To my fellow artists and creatives: Love yourself enough to keep trying, learning, pivoting if needed, and never give up. Humans have been creating and sharing art since the early days of our species. It’s an essential part of the human experience.

If you can… give us work, we need proper long term support. Trans folks, especially trans women, are the most likely personnel in a company to get let go first or not hired at all. Beyond that… actually support and show up for our personal projects. Be that streams, artwork, writing, crafts, etc.

Cold take: Gundam ZZ is fun and has no qualms reminding the audience that they’re watching a cartoon. (But it’s Not an Anime!) Ignore the haters. ✌️

It’s been said over and over again, but it’s always worth repeating: Crunch is bad for everyone and isn’t a triumph of the workforce, it’s a failure of management. www.linkedin.com/posts/sadfis...

I don't get it. Everyone loves anime. Everyone loves Mad Max. NOBODY talks about Fist of the North Star. What the HELL is going on? It doesn't add up.

Huge thank you to the comedians, musicians, artists and writers who are just as mad and bewildered as the rest of us but are still doing their best to make life worth living for everyone.

You! Yeah you. Say something nice and uplifting to yourself right now. You deserve to enjoy your own kindness.

Anime has been kicking butt and taking names at the box office and on streaming for a long while now. Better pay and working conditions for the artists, crews, and localization staff is a very reasonable way forward. Don’t let some suit tell you it’s “unrealistic” or “unsustainable.”

If you watch one episode of my Twitch show it should be this one, and now it's free on YouTube. Starring Dan Lippert with special guests @alexisbpreston.bsky.social and @garbcakes.bsky.social. youtu.be/_T7IMLruYgU?...

Looney Tunes remained popular for decades precisely because it was airing in widespread syndication on TV all the time. Old cartoons should be FREE to find new audiences, ESPECIALLY when their rights holders don't even care enough to platform them anymore.

One of the most freeing things as an artist is to look at, really LOOK at, Toriyama's work on Dragon Ball. Characters are wildly and regularly "off-model" from panel-to-panel, and it all just works. Don't get hung up on the little details like "Does this character look right?" and just draw.

One of my favorite Marvel/Spider-Man writers is a fan of a show I worked on. I’m so honored! 🥹

Kind of funny how this guy is so simple in design yet he’s one of the most iconic and quotable characters in adult animation

BREAKING: New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has signed a bill banning landlords from using algorithms to collude and raise rents.

Love yourself enough to try. Learn to think for yourself and explore new things. Your future self will thank you.

Anyone else ever had that moment when you’re experimenting with your drawings and discover a new rendering style that really clicks with you? 🔥

there goes my hero, watch him as he goes

Work will never love you back. Consistently make regular time for your physical and mental health and your relationships.

... ... ... Do these people not realize that these GenAI slop images cheapen and diminish their work by association?

This one looks challenging, but I just might be up for it.

‘Sup, Earthlings? Seasons 1-5 of Solar Opposites are now on Netflix! Just another great way to introduce folks to the series and catch up before Season 6 premieres on Hulu on Oct 13th. Peace!🛸 #solaropposites #netflix

There it is! 5 seasons of Solar Opposites coming to Netflix!!! Season 6 will still be on Hulu so ya know help us out.

Just a reminder, I have a Patreon set up as a semi tip jar to help support me during these trying times. Consider throwing a buck or two my way. Work on my new film and access to my exclusive animation discord coming soon.

I’m happy to see folks in the wild who still talk about Little Demon. That show was really ramping up before getting axed. It was a fun show to work on and fun memories were made with a fun crew!

I know the animation industry is a tire fire right now, but both K-Pop Demon Hunters and Knights of Guinevere dropping in the same year is giving me hope

Seriously though, if you use Ai to make art you must not like making art so why do they do it? Find something you enjoy?? Are you human?

finished up to current on Kinnikuman Perfect Origin, stress again you're totally missing out if you like dumb cartoony shonen battle. a cyborg shut down and rebooted in SUPER FRIENDSHIP MODE

Anora cost $6M. Everything Everywhere All At Once cost ~$20M. CODA cost $10M. Nomadland cost $5M. Parasite cost $11M. Green Book cost $23m. The Shape of Water cost $20M. Moonlight cost ~$4M. Spotlight cost $20M. Birdman cost $18M. 12 Years a Slave cost $22M. I think you get the point.

Wishing a very happy birthday to one of the coolest perverts to ever do it, Go Nagai.

If you’re in the Greensboro, NC area this Saturday, join my friends and I for our Art Show at Pig Pounder Brewery from 12-5pm. Grab a pint, browse unique art, and support local talent right here in Greensboro! It’ll be a good time and we’d love to see you there!

Labor Rights are Human Rights. You cannot have one without the other. Any violation of one is a violation of the other. Any activism for one is for the other. Happy Labor Day

AI grifter scammed their way into Dragon Con. The staff had them escorted out, lmao you love to see it

The Toxic Avenger reboot was extremely goofy, gross, and heartfelt. Very punk rock. I enjoyed it even more than the original TBH.

What Americans want: lower costs, affordable health care, a healthy planet, livable wages What Trump delivers: threats of a military takeover in our own cities.

man, I love Berserk's soundtrack

Howdy, lovelies! I'm looking for #animation work again so here's my retakes reel with work I've done on #SolarOpposites S4-S5 (fair warning: a bit of strong language). Thanks for watching!

"LOONEY TUNES" is now available to watch for free on Tubi! There are 786 shorts available, packaged into 262 half-hour compilations of three shorts apiece — more than HBO Max ever had!

Anime in the 80s looks the way it does because there was so much fucking money to throw around and everyone wanted to make the new big thing, it’s why some random OVA you’ve never heard of can have some of the best animation you’ve ever seen

I am absolutely thrumming with excitement over this! Bravo, Discotek Media! 😍🤩🫡 Directing and acting in the English dub of Monster was such a foundational experience, and the fact that the series never got a full physical media release in the U.S. has haunted me ever since.

Happy Monday! I'll be looking for work again in a few weeks, so I wanted to share my most recent #2DFX #animation reel, now highlighting work I've done for #SolarOpposites S4-S5 and #LittleDemon in addition to work from my time at #RoosterTeeth. Thanks for watching and enjoy! vimeo.com/1106913231

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

TopGolf with friends is a rad time out! I don’t follow or play golf and it was still so much fun.

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.
