Someone asked me to board a few scenes for their CG-to-look-stop motion short and part of me caught on fire. They were talking about how they want there to be truth in materials and I’m like “Bro, let’s just do it in actual stop-mo. Please bro, you gotta.”

Hello I exist solely to remind you to get giant buttons of your pfp made for Lightbox (if you can) so I can recognize you.

“It’s just a tool! People used to hate on photoshop too.” Take away my photoshop, take away my tablets, I can still draw. Take away your plagiarism machine and what are you gonna do? Shout prompts at me?

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️ Artists create universes from nothing. Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Star Wars is one of those bucket list franchises for me, and I’m so happy that @moxieiii.bsky.social asked me to participate in her take on it!!

Y’all… this gigantic tote bag is a quarter of my whole display. (Anime Expo lets gooooooo)

I need y’all cooking on those K-Pop Demon Hunters fanfics to write faster cuz the news is hurting my tummy and I want my heart to feel some tasty yearning thank you

Promoting again with more hashtags so people can find meeeee #animeexpo #ax2025 #ax2025artistalley #axartistalley2025 #axcatalog

I’ve got a collection stainless steel drink tumblers coming with me to #AnimeExpo, but this one is gonna be an AX/Chibi exclusive! Drink something Delicious in the Dungeon and make sure you’ve got the energy to find the red dragon!

Always and forever grateful to my friends and supporters and people for leaving comments. 💜💜💜

What I miss about peak Twutter was when my feed would tell me what anime to watch or game to play because it would be FLOODED with people screaming and fanart. It helped me feel connected to people and spaces that I have difficulty accessing irl.

IT’S MY #ANIMEEXPO2025 CATALOG AHHHHHH. I’m a lucky little lamb to have gotten off the waitlist and was able to get a butt ton of stuff made with just a 3 month heads up and two other huge events before AX.

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL

I'm still suckling on the dopamine I got from a conversation I had on Thursday where I used the word "bifurcate" without even having to think about it or rehearse it and it's like, the smartest I've felt this decade.

Yooooo look! Listen!

Y’all don’t know how cool this is gonna be!!

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Huh. Never thought to ask if my parents had a TV when they were living in Cambodia. Dad did, mom didn’t.

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

Asking for a friend! If one were visiting Portland, OR because they’re shopping for a new life, what neighborhoods should they check out? Walkable to things you’d need for the everyday: grocery, bank, cafe/restaurants, parks!

The way J. Michael Tatum says “I love you too” in this scene has been haunting me for DAYS. So tender and bittersweet. One of those acting moments that just kamehameha’s right through your heart.

I nearly stepped into the path of a moving pick up truck because I was making eye contact with a lively white husky hanging out of a parked car’s window, and he was beckoning to me. My own sweet panting siren, calling to me across the asphalt, inviting me to rest my weary soul and sleep…

Last RP: Man, I miss working in stop motion. Sometimes when I see folks do CG “stop motion,” I feel like they’re missing a fundamental reason to make something in stop motion: the undeniably human touch. I love the entire aesthetic of stop motion.

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟

HOLY BUTTS I GOT OFF THE WAITLIST FOR ANIME EXPO ARTIST ALLEY Oh god I’m so scared what do you want from me what is an anime my tastes are like, almost 10 years behind can I just make you all some sweet romance anime stuff that’s all I watch what are a Dan da Dan

Re: last repost The ice breaker question in my welcome meeting was “what is your guilty pleasure movie?” and they perplexed when I said I didn’t have an answer because I don’t see why I should feel shame or guilt for what I like to watch.

Once saw a theory floated that the live-action remakes continue to be profitable because a significantly-large-enough percentage of Disney's audience like their cartoons, but feel foolish for liking them. Been thinking about that for weeks.

The most terrible thing about my very fancy new-to-me ergonomic chair is that the wheels are clean and can actually roll now and are constantly reminding me that my floors are sloped as I fight to stay at my desk.

For Zelda’s 39th anniversary, my Stardew farmer is a Link that ran away from his life at Joja’s corporate headquarters in Hyrule to avoid having to be the hero of the company, and is now in love with Sebastian, with Elliott pining from afar.

Not where I want to be yet, but I'm still growin'! Looking forward to when I can have one of those monster displays that look like a whole traveling storefront!

I started playing Stardew Valley as a chill way to unwind from the past month but here I am at the shelter because a bunch of people evacuated from a highly unprecedented weather phenomena. How do I make out with my crush tho

This isn’t the most eloquent way to express it, but thank fuck for the arts Thank fuck for books Thank fuck for drawing and painting Thank fuck for movies Thank fuck for video games Thank fuck for all the creatives out there who will help us cope the next 4 years whether by escapism or a rally cry

Nikita Gill.

Okay, so what are some of folks' favorite animated music videos? I've got Daft Punk and Gorillaz covered o'course, but I wanna branch out and see what other folks have dug!

The reason Hourly Comic Day is my favorite because I love the glimpses into everyone’s everyday mundane!! And I also love that there’s always a handful of people that draw what they’re eating and usually, it’s the most detailed panel the entire day haha

In the wake of the fires, LA production is hurting even more than before. People can’t afford to live here if there isn’t work here. Sign our petition at the link in bio STAYinLA.org and share #STAYinLA widely. (And thank you to hireyoungprofessionals.com for designing our campaign!)

@maximilianreid.bsky.social also shared this too, to help me feel better about how I’ve been handling life lately, and I hope it can help some of you. It’s a quickie, and will hopefully make you smile: www.thisislindaholmes.com/blog/2025/1/...

Woof-a-roni and cheese, this felt so good to read. I’ve been struggling with how I’ve been coping with the last couple of weeks, feeling like I’m not enough to save the world or even my loved ones but this settles my heart. 💛

Bracing myself for having to follow friends from work on here instead of IG so I can sneak peeks at their art and dogs... they're gonna see my goblin-hood in text form and it's much less aesthetic this way and I am scared.

Let's do something different than we did 2016-2020. We already know it's an outrage. The decisions coming from the top should come as neither shock nor surprise. Waste no breath on debates. They will not change. Let's turn to our communities. Unite. Grow strong. Fight the fights that matter.

Go make the art you’ve always wanted to make. Write the stories you’ve been dreaming of. Sing your heart out. Pick up an instrument & play. Do the things you’ve been holding back on because you’re worried about what others might think. Just do it. Do it now. Life is short. Life is precious. Please.

Just… the moments and atmosphere instilled in these pieces and the design detail! My brain can’t design so I’m just drinking in all this!

I had to scroll so far in my feed to find this, but I’ve been thinking about that cup of coffee all day. The nuances in the colors creating texture and depth is just so aaahhhhh so good!

The bold colors! The mastery of black and white! Crispy lineart!

I’ve been a follower for a while and the delicate and exacting detail in each piece is breathtaking!!

I always love a super textured food piece, and the contrast of colors here have me salivating.

Way back in my d3viantart days, I used to leave comments on people’s art that spoke to what I liked and how it made me feel — and a lot of times the artist would respond and it made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. It’s something I lost with using social media, but I want to try to bring it back!

I’m such a sucker for hot pink against blue/purple but dang, the stories they are told in a single image here is 👌
