if even the public broadcaster isn’t going to put in the effort to find and platform canadian voices, we’re truly screwed. you’d think the past year would’ve got them to rethink how much they fetishize US news and US voices.

Games Industry plant

funny how there's all this discussion about what counts as "indie" in games right now, just as it's also happening in animation. as usual, while games criticism has plenty of its own problems it's still further ahead than animation, which I've always said needs that middle tier (AA games)

not me picking up my phone to see happy birthday messages and be like ' is this spam-' Anyway this is what happens when my calendar doesn't put my own birthday as an event on the day, I forget. I THOUGHT I HAD NOTHING TO DO TODAY. DANG. NOW I GOTTA DO A THING.

Sometimes you got to brew yourself a cup.

watched Apex with my neighbours after a mothers day bbq. Theres a lot of things that dont make physical sense about the movie, but the biggest disconnect is expecting me to believe that Charlize Theron's character was supposed to be in any way threatened by Taron Egerton.

My piece for the remix exchange! The farming sim AU from Lockleaf Heart by aibari but played straight. Or well, as much as such a thing is possible. archiveofourown.org/works/83683281

My annual Mother's Day post. Because some people had great mothers but lost them, some had or have mothers who never mothered them or stopped mothering them for some reason, treated them as adversaries or as worthless, and Mother's Day can be a punitive day for all those for whom this is true.

Listen to Charles Schulz, in his own words. This shit is a literal affront to what he believed in and his craft.

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

Like every Mother's Day today I am asking that you consider a donation to @nationalbailout.bsky.social to help free mamas who are separated from their families by the injustices of pretrial detention systems. secure.actblue.com/donate/freeb...

A selection of alien eggy designs I produced for Subnautica: Below Zero :) Tried to capture a creatures' egg essence.

"Syrenka: Legend of the Warsaw Mermaid" is a 2D animated feminist retelling of a Polish folktale.🧜‍♀️⚔️ Directed by Tina Nawrocki @tinanawrockiart.bsky.social Please support our indie production and its artists today! tinyurl.com/SyrenkaFilm/

Also adding that there has been reporting for years now on how AI companies exploit people. Experts on linked in may be the newer intake, but this entire system has been maintained by exploitative labor for pennies.

always love seeing @karenhao.bsky.social on @moreperfectunion.bsky.social not that we need more reasons to not use gen A*I or LLMS. I hate that this has done so much damage and is just used for people to avoid writing their own emails or drawing their own art or like, grab a basic stock photo.

I had forgotten how much light there is in the world, till you gave it back to me.

I sneakily put my mother into the background of a hilda shot, (and me and my brother as kids) as a lil easter egg to her memory - Since shes the reason I'm here. whenever you see a character in the background thats got more details on them its PROBABLY a crew member lmfao

My mom. Cant remember a time where she wasnt making something. Crafts, clothes, paintings, music. She got into videogames as a career, I got into animation. Very classic way to get into art, and something I've always been blessed for.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms who believe that streets must and can be safe for kids. 💐

A rock is a good thing, too, you know. If the Isles of Earthsea were all made of diamond, we'd lead a hard life here. Enjoy the illusions, lad, and let the rocks be rocks.

I'm really rusty :( trying to draw quifreys though #artpost #witchhatatelier

A visitor to Ottawa posted this in the subreddit. THIS IS A REAL PHENOMANA SO UNIQUE TO THIS CITY. Someone has to study it fr-realsies cuz its cant be as simple as just like..our transit is embarrassing for the capital city, and it expects everyone to drive. Anyway lets vote smart this fall🤘

Went shopping with my neighbor and spent our afternoon cleaning up the back area and doing some gardening. I'm going to have a lil fountain/water garden on the patio stone. I got thin layer of bark mulch on top to make it a lil cleaner from the rest of the brush. We're gonna get more later.

Some more work for the @avantris.bsky.social kickstarter promotional music video! These were some of the first shots I had been assigned in the project and some of the last ones to finish, there was a lot of back and forth to get these exactly where they needed to be!

On this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread, I wanna talk CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS. There’s no hard and fast rules. No one way to do it. But there are things you can do to set up your characters in the reader’s mind that I think are more and less effective. First, some things I don’t like… 🧵1

Creativity is not measured in productivity nor efficiency.

I will pay an editorial cartoonist to create this for The Handbasket. email/msg on signal if interested.

Cowynn doesnt really tolerate being deshedded, just trying to get the floof out while he squirms looks like I took a bath in the lint-trap.

You cannot buy the revolution. You cannot make the revolution. You can only be the revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere.

I have metastasized breast cancer that resulted in two brain tumors, since removed. I've lost vision and get chronic migraines. All my books are written solely by me, with 10 fingers and 85% of a brain. No AI needed. The answer to disability isn't AI, it's community.

We all need a boost today. So as a special treat, we’re unveiling in public for the first time, The Daily Tism book, illustrated by the incredible @smolrobots.bsky.social , coming out for Christmas! Crowdfunder with pre-orders coming in the next week, so keep your eyes peeled!

I am all for indie animation giving the community energy and hope and the oldbies some confusion and fear, but if we don't improve our process of our projects or how we treat people (and ourselves), nothing is going to improve. we cant have another 'work 12h days because this show MATTERS' culture

Introducing @riyogames.bsky.social! ⚔️ This talented, Canadian-based indie studio has a passion for retro RPGs and memorable stories... They're currently working on Threads of Time, with inspiration from some genre classics, and we couldn't be more excited for the future!

This is why I have no concerns about the future of animation cuz people are always out here doing what needs to be done.

Such a beautiful show. They pulled from the original, made it their own, and then elevated it by a million. Had to sketch my favorite character. #trigunstampede

The Liberal government is giving billions in public handouts to oil companies to build a techno-fix to the climate crisis. @desmondcole.bsky.social breaks down how the supposed solution is actually just cover for endless fossil fuel production. youtu.be/OlHT_ITCw9U?...

I truly believe that the baby steps add up mentally for us as individuals too. I honestly cannot believe how much I have cancelled in the last five years just from doing a bit at a time and aligning other life changes toward it

I want to highlight a particular quote from this excellent interview, which resonates with my view on how a good TV writers room should be run. When I first led a room, I’d heard a lot about how hierarchical some writers rooms were; that lower-rung writers and non-writers couldn’t pitch as often.
