I take every available shift at my part time job, and it is far from enough to cover living expenses. I have been looking for work for over a year and a half now, and I would love for this misery to end! I just want to get my life back on track lol

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

here’s a marker drawing from my sketchbook.

We have only gotten this far as a species because we are social and hardwired to be empathetic. The greed and cruelty that those in power show are not innate aspects of human nature, they are aberrations that cannot last.

Beyond cancelling Kimmel's show are about 200 writers and crew members in LA who just lost their full time gig.

With how the animation job market has been for the past couple years, I really struggle to justify or recommend paying $70+ for even a one day ticket to Lightbox.

I'm an experienced storyboard artist still looking for work! I have over 4 years of professional experience, and can hit the ground running as a revisionist or board artist. Past credits include Craig of the Creek, Apple & Onion, #1 Happy Family USA, and more! www.HannahLeeStockdale.com

Is denying people healthcare, kidnapping people from their jobs to be sent to detention camps, targeting minorities with legislation and hate speech campaigns not political violence?

When you cultivate a culture of violence, you will get violence. There is no violence for me and not for thee, it's either violence or peace on all sides.

Happy Labor Day! I’m an experienced animation worker who is really struggling financially right now. Please consider me!

Rian is mega talented and was a joy to work alongside on Apple & Onion. Snatch him up!!

Digging through some old folders and admiring old drawings. I was really into working with markers in 2018-19!

Wouldn't it be cool if in response to Kpop Demon Hunters being the most successful animated movie of the year/all time/whatever companies paid artists to do cool original projects and more shows and movies and more stability in animation and design. Hahahhahahahahahhaha man. Oh well!

I think all animation workers affected by this years-long job drought should be compensated with a million dollars and a 90% discount on their rent

Is anyone else getting their butt utterly kicked by their sinuses right now?

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Happy Monday, I am still on the lookout for work opportunities! Over 4 years of professional experience, and able to hit the ground running ASAP. www.hannahleestockdale.com

So I actually got this job- yippee! But since it’s on-call, I’m not guaranteed a whole lot of hours, and it’s far from a livable wage. So I am still hustling for a second job. Wahoo.

I attended the Burbank Media industry job fair yesterday, where no one was hiring. At the job fair. The fair for jobs.

Cartoons like this one aren't being made anymore, despite them being popular. Watch StuGo, make it undeniable to the networks that people want cartoons!

If any folks are near the tsunami zones, please stay safe ❤️

It was all for nothing. All the canned projects, people laid off, countless hours of work and films and shows thrown away. And the end result was just "Yeah we're back to where we were before it began." This is going to be somebody's Joker origin story moment.

I am so earth shatteringly tired of job hunting in an economy that feels like a black hole

the perverts are the canary in the coal mine, if you care about art you should care about censorship

There are vanishingly few places for adults to sell works of art to adults online thanks to the christofascist policies of payment processors deciding what is allowed. Artists are watching their entire income and livelihoods disappear overnight. Please help us and sign.

People telling creatives “just get a [retail/service/etc.] job while the market sorts itself out” truly do not understand how bad it is out there. I had similar experiences between my last few contracts. People simply do not want to hire you if you’re coming from another industry.

I've been job hunting for over a year and a half now. The *first* job app I've heard back from, for a part-time on-call gift shop associate (that barely pays above min wage and only gets 1-2shifts/wk), has had multiple interview rounds and is now asking for retail references from gigs 7+ yrs ago :)

I love trying to figure out how to get posts noticed in the much loved circus known as LinkedIn

well I just got a 3 day notice to pay rent. I am $1k short of the amount due and donations through stripe on ko-fi take a week to transfer. if you could give any amount through paypal (or are comfortable with working out a direct deposit) it would really be saving me. www.paypal.com/paypalme/tyl...

I am begging people to please stop suggesting struggling animation workers looking for work in this job market to “just go indie”. That’s not a band aid that magically brings our income and careers back.

Speaking strictly from the US animation industry, this is truly an unprecedented time of hardship. People up and down the career ladder are struggling to find work, the newest to the most experienced and talented artists. It truly is just luck at this point (and who you know that is also lucky)

I’m 2 years unemployed and just got out of a bad situation. $5 doodle commissions are back open!! This time I am including colored Pet Caricatures for $10! See my ko-fi page for more info / rules on your future requests! REBLOGS SUPER APPRECIATED! ko-fi.com/tehflood #art #commissions #mfloodart

It baffles and breaks my heart how many bonkers talented peers of mine in animation are still looking for work

Oh wow it's #PortfolioDay again! I'm Hannah, and I'm an experienced LA-based storyboard artist looking for my next gig! It's been a tough year+ for me, and I would love nothing more than to have a steady paycheck again. Let's work together! www.hannahleestockdale.com

my piece for the dog-themed charity show in the old Cartoon Network Studios gallery from early 2020. This might have been one of the, if not the last, gallery shows before lockdown. I miss the old studio space a ton!

I just wrapped up on some freelance doing revisions for a movie and I’m once again looking for work!!

It's almost comical how useless LinkedIn is these days. Thanks for notifying me about two "jobs" that are 1) from a spam job scraper for a gig I already applied for via the real job posting and 2) unpaid volunteer work

Could really use some good news! Would love a win!!

I hate to be doing this yet again. I know there are a lot more important things happening out there and we're all short on cash, but I'm two months behind on rent and am still struggling to find enough work to scrape by. I appreciate anything anyone can give. ko-fi.com/tylerhendrix...

Hell yeah NYC, you love to see it
