Ahh! I love love love Amano’s work! This year I made a tiny Over the Garden Wall fan game, with the help of @patrickmchale.bsky.social, @forkfrenzy.bsky.social, @blastingcompany.bsky.social & Elijah Wood! It’s free to play in browser on itch.io! juliaminamata.itch.io/otgw

sorry to spoil the big reveal on wed but

The voice of Sara in OTGW, @emilybrundige.bsky.social (and also the creator of Goldie on Apple TV+) is doing a kickstarter to fund an animatic for her new cartoon concept, Strawberry Vampire! Check it out here! www.kickstarter.com/projects/762...

Strawberry Vampire: A Pilot Animatic by Emily Brundige

I'm bringing my new original show, Strawberry Vampire, to life with a fully voiced, professionally storyboarded animatic.

There's about one more hour until this auction ends (to raise money for those affected by LA fires). shorturl.at/lYISv includes original over the garden wall storyboards, development artwork, art books, comics, and... this guy...

HEY! I've got a bunch of stuff in @alexhirsh.bsky.social 's auction to raise money for the LA fires! Original concept drawings from OTGW pilot, rough storyboards, ugly copies of my out-of-print book BAGS, a little wooden guy, limited edition art books & comics, goofy sketches, etc! shorturl.at/lYISv

Just got a batch of "Through the Boughs" in the mail! I did a comic in here with @jimcampbellart.bsky.social and J.K. @nickcross.bsky.social did one of the covers! If you want a copy you can get 'em over this way: dstlry.co/products/thr...

could i get any recommendations for alternatives to ipad for animation/storyboard/painting purposes? i'd like something with a good pressure-sensitivity, accurate color, can be used on its own but can also double as a external monitor (cintiq style). also want to be able to remove all web browsers.

all these sweet people. a video interview of folks who worked on Over the Garden Wall talk about their experiences on the show. ❤️ everyone on this call was a joy to work with and helped keep me sane while show-running. www.youtube.com/live/_XmXynt...

Here are some sketches I did to explore the "ugliest tree in the world" for that new OTGW short.

I haven't really used bluesky much yet. Here are early brainstorming sketches & notes i drew & wrote when trying to think of ideas for that new OTGW short. I think i have more somewhere but i put them into a box already.

some years ago i started an e-mailing list called "someb ooks fun club" to post fun little things, but i only sent 1 or 2 emails because it creeped me out how much mailchimp was tracking people. anyway, here's some free funclub content.
