Loop for @maltadult.bsky.social Track by fuzzyloops on instagram

This is Sunday in Chicago! So excited to chat with one of the directors of this amazing film.

Oooooh the siren call of deleting all social media and just releasing art through screenings, galleries, and occasional steam releases... ooooooh...

"...with all the AI stuff, it’s nice to see something that’s more human, like the fingerprints in clay animation." Our latest animator interview with Rhianna Berthoud up on our Malt Blog: www.maltadult.com/blog

While I am not the best at Bluesky posting [yet]... at the very end of every Monday I try to do a huge story share to anyone over on Instagram. A way to kinda battle and unpack the algorithm for all of us who hate it (all of us--?). www.instagram.com/maltadult

Feelin mega fortunate about this big gig next month - I'm on the jury for @cardiffanimfest.bsky.social and hosting a @maltadult.bsky.social showcase April 24! Seeyou there? 👀🧑‍✈️ www.eventbrite.com/e/malt-adult...

TRANS DAY OF VISIBILITY

Dianne Jackson mastered the art of turning illustrations into animation. She did it in her film The Snowman, in the Peter Rabbit series and more. Millions know Jackson's work, but few know about her. Our new issue tells the story of this great artist: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-unsung...
