california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Starting tomorrow 🙂‍↕️ 🏃🏿🏳️‍🌈

Oh my god the finale of Hacks had me on the edge of my seat and crying What a great show

I'm at the West Coast Card Show in Ontario, CA with several other talented card artists and Disney Lorcana artists this weekend! You can find us in the Artist Avenue between the halls!

Course launched! Starting in September. Will be live rather than VOD, but will make recordings available for a limited time after to students. More info here: animationscreenwriting.com

People want to sell that AI is taking jobs away in animation but tbh, at least from my viewpoint as a worker in the US, a lot of shows staffing up are still working the same pipeline as before. There's just not as many shows due to a) correction from streaming bubble and b) more importantly, greed

Watching Spider Noir and having a pretty good time, but my god do the stock sound effects they choose for the cars bug the hell out of me-- it's supposed to be in the 30s mid Depression but all the car engines and car horns sound modern-- narry an awooga nor a chugging mistimed engine to be heard

There are currently 3 ongoing/upcoming Kickstarters for Black-led animated projects to support: • The Three Tomes by @breanimator.bsky.social • FLY by @jayrayart.bsky.social • HEY by ToonrificTariq Links below! ⬇️

One of my absolute favorite movies!

This project has been on my to-do list for years, sitting half finished thru multiple moves across the country 😅 So I decided to use MerMay as an excuse to finally finish her! 💖✨ Made entirely with paper, paper clay, and gouache paints!

(1/9) An update for folks who ordered custom full color Disney Lorcana card alters from me at Glimmer Games back in March!! (AND for folks looking to get signings and sketches from me the next couple weekends at Enchanted Citrus Clash and West Coast Card Show Ontario):

I really recommend Robot Dreams, it is about a cute dog and a cute robot. Look at how cute they are.

This is a ton of fun to fiddle with. :D Q-tips are funny little paintbrushes. XD #drachenmagier #art

Another year around the sun~

Something I wish I could scream from the rooftops to make sure everyone could hear at least once: y'all need to be looking for and talking to folks on the Production side of animation more because HOLY SHIT, most of your favorite cartoons just WOULD NOT EXIST without their expertise and work.

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

ok i got a lot of replies to this on tumblr but this is the best one ^^

Hey LA friends, if you're having a hard time navigating this aggravating (but important) election, DSA LA put out their voting guide.

Being an artist means you’re drawing daily for hours while wishing you had time to draw

this is an improvised little animation demo to test out some #blender rigs I created. As I refine and improve these rigs, I'll post more tests. introducing Slip, Chester and Peanut 🦦🌰🥜 #animation #artpost

happy out of touch thursday!

Gonna be thinking about the absolutely devastating MST3K burn "this looks like it was filmed on a disposable camera" all evening lol

I worked on the Neon Odyssey music video for @avantris.bsky.social This really was a dream project getting to animate all these spaceships! Check out the full video here! youtube.com/watch?v=JOGd...

It's almost springtime again in Moominvalley~

Do you want to believe? Guess who's been rewatching the X Files~

My main piece for the Welcome Home Snufkin Moomin fanzine @moominszine.bsky.social, which is available for free now! I was inspired by the end of the Melody of Moominvalley DLC :>

Me: -grabs a box of sparkling peach tea at Trader Joe's- Woman shopping: "oh, are those any good?" Me, shoveling 3 more boxes into my cart: "yeah."

Remember, in the 1970s, the largest segment of Star Trek fandom, according to several surveys as well as comparing the amount of types of fan zines, was Kirk/Spock shippers. Star Trek is not a male led hobby- it’s a women and queer led one, that happens to have been mostly written by men.

I find it incredibly telling when men like Dawkins are convinced that the LLMs are ‘intelligent’ because it ‘agrees’ with them or tells them how insightful or clever they are

amazing that our own small creations connect us directly to the moment of our universe erupting out of nothing and the unfathomable power of existence itself and yet we look at our drawings or stories and are like 'this is bad.' bud it is not bad it is the leading edge of a billion years of beauty

Just once... I would really like to exhibit IN PERSON at lightbox expo just once......

it’s such a CRIME how much the Pluto anime got overlooked because Netflix didn’t promote it at all it’s eight movie quality episodes of an AMAZING and relevant sci-fi story with the most stacked staff list you’ve ever seen if you didn’t watch Pluto when it came out, there’s no better time than now

at least once a day I think about how Tchaikovsky had a sugar mama patron who funded his entire life and art on the basis that he keeps cooking the way he loves to cook and that he never talks or looks her in the eye ever ever ever EVER and they say true love only exists in fairy tales

Megamind is seriously the best movie.
