I am listening to tom bombadil's theme song a normal amount of times, every day, ok

I find so many artists I've never seen before when researching ref on every single painting I make. This is the way we make connections. Using genAI to make reference is creating unseen missed opportunities at unprecedented speed and removing one more human element of art making.

Took my headphones off and switched to speakers so my cat could also listen to nick cave, happy caturday

Stop everything you're doomscrolling about and watch this right NOW Very fun indie animation from Wisdom and team. For me as an old trigun anime enjoyer, I ate this up 🥹 can't wait to see more

I can't thank enough all the animators on this project for bringing my little dog to life. A lot of indie animators whose work I follow and love a whole lot too! I knew what was coming, but the final product is still leaving me speechless. Thank you to all who worked on this! YOURE THE BEST

I'm looking for stories about how AI is killing creative work, and I'd love to hear from you—artists, writers, illustrators, actors, designers, editors, voice actors and narrators—if your job or practice has been hit. This is going to be a big one. [email protected]

Just FYI, I did my first traditional painting for Magic 7 years ago. I’ve been experimenting with various mediums and techniques ever since. 7 YEARS for me to finally find an approach that I think I’m satisfied with. So…be patient with yourself and fall in love with the creation process itself.

I'M STARTING A 100% FREE ANIMATION COURSE :D This free animation course consists of three distinct phases. Each phase takes 12 weeks individually. With a sliding scale of engagement. The basic course will teach you what you need but there will always be more materials to engage with!

The indie animator cycle is like this: don't animate anything for a while, start to think i should do something else with my life (like find financial stability), animate again, get incredible euphoria I will literally never stop because the last step goes too hard

Ah yes, the eternal question 💀 The last meme you saved is your moral philosophy

An older sketch from late 2023. From the film "High Life", an amazing cosmic horror that stuck with me #digitalpainting #sketch #highlife

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

A few oil painting close-ups from The Axolotl Parade 🌿 Photos never quite do a painting justice, so I hope these short videos help give a better feel for the textures and details. #AxolotlArt #OilPaintingDetails #FantasyArt #AnimalIllustration #AmphibianArt

David Lynch said that filmmaking should be fun & joyful. Of course it can be hard work. Of course the work itself can encompass all kinds of pain & painful truth. But the act of creation itself should be full of joy. I think about that all the time. RIP David Lynch. You are immortal.

Honestly after doing a ton of background layouts recently, i resent wes anderson for taking the one point perspective from the rest of us

Keep in mind that the cuts to Medicaid don’t go into effect until late 2026 conveniently after the midterm elections. Do not be fooled. Vote these ghouls out. Show up and VOTE in the midterms.
