And with that, I think it's worth mentioning I am currently looking for work! If anyone has any leads on opportunities I'd greatly appreciate a heads up or forwarding my information along. I prefer TAG gigs cuz I need healthcare hours, but I'll work on whatever I'm fit for. :]!

I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams

swapping programs is like swapping from oil paint to watercolor.... and if you have a full supply of oils, a team who specializes in oils, and a client that is expecting oil paintings in a few months..
we cant just be reprogrammed! it takes time to make new workflows, muscle memory and nuances

Also everyone suggesting software like Procreate Dreams, Toonsquid, or Calipeg… These are iPad only. There are extreme limitations to what they can do, especially when u consider that Flash is desktop software with lots of support.
For those suggesting piracy, that’s not the point. Grow up.

People love to hate Animate, but it's capable of doing things faster and cheaper than just about any other software out there.
Harmony is a much more powerful program, but for basic tasks you use a hammer, and Animate was that hammer. As we know, Adobe hates its customers.

I’ve decided it’s time to publically shame software that makes me want to rip something to shreds.

Has anyone else noticed the huge lack of artist spaces online? How difficult it actually is to find like-minded people who share your tastes? How hard it seems to not only find, but keep track of resources?
It's cuz of the death of DeviantART, and that nothing has come close to replacing it.(1/18)🧵

I was watching @tastinghistory.bsky.social's episode about "Killer Pigs of the Middle Ages" last night and he made an offhanded comment/request about seeing Porky Pig as a wild boar and I thought... yeah, I'm bored enough for that LOL.
