, they are metal horses to me

Me: I have the brain of a gnat and a flea and I will not see God Chris, consolingly: I know this, dear. I've known all along
