fun reminder: the reason why they make these fucking pointless "live action" remakes is because since it's "live action", the animation is considered "vfx" and not character animation, so they can pay these non-unionized satellite studios fuck-all and make a cool few million for essentially nothing

I legitimately believe that not only is there a 'value' in it, as a human being, to do writing and art and music even if you're not very good at it, but that it'll make you feel a lot better as a person. And you learn that it's harder than it looks but it's not so hard that you can't learn to do it

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

in honor of wart coming back for a movie I'm probably not going to see let us remember that the best art of this character ever came from a zelda game's strategy guide. look at him.

Genuinely terrifying and a powerful illustration of why gender shouldn't be registered in an official capacity. It creates datasets that enable the surveillance and policing of anyone who needs to navigate the gendered system in a nonstandard way.

The very fact they actually used real animation cels for this short film in 2026 is absolutely insane and awesome. Probably the best music video I’ve seen in a LONG as time. Pure artistic eye candy. youtu.be/ucRulNQsuYQ

happy The Mountain day to those who observe

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

So this will hit a lot of places, but assisted living facilities and nursing homes will be hit particularly hard.

Tapping the sign

ok I cleaned the office a lil today so why not

sent an email I was scared of pls clap

I will say this for AI “art”: no matter how ass my art might feel at times, it has given me the satisfaction of knowing that it is important and it matters because at least it is not some AI bullshit

A Gorillaz short film by The Line studio is coming on February 27 on Youtube : "The Mountain, The Moon Cave and The Sad God". www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucRu...

Imagine a world where children are never encouraged to draw or write or imagine stories, they are only told to consume and prompt and generate, poking the Approved Intellectual Property Characters with a stick to dance for them, but never having characters or worlds or stories of their own.

my god, so true

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Took a break from simultaneously trying to do my homework, apply for scholarships, and do my job to build a snowman (well, a snowbear) with my beautiful wife @aasterisms.bsky.social. Cannot recommend this highly enough. Look at him

Keep fighting. Keep pushing.

we made a snowbear :3

“Wow, I dropped the ball on a lot of things for some reason, must be slacking—” you utter dipshit, what happened in the last couple months

get weirder 🫵

she had my whole heart since the first moment I saw her

love to wear a nametag with my pronouns and still get misgendered all night :) (by a group of artsy millennials mind you)

“Looking to hire an artist of color” okay but are you gonna pay them well? Are they gonna be the only one on the team? Are you gonna listen and advocate for them when they express concerns? Like, what are you offering a person of color when you want to hire one?

is therians a hot topic in the us too or is it mostly latinamerican rn

the Black Panthers were right

on a pixel art kick 🌀🐈‍⬛💫 #pixsquare #pixelart

Seeing the “process” videos where they only show successful final strokes and there’s zero reworking/erasing/exploration, UGH. Gives such a stilted, unrealistic picture of what it’s like to make art. We’re not printers, it’s active problem-solving on the canvas!!

Realizing that most video content from artists that does well sells the aesthetic IDEA of being an artist more than the art itself. The art is incidental

I’ve been in the dykiest relationship ever recorded for ten years today! i know its bad form to say it but truly no one’s ever been more in love than me and my perfect beautiful wife!!!

being an artist is just decades of going "ugh I wish I knew how to draw" over and over again until you die

I'm chiinsaw man ちぃんそーマン🪚でキメますっ☆

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home. #regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart

If indie animation is gonna have any viability, I must stress that it is important to have a good producer to figure out the money and manage the production team. I will keep banging this drum because it isnt enough to have skilled artists or writers without someone who can manage resources.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.

Hang it in the Louvre

Still my proudest work. From 2020.

i know i've been pretty quiet but here's the result of my January: a totally handmade, fully-functional marionette created for a local winter-themed puppet show. she's called the Winter Maw & she'll eat you alive, just like real winter

spot the difference

HAPPENING NOW: DHS just expedited Liam Conejo Ramos' asylum hearing to this morning, meaning it's possible the five-year-old and his family could be deported as soon as today. Rep. Joaquin Castro: "The Trump administration is trying to take him away again." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

*guy who really really doesn’t need a new hobby voice*: I made a circle

this pic explained butch/femme dynamics better than any article i've read

THAT FUCKING GROUNDHOG
