Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free” the library bought it. which in turn means that the community bought it. In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

Just played a bit of this on steam and was absolutely captured! All I can think about is all the things left to build, fix, clean, or upgrade in this game!

Classic Polish animation is wild, one-of-a-kind stuff. And hundreds of these films are streaming for free in restored quality. We've taken a brief tour of the work available, with links to watch some of our favorites: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/polish-ani...

It's incredible how accurately Shel Silverstein predicted AI decades ago

Look how cute they are when they are being epic

Our very first video! Dan reached out to a young @Patstannard.bsky.social and @doigswift.com after witnessing their work on Game Grump Animateds. The rest, is history! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS_OWTKCUIM

Everyone seems to be posting traumatic things they saw on this, so to bump that trend "the Secret of Nimh"!

So one of them is a bird right, and the other one is a bear. And they live on an airship, but they're also... they're also artists? And one of the programs everything that breaks. Sometimes we throw bombs at them and they explode. ALSO there's jellycats. And jaffa cakes.

Hi #PortfolioDay, I do a lot of visual storytelling and am working on original indie animation and comic projects! Looking ahead, I’m open to exploring agent representation in the future. Feel free to reach out! #art #animation #original

To all the artists creating in these times: thank you. It’s not easy to make beauty, truth, or meaning when the world feels chaotic. Whether it helps you breathe or comforts others, your work matters. Art doesn’t need to fix the world to be meaningful, sometimes it just needs to exist.

It's fantastic to see a concept as wild as DATE EVERYTHING getting overwhemingly possitive reviews since it's release, as well as seeing our trailer animation making the rounds again! https://youtu.be/v2Rv9zX3K24

Tomorrow's the day! Last chance to sign up!

Day 28 of our 30 days of Starlight Brigade! Recording from behind the scenes allowed us to treat our team to the crowds real time reaction to climactic moments such as this!

Godtier assortment of outfits!

I have fallen so hard for this character and it was great fun to indulge in some of my fave Keefe fits. The costume dept deserves every award for this show. He's giving female gaze meets ex-satanic goth meets born again Christian meets Korean runway meets gay crop tops meets bdsm and it WORKS.

Day 26 of our 30 days of Starlight Brigade! David Liu, being the mad genius he is, crafted this very special VHS style trailer for the music video!

Day 27 of our 30 days of Starlight Brigade! David Liu's friend snuck backstage during the premiere of our video and caught some truly heartwarming words from Dan beforehand! ❤️❤️❤️

If y'all aren't familiar with @projectendo.bsky.social's glorious animation, go take a gander! I ended up doin' a lil cooldown sketch of his squirrel fella and thought it a good opportunity to remind y'all to go check him out!

Day 23 of our 30 Days of Starlight Brigade! Sometimes you need a specialist, and for Effects shots as complex as this you call Tibbs! @noitibmar.bsky.social‬

A repost of our Day 22 of 30 Days of Starlight Brigade! Let's see if we can drop in the video proper this time! One of the most mechanically complex shots from the video, expertly animated by Elle Power!

Day 19 of our 30 days of Starlight Brigade! In addition to Renee's poster explorations, David Liu ‪@dsloogs.com‬ and India Swift @doigswift.com also lent their talents, eventually nailing down the final design and layouts for the promotional material.

I would like to work more on character acting and dialogue, here is an animation of @doigswift.com

Still absolutely love this art piece of Triangle and Circle from Nightrunner Magnum Bullets!

To celebrate its 6 year anniversary we're doing "30 Days of Starlight Brigade!" Starting off with some behind the scenes sketches by the one and only India Swift! (@doigswift.com)

On this day, 6 years ago, we collaborated with Dan Avidan, @twrpband.bsky.social, and the amazing @doigswift.com to generate this monumentous music video. Starlight Brigade! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9Q3i5w6-Ug

Triangle could have looked very different, BBS(Big Bad Stag) as well! We explored a variety of synthwave inspired styles before landing on the iconic shape motif shared among the entire cast.

5 years (and 2 months) ago we submitted our very first fully animated music video. Nightrunner Magnum Bullets! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuHe9lm5vUE

6 years ago we debuted probably one of the kookiest productions we've ever worked on! It was an immense pleasure to add our talent to an already stacked roster of Starbomb music videos! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbkU_PCimWY

Good friends tease you about your celebrity crushes, but I still stand by Pati.

This one was a real challenge! But it's worth the effort for an opportunity to animate Drolta! #CastlevaniaNocturne

I've waited long enough to post this! Had a lot of fun animating this shot, and working with @samueldeats.bsky.social gorgeous layouts! #CastlevaniaNocturne

My composting breakdown for this shot from #CastlevaniaNocturne S2 episode 7! Direction by @adamdeats.bsky.social , lead compositor Sofia Puerto. I had so much fun adding in rotating smoke and volumetric lights to accentuate the feeling of depth in this 3D shot.

Late-night re-posting because for some reason my last upload was super low res! Anyhoo, still whaling on Erzebet, but now in higher def! #CastlevaniaNocturne

These three always deliver entertainment, but it has been their political navigation and breakdowns that have given me such helpful perspective. Recognizing that This Shit absolutely stinks, and it's fair to lose our shit, but we have to take care of ourselves or we ain't shit to anyone.

Burn her! Had some fun doin the 'impact' frames and fire effects on this one, lots of flowy shapes to go around! #CastlevaniaNocturne #Netflix

Erzebet just gettin' wailed on by two belmonts! I had a lot of fun with the hair silhouette in this one, not to mention the subtle 3d camera rotation! #CastlevaniaNocturne

I had the great honor of gettting to animate Juste's Ice Squire ability, I was quite happy with how the highlights on the Ice came out! #CastlevaniaNocturne

Loved making this one

✊

Time for your Starlight Brigade pick-me-up. <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9Q3...

Wow, only 9 spaces, but still got a bingo! Working as a directory ironed out a lot of the file contruction bad habits, now I'm a stickler for tidy file management!

Who wants to join my book club?

More Castlevania animation until every one of you goes and watches Nocturne Season 2! I had a lot of fun mixing effects and night creature animations, like with this large and imposing gentleman!

I was honored when I found out there's a special moniker in our FX library called "Pat Fire". It's great for felling vampires or burning Lisa at the stake! The sharp eyed among you might even spot it in the latest season of Castlevania Nocturne on Netflix ;)
