“Earth is a pleasure cruise for 1000 people and we're all just the staff.”

It's bittersweet seeing a legend like James Baxter pop in to guest-animate a sequence for some TV series now and then On the one hand: holy shit James Baxter is one of the best to ever do it On the other: the infrastructure that cultivated James Baxter's skills doesn't really exist anymore

#indieanimationday is a thing? Hello! I'm making an independent short film about two creatures in the desert and the tragedy of their survival. It's called Hurtland! You can find semi-regular updates on the project on my Kofi: ko-fi.com/album/Hurtla...

Valentine's Miku sketch: 🩵🩷

FOUND IT! By @kadabura.bsky.social !

I know it's good advice to draw from life, but truthfully, it's so hard to find things "from life" that are artistically interesting to me. That's why I just end up drawing muscular dudes

Another pencil drawing I finished up that I'd like to get painted soon. 🧜‍♀️

nobody posted the clip anywhere so i went and dug the whole episode up

Well holy fucking shit. Ring cancelled their partnership with Flock. Keep pressure on them to stop volunteering their feeds to state, local, and federal agencies, though, because that part's still going.

#Hurtland progress update: I'm working on storyboard revisions, and I made these two sketches that I'm really tempted to color in and fully render right now. But I still have other scenes I need to revise first!

It was interesting that fully clothed non white women dancing was considered "pornographic".

my politics

I can't stop finding inspiration in every piece of art I see. Send help? Or don't? Idk

Note to self: the level of detail put into a background should be directly proportional to how long that background stays on screen

Joe Jusko, 1998

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

hit 'em where it hurts!! 🥰✨

No I ain't doin' hourlies, but here's the overwhelming winner of this week's Free Taste from patreon www.patreon.com/posts/149686...

cartoon they let me make www.youtube.com/watch?v=47qi...

made a couple of book recommendations on tumblr on a post i saw about the importance of Play, and now i'm relistening to vivian paley's radio interviews and getting a little emotional about these simple universal truths lol

Experiencing and creating art is what my life is about and I will happily face whatever punishment the world deems appropriate for my frivolity and evasiveness.

I KEEP BEING CALLED AN OATHBREAKER FOR HAVING SEX. NO WHERE IN MY OATH DID I PROMISE TO BE A LOSER

There needs to be something like a Newgrounds for queer people. I know Newgrounds exists, but it's just not gay enough. I'm sorry

From sketch to final game ✨ Add Worldless to your wishlist this #WishlistWednesday

Lately I've been noticing sometimes I see a drawing of an anime girl and I think to myself "Yeah, he's a trans guy."

SEGA have some new third party IP agency doing the rounds, so if you have any Yakuza, Sonic etc merch in your Etsy and you've not been got yet, it's time to rename some listings.

we invented pornographic art tens of thousands of years before written language. we invented the condom before steel. Bread is older than war. Beer is older than borders. We're better at making good things than bad. We've had more practice.

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

adobe deleted their post so this one's for posterity

Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain (Pitter Patter)

There’s a reason she’s in the dungeon. #gagcartoon

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'. And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.

I can't believe Adobe is killing Adobe. Sounds like it should be a crime

You see animation is very easy! As long as you don't give a crap about anything being on model

Sometimes I think about becoming a full time artist who makes money from people on the internet but then I remember how exhausted I get dealing with people on the internet

Tomodachi Life stream going great so far

I think genAI is something that could be good one day, but it definitely isn't right now

this isn't as fun as some others BUT if you're sharing your comic for free, someone's gonna complain about something unimportant at some point, the schedule, the style, a color choice etc. and I NEED you to know that you can tell them to give you a million dollars to do it to their specifications

snowstorm is an awesome excuse to bake (shrimp) bread

As the masks continue to fall and the world reveals itself more clearly, resist the pull toward cynicism. The oppressor depends on our hopelessness to survive. Surround yourself with people who not only believe a better world is possible, but who are building it within every aspect of their lives.

Reading about what is happening to innocent people in Minnesota is actually worse than any horror movie. How is any of this being allowed to happen?

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Independent journalist @laurajedeed.bsky.social wrote about being hired by ICE after a 6-minute interview for SLATE. There's a myth that ICE is highly trained (as if that justifies their consistent violence) but truly, they'll hire anyone as long as they follow orders. slate.com/news-and-pol...

A huge part of keeping faith in humanity that people never talk about is avoiding resentment. Talk about your boundaries with people, and speak up when those boundaries are violated. Otherwise, you'll feel used, and your kindness will feel like weakness.

lol called it

I just watched Fantastic Planet, and it's a really good movie, but man does it feel twee to watch a movie that ends with the two warring cultures declaring peace while we live in a reality where war and genocide are presently, actively happening
