It's been a rough week personally and nationally, but you know things are getting real when @techconnectify.bsky.social (aka the air conditioner/dishwasher guy) breaks kayfabe. Worth watching to the end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

Okay so here is an abridged version of my story with HW.

We (me and @moonsheen.bsky.social) never submitted to Hiveworks. We were wined and dined and talked into it. I agreed mostly because neither me nor Alex had it in us to run our own shop and that was the only thing I allowed HW to do.
The Hiveworks Artist Guild has released a public statement alleging years of labor abuses, financial mismanagement, and misconduct at Hiveworks at the hands of Xellette “Xel” Velamist and Isabelle “Isa” Melançon. Read their full statement at:

Everyone tries to tell you apathy is cool, but the sooner you learn earnestness is strength not cringe and that all your quirks are what people will fall in love with, the sooner learn how to define your own happiness and find true friends who love youf for you
you have to be sincere and you have to get weird with it

Everything in animation, from the roughest sketch, to the beautiful backgrounds, is done with intention. People pour the tears from their minds eye into each frame, and I can't express how much every part of it is human experience. It is layers upon layers upon layers of choices and interpretations.
Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️

Artists create universes from nothing.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

I've seen Frankenstein twice. Going to see it again. Love it. Adore it. Definitely will be coming back to this film again and again.

Revisiting old sketches while I have some downtime, and managed to fix this old doodle of @ashworks.bsky.social 's dude Dzan.

I feel like he's maybe become a bit too used to running for his life...

I’ve been on medical leave (I wasn’t okay, I will be) and have been working through a quasi-gothic, 19th century, and high school/university literature reading journey. Teen me and early adult me would never. I’ve always loved gothic themes, but assigned reading was never my strong suit (ADHD).

I've had an uptick in folks asking if there will be a HELLAWEEN 3, and that's dependent on you!

I REALLY WANT TO and have a story ready to go+ my colorist is in... but if publishers aren't going to market, and I can only do so much myself— word of mouth is gold to me! ESPECIALLY while its October!

I know it's a brand new month but if you have a few coins to spare, this is a disabled trans bud, just forced from his home, who could really REALLY use a bit of help!

I will continue to encourage anyone who listens to start a journal instead of spewing their half-formed reactionary ideas at unsuspecting strangers on the internet.
