Feel free to draw my demon girl and her ironically Christian girlfriend. I’d be interested in seeing your take on them. 👀

I know almost nothing about Frieren aside from that meme drawing of her looking up and that art challenge going around on social media. To be fair this is a hard angle to draw.

I finally got around to watching Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.
Once again Del Toro has shown that he is one of my favorite filmmakers ever and one of the best in his field. 🥺

One of my favorite fun facts about Angel’s Egg is that the anime has had such a messy history with US distribution that at one point Roger Corman got his hands on the rights to do so, but realized the average person wouldn’t get any of it, so he filmed a live action movie and spliced in the footage.

I just found out my younger brother, who’s unemployed, has been selling prints and Christmas ornaments featuring AI art, and even after scolding him on why that’s bad, he gave such shitty excuses on why he thinks that’s okay.
I’ve never been so disappointed in one of my family members man.

Me: “Uh…. I was playing video games that night. I was playing Portal.”

Hey y'all, kind of a last minute announcement, but I'll be at Lightbox Expo tomorrow and I'll probably be in the area on Sunday! If you see a big tall person dressed in black with pins featuring my profile pic, that's probably me.

Ten years later I wonder if Marty’s use of time travel is the reason why we don’t have cool stuff like flying cars, hoverboards, a Queen Diana, and Pepsi that’s still sold in glass bottles.

I came across that one viral clip of The Detroit Lions interviewing one of their fans whose a kid asking them what cartoons he watches, where he's asks what cartoons are because he only watches YouTube stuff. As an animator I feel like I aged ten years watching this clip. 🥲

Hey there. One of my industry peers has a friend in Gaza who needs help. The fighting is over (for now), but their struggling to survive and rebuild. Rewaida found out her aunt is still alive, but is in critical condition. Any donations you can send her way would mean the world to them.
