Hey #PortfolioDay, my name is Sam Tung and I am a storyboard artist/director/writer whose art has helped make things you love like THE ODYSSEY, X-MEN '97, METROID PRIME 4, and ESCAPE FROM DINO ISLAND. My short film KNIGHTS & RELATIONSHIPS is a banger. Please hire me to make stuff for you!!

Back in the old days, this would just mean that the price crashes and the $3,000 sound system from ten years ago now costs $300, but that's not allowed to happen anymore so here we are.

This is about folding phones but it's a perfect explanation of why everything is so shit.

As Anthropic prepares to IPO for over $1 trillion, a reminder of Dario Amodei’s words soon after founding the company: “Distributed human labor is being used to train AI models by large, centralized actors, who concentrate the resulting profits while in the long run making the human labor obsolete”

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING was wild, head still swimming. Strange, surprising, so Fielder, really enjoyed it Been a great year for movies #filmsky

Some Halloween art I still like

Cover for AT MIDNIGHT, WE MASH, a one-shot TTRPG by Sam Roberts It’s Halloween night and the ghouls and ghosts from across the land have arrived at Boris’s castle for the biggest bash of the year. Get it for free at samnite.itch.io/at-midnight-... !

Went to an interesting Amy Ellingson talk today (she does abstract art digitally, recreates it w paint, mosaic, etc) I've been thinking a lot lately (AI era, Hollywood contraction) about art divorced from screen Anyway no time/money to get an MFA, who's paying for all of this, but it's on my mind

I had to go on Twitter to confirm this was real because Ship Awesome Games In A Weekend having a hand with six fingers was so on the nose I was about to pass out

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

I'm drawing some 1970s baseball hijinks for a tabletop RPG and man I gotta say... still love makin art, even if the finances for it right now are Not Great

"Just go indie" is always an insane take. Going indie doesn't A) give me healthcare B) guarantee a safe work environment C) guarantee even a paycheck at all. To truly "go indie" is purely for the love of the game. And you still need an actual job.

The expectation that any creative or intellectual pursuit should be able to be accomplished without friction (or tedium or expense) is frankly absurd. Putting work—energy, brainpower, hours of practice and study—into your chosen pursuit is what makes it worthwhile, makes it joyful

Sent in a pitch/application for a short film grant. Always a long shot, but man it was real fun to write, draw, and think about making movies.

😭 Baseball I had a lot of fun this season, watched the majority of games, made it to three in person at three different ballparks. We'll get 'em next year, Dodgers ⚾🧢🌭

I had the honor of painting the cover of James Brennan's new novel, FLAMES OF DAWN! How do cool pirates pull a world together after a rebellion? FIND OUT!

the fundamental thing wrong with this ai-driven "hyper personalization" pipe dream is that your preferences are constantly changing, primarily in response to experiencing things that are different from your current preferences and expectations, through this little-known process called Living.

union person@junlper.beer

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted
