It’s been 2 years since my last full-time job and I’ve been scraping by with sporadic freelance and part-time retail. I need stability in 2026!

I had to sloppily draw this interaction I had while driving today. I love how so many drivers in this town apparently get their licenses from cereal boxes haha

it’s a good thing we don’t have socialized healthcare because otherwise we might have to endure untenable wait times for basic care. anyway the annual checkup I scheduled last July to take place in March has just been rescheduled to May

I’m working all day, so I don’t really have the energy to do hourlies. Here’s my hourlies from last year instead!

Feels like a solid 90% of the people I know are unemployed or underemployed. (Even outside of animation.) My greatest dreams in life are finally traveling outside the country and owing a dog, and both feel like vastly out of reach luxuries I’ll never achieve. Breaks my damn heart.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

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

I will probably be pushing my commissions hard next month- I’m gonna be pretty broke after paying (newly raised) rent and bills 🥲

I’ve been working retail part time until the animation jobs “come back”, and while it’s nowhere near a livable wage, it’s at a museum store, and I get free access to the museum grounds. This is the second time in my life I’ve had such access to a museum, and it’s oh-so precious to me

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

ICE melts and one day they will face justice for their atrocities. Sending lots of love and solidarity to all of Minneapolis and Minnesota

His name was Alex Pretti, he was 37. He was recording ICE, directing traffic, and helping up someone agents had shoved to the ground. They murdered him for it.

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

I can’t wait for him to die

I miss storyboarding so much

It’s #PortoflioDay again! I have 5yrs of experience and love to storyboard and work with a team to create a cool show. Let’s work together, I need a job real dang bad!

Found some old doodles in the margins of some circle takes, back when I was DPA on Apple & Onion in 2019

going through old Craig of the Creek files and found this sequence I revised & cleaned up from the ep 'Toman's House'! (I believe the roughs were done by the amazing Erik Fountain) I miss this show and crew so bad, man

Hello again #Portfolioday, My Name is Caroline, and I'm currently looking for any kind of Background Layout work in Animation, my past credits include both King of the Hill and Beavis and Butthead Revivals, Praise Petey, Grimsburg, and many more. My Website is carolinemariekane.weebly.com

Putting holiday decor away today- get a load of my old Cartoon Network snowglobe where the water has aged like piss. I think this was the studio gift back in 2006?

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

I don't know man I think the fact that a massive social media platform has a built in tool to take a picture of a child and put them in a bikini should be a society altering scandal especially in a society that has been repeatedly curtailing our civil liberties under the banner of "protecting kids"

hi everyone. sorry to do it like this. i recently have had a mild aneurysm, due to many years of high stress and related heart issues. medical costs have skyrocketed out of my control. if you can, i am humbly asking for assistance covering these costs. paypal.me/jamesroachmusic

I was digging through files on my old laptop, and found the heraldry I drew for my Animal Crossing island during lockdown. It feels like a million years ago now

I’m so excited it’s the year of the horse, because not only did I luck out and have my favorite animal be my zodiac sign, it gives me carte blanche to draw more horsies

I thought about making some eloquent comic about 2025, but this year, particularly the last 4 months, have been so emotionally, physically, and financially draining, that I’ve struggled to find joy and motivation in creating. One of my worst years, and I was at my lowest this week. Fuck 2025 :)

Jeff Daniels and I circa 1996 or 1997 at my dad’s ’bring your kids to work day’

Received a wonderful holiday gift of my rent getting raised :)

I just lost power, merry Christmas 2 me

in happier news, I love my FFXIV elf very much

the entire LA animation industry should get to take turns beating their owed money out of Zaslav like a piñata

Hahaha ever since Craig of the Creek became the latest victim of Zaslav’s merger bloodbath I haven’t been able to find a steady job. This man has ruined careers, ruined peoples lives, and gets paid MILLIONS for it. Hahaha hahaha

Well usually my apartment doesn't give 3 day notices unless you're 2 months behind, but I guess I'm special!! I desperately need to raise at least an extra $1000 RIGHT AWAY so if you can share this around, I'd be very VERY grateful!

I liked horses, and drawing was a way to manifest more horses. And then in middle school I got a detention for drawing too many horses in class and not paying attention, and everything since then has been a mad dash to spite that punishment.

Legitimately, all I want for Christmas is a full-time job. This year has been such a struggle

The agreement between the Walt Disney Company and OpenAl for Disney to license its content to Sora, a short-form generative Al video platform, raises several major concerns that not only affect animation workers but consumers and families around the world. Please read.

Still fundraising! Hoping to get to 100% in the next 3 weeks' time. And thank you again to everyone who has helped out so far! It really does mean a lot, especially considering how rough it is out there for everyone these days

Animation Guild President Danny Lin shares a statement on the proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery by Netflix . The proposed merger raises undeniable concerns about job security and the future of our industry. Read complete statement.

I was asked to pitch something to WB earlier this year. They passed on it, and maybe I’ll share my pitch someday, but I can’t help thinking about the projects that are in that development purgatory right now. Mergers are historically a bloodbath

The post-it auction ends tomorrow night with a show at Gallery 839! IATSE members still have time to buy some original art and support PAC, which could use the funding now more than ever

All media mergers end up hurting writers, actors, directors, and everyone else who works in the industry. Executives, assistants, caterers, teamsters, everyone. Fewer companies means fewer jobs, period.

This has been such an indescribably difficult year and I really, really hope 2026 is better

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

tragic, ironic, depressing and hilarious that LinkedIn, a service arguably partially responsible for the abysmal job market right now, is also responsible for this graphic

My freelance was pushed back to January, and I haven't been able to find any other work. I'm offering whatever I can in return for help. Stories, comics, drawings. Leave a comment with your donation. I'll do it for you. Thank you so much to everyone who is able to help/share! ko-fi.com/tylerhendrix

I’m thrilled to have these pieces in TAG’s Annual post-it show and auction! This is an auction that happens every year to benefit IATSE PAC. If you’re an IATSE member, be sure to check out the auction (and maybe bid on some art!)

Thanks! Thanks so much! Thanks for reaching out! Can't wait to connect! Can't wait to hear more! Looking forward to our conversation! Looking forward to hearing from you! Let me know! Let me know if this works for you! Let me know if this works for your schedule! Let me know when you're available!
