Absolutely heartbroken to hear about Eric Bauza. What a kind man and immense talent. Our condolences to all his friends and family.

The first Gen AI ad I saw that showed a use case scenario was a person had to read a screenplay and then didn't, so they trick the person they're meant to do this for into thinking they did. The entire purpose of this technology is to trick people and it turns out no one likes being tricked.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

always retweet the no hustle mizuki comic forever

Iaculus@iaculus.bsky.social

It was Shigeru Mizuki - comic artist, antiwar activist, folklore archivist, and general cultural titan.

Fantastic news. A rising tide lifts all boats.

Good news for voice actors. SAG-AFTRA’s new TV animation deal includes wage hikes, AI protections, and better residuals. Imagine if the artists responsible for characters’ entire physical performances got residuals, too. www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-right...

If you like Nathan For You and Safdie movies, may I interest you in post-season baseball? The most stressful, nerve wracking stuff I've ever seen in my life.

We’re partying like it’s 2010!!!!

Yeah I was at the Mewtallica concert last night! They played all my favorites, like "Master of Puppies" and "For Whom the Bell Toy With a Feather Tolls". I had a Pabst Blue Kitten at the bar, too... maaan what a night... 🐱 🤘 🐾 Topa.to/beckyandfrank | @beckyandfrank.com 🐾

Sorry but a perfect adaptation already exists

Robert Eggers is set to direct a new film adaptation of ‘ROMEO AND JULIET’. The film will feature the actors speaking in Olde English. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)

Disney has appointed Character AI CEO Karandeep Anand as its first company-wide CTO, putting an outspoken generative AI evangelist in charge of the company's AI platforms, data, and engineering teams. www.cartoonbrew.com/artificial-i...

I would have bought the new Professor Layton and Yokai Watch on Day 1. They’re clearly both AI slop now and their CEO is suffering from AI psychosis so I guess I’ll never be buying another product from them.

Looking for an alternative to my current postage label printer. I currently have a Dymo 4XL and switching out the labels is incredibly annoying. Would love to find something where I can easily switch rolls and sizes.

Since I think it's been online on YouTube long enough and I don't think I'm gonna get more than the $5-6 from it from the last few years of views, and the fact there's longer uploads here on Bluesky now, here's the entirety of my short film 'Snif & Snüf'. Watch and enjoy!

This is happening at a time where YouTube is making it harder for creators to get paid. Wonder why they're looking elsewhere? It's not hard! Just pay people!

YouTube is reportedly offering some of its biggest creators millions of dollars to keep their content away from Netflix. YouTube may also limit certain opportunities for creators who release the same content on both platforms.

When Becky graduated from college we did a visit at Cartoon Network Atlanta with this amazing artist Ed Murrietta, who was head of consumer products. He showed us a closet full of the coolest CN merchandise you could imagine, the only problem was none of the big toy companies wanted to make them.

Aaron J. Waltke@goodaaron.bsky.social

Believe it or not, there is exclusive merch for the TV shows and films we creatives work on that we’ll never recieve. It’s for marketing only — and I’m supremely jealous of the cool swag some folks get! (Not complaining! Just an observation during this hallowed Comic Con week.)

Does anyone have a favorite iPad stand for drawing? I've seen a few cases that are also stands, which may be best since I draw in a variety of places? There's so many options!

Becky here! I worked on this design! I’ll post some of my concept art shortly!

SungWon Cho@prozdishere.bsky.social

I voice SIR CAPTAIN LIEUTENANT BERKELEY HAYWARD SAN LORENZO in WE BABY BEARS, this character is literally a child's OC come to life and he was an absolute hoot to play, the show's out now on HBO Max

Ryan is right!!! Storyboards are the STORY, if you use AI for it you are cutting out the STORY portion of the STORY you are telling.

Ryan Pequin@ryanpequin.bsky.social

Yeah, nothing “cheaper or faster” about replacing board artists with AI. No harm no foul!!!
