I think we need to accept more that indie animation is the result of a system bleeding out its talent and not trusting them with the resources to create things that audiences want, combined with insane levels of unbeforeseen unemployment.

"the problem with Indie Animation " Has only watched 5 popular indie shows. " I don't want indie animation to make me cringe " " I want more indie animation " Only showcases 5 popular indie shows you don't like.

I love to bake but find cooking really hard and my friends are like “oh but baking’s hard for me!” I don’t believe you!! Baking recipes tell you EXACTLY what to do down to the grain of flour! Meanwhile cooking recipes are like “cook til done. Flavor to taste” WHAT DO YOU MEEEEEEAN

Apropos of I am VERY mad for a friend: If you have not made a comic book before and are coming from other media writing, GET A COMICS EDITOR. Comics looks easy. There are 1,000 sins you will commit if you haven't written a comic before and an editor will save your ass.

One of the nicest things about having been online for long time is being able to see artists I’ve followed for ages, still making art and having that love and spark for what they do.

🦅 SAVIN THE EAGLES 🦅 I’m running a short campaign to aid some local eagles. I’ve had it with billionaires taking over habitats and this one is in my very own backyard. Reposting also helps a lot, if you don’t have funds to spare.

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

so many people want to work. so many want to use their skills to create something that has meaning and expresses an idea, that takes parts of them and others around them to make something that is greater than the individual components. but the people with all the money don't care. it's maddening.

If you've been considering buying my prints, subscribing to my Patreon, or just supporting me with a cup of coffee - I'd be very, very grateful! 💛 I'm facing major dental work, including a root canal, so I'd like to raise some funds for that! ->

Like many creatives here I'm in danger of becoming extinct as increasing numbers of clients feed from the trough of AI slop. So I'll be promoting my posters etc a bit more. If you could support me by buying something or spreading the love that would be fab. Have a Great Tit to start the weekend. xx

If I was a bird I see myself as a Bird of Paradise. Unfortunately most of my friends and family think I'm more of one of these chaps: A Great Tit! xx

If you want to make art but don't think you're good enough just do it anyway. You're gonna suck for a while. That's fine. Just keep doing it. Keep creating. Make characters. Make settings. Tell stories. Just keep creating.
