I’m working on an animation with @wollymight.bsky.social, titled “Ampere’s Daemon: 1920!”. We’ve done a lot of design work so far, so I’ve compiled what we have and wrote about the design process! Stay tuned for more! ginadotexe.blog/post/8305735...

Lets go Sabres 😔🏳️

Wonderful friends that I love and admire are working on this! And it looks AMAZING!! Congrats to everyone involved for this whole season order!! 💛

Our artists made sure the colors of KOG are a treat to the eyes! Here's a peek at our color scripts 👀

i'm not 100% joking either. these group project pilots where everyone passes the same $20 back and forth is just not sustainable. it's nice to have a good looking pilot, but i'd rather adopt 60's Hanna Barbera practices and actually make shows, shows that don't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars

Reiko Okuyama was an artist who built Japanese animation. Among other things, she helped to shape Horus -- Isao Takahata's debut film. Okuyama was a top animator and Toei union member. Yet her commercial work never fully satisfied her, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/an-artist-...

1/2 - This Egyptian superhero is held together with local electrical cable. For Ramy El Gabry's 'Captain Shedeed,' artists in Cairo used local materials and clever puppet-making to bring an ordinary father’s extraordinary mission to life. www.cartoonbrew.com/series/capta...

lol Josh Allen is impossible

Agreed. The minute you’d ask people to pay for animation (especially for independent shows) is when you hear crickets. Unfortunately we forget that the money _has_ to come from somewhere. If we want to support ideas outside the standard entertainment companies, we need to find was to pay artists!

The Superman No Smoking Ad, but I lost the audio track and dubbed it from memory

From: The Jetsons (1962-1963), created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, Hanna-Barbera Productions The UPA animator Bobe Cannon had a big hand in this sequence

This isn’t even a “haha digital circus fandom bad” thing. In my opinion ALL fandoms are bad because the internet, by design, enables all sorts of zealotry and narcissism. “Fame” affords me a lot; more than most people can say. But also I need to maintain a healthy distance from it.

Disney Animation’s ‘Hexed’ will feature a hand-drawn 2D prologue telling the story of how the Kingdom of Hexe became a refuge for witches and wizards persecuted in the real world. Tyler Pacana, one of the studio’s few remaining 2D animators, animated the sequence.

3/3 - "We consider what we're doing an anomaly. You don't get to see much anime coming from South America." Bellolandia co-creator Nacho Malter discusses Electro Andes, Sudakuga, and the long road to Annecy in our latest feature: www.cartoonbrew.com/series/elect...

In 1980, Hayao Miyazaki felt creatively washed up. Then he read an American comic that amazed him. Its name: Rowlf. As he tried to adapt it into a movie, Miyazaki evolved and found a new approach that reshaped his work. We're looking into the story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/an-unmade-...

The Princess enjoys a dance at the royal ball

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

It took a while, but in a way the American animation scene is finally getting on the same page as what international animation has done already for the last 15 years, and it couldn’t have come sooner. It really feels like the broad perception of the medium here is slowly but gradually changing.

This is a use case for AI of which I heartily approve www.wired.com/story/ai-is-...

Working on the rough draft of the storyboards for the upcoming animation “Ampere’s Daemon: 1920!”. Ampere’s Daemon was focusing on his work until an incoming telegram caught his attention!

The exhaustion Caroline describes is one that I feel intimately as I work on my first project, @the-ascendants.bsky.social. I do think that passion is what carries you through! Write What Scares You by Caroline Beauley fairytalesbycaroline.substack.com/p/write-what...

Mine just arrived!

This is such an awesome series! The fact that it turns the idea of saving the Disney-esqe princess into a horror show is so interesting. Plus the animation is really great! Also, I loved the tribute to Luis De La Rosa at the end.

This amazing clip has reminded me of something that I think does need reminding: a few decades ago wasn't the stone age, Japan had the best AV tech in the 70s and 80s, and the principles of animation have been known and established for most of the 20th century.

Zatanna! Poison Ivy! O.M.A.C.! DC announces slate of new Black Label projects

hey if anyone needs a new domain i just found a good one

The Amazing Digital Circus gang never adventured as 15th and/or 16th Germen mercenaries ☹️ So I drew Pomni as a landsknecht:

To counter AI, an illustrator in Balbriggan offers to draw posters for barter. Lauren Fernandes noticed menus and flyers all over with the same sterile look, and thought: what if she could help out small businesses which can't afford creative work, usually?

Ok this thing is real close to done! For every donation in the next 45 minutes, I will draw on my up close & personal experience with the democratic process and post one (1) meme that embodies the experience of running for office Just in case any of you were thinking about it lmao

RE: https://sunny.garden/@wess/117356203366849272 This is a great idea! Would be interesting to see where everyone is now, who originally joined the forkiverse. So, everybody out there, if you are an ex-forkizen, give us a toot! #exforkizen #forkiverse #theforkiverse

Ahead of the release for “The Ascendants”, and given the recent share about Operation Blooming Onion, I wanted to shine a bit of a light on the human trafficking that still happens in the agricultural industry, and the people out there trying to fight it. bittersoutherner.com/feature/2022...

Yeah the biggest human trafficking bust in 21st century US history went down in 2021. Operation Blooming Onion. They took down a $200 million slavery ring in Georgia. 100% H2A visa workers who immigrated legally. This was HUGE NEWS for anyone who was paying attention to farm worker & labor issues.
