James Baxter is one of the only living animators on planet earth that could make a joke about squash and stretch/follow-through animation this good. I lost my shit at the extreme smear bit when Gumball turns around.

The Ellison family’s desire to take over Warner Bros should alarm anyone concerned with U.S. propaganda & media consolidation—
They would own Paramount, Warner Bros, CNN, CBS, HBO, TikTok & a host of major cable channels

But the memes are somehow still worth it right gang
Gov. @gavinnewsom says he disagrees with Mayor @zohrankmamdani about the need for a wealth tax on billionaires, which he is “adamantly against” - says Dems are a “big tent party” with both views.

the thing about the roblox interview is that he's more or less just saying out loud what every social media & gacha CEO has been doing for the last 10+ years. selling kids gambling with the minimal legally allowed guardrails is hot profits rn

I think it's normal for your art style to gradually change if you receive inspiration from various things every day and incorporate them into your drawing.
Sometimes someone say, "I liked your previous art style better."
Even if you say that, I can't stop my art style from changing every day.

The worst part of AI imagery is how it takes so much attention away from real art. I understand people should be ripping on AI images all the time, because they look like garbage, but youre also making me look at it when I'd rather be enjoying real art

Big Update on the the sketchy "Disney artist" that was stealing credit and tracing from many in the art community.
He has filed fake DMCA claims on multiple youtubers, and now is treating me with a defamation lawsuit despite the mountain of evidence against him.
