I’m out of state for a little so while I’m here… Bluesky suuucks! Texas sucks more! I’m not giving any of these for the sake of social media when I am most certainly not a child. This is complete nonsense.

When I got to visit and tour Cartoon Saloon last year, this is what they were animating on the second floor. I am very excited to see that come full circle and can’t wait to watch Julián when it releases.

What the heck, why is the Among Us show actually this good? The humor is on point and the clues line up perfectly for the whodunnit aspect. What I wouldn’t give to write on a show like that

I’m finally watching season 4 of Vox Machina and maaan. Episode 9 is maybe the best of the series so far. It’s everything I love about the show.

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Hey everyone, I'm excited to say that I finally opened a Ko-Fi shop. I'll be selling a few items I've featured at conventions like stickers, keychains, and pins, as well as custom brushes & a few digital prints. Check the link if you're interested:

I think a lot more shows should be greenlit with this mentality. Target audience? Ehhh probably that gaggle of weirdos over there? Plus myself. I’m also in the gaggle of weirdos.

I’m making a scavenger hunt for my brother and his girlfriend and I am fully channeling Sam Reich while I write the clues. I can see why he loves making Game Changer so much. This is incredible.

What makes the greatest art of literally any kind is intentionality. Every scene, every detail, every word all has to be intentionally put there by someone. Ai can’t do anything but rob you of those choices. It tosses everything together based on what the algorithm says other people are doing.

Lmao, I don't forgive you, you knew full well about Gen AI and how its effecting the Animation Industry, aswell as how its destroying the enviroment and yet you still bought in. Not to mention your weird creepy misogynistic analogy about using Gen Ai in animation which you've yet to apologise for.

Jorge R. Gutierrez has announced he is dropping out of Amazon’s AI program and will no longer be making the animated series Punky Duck. “I promise to do better moving forward. Thank you for your patience with me.”

Good!! Doesn’t change how we’ll see him though. You can’t heel turn on every artist everywhere by celebrating the grift one second, then back out of it just as soon as you get backlash for it and pretend it’s all patched up perfectly.

He’s gonna have to re-earn the respect from creatives he tossed away. Can he recover? I dunno. I don’t think it’ll ever be quite like it was, even if this is eventually swept away.

I really don’t get it. Jorge spoke up for artists and specifically against ai for so long. It’s hitting harder than I think it should haha

Idk guys, I think the fact that a guy synonymous with supporting creatives of all experience levels and backgrounds in the animation industry and indie who makes unapologetically personal art suddenly heel turning to become an ai sellout with a deeply concerning analogy to boot is getting to me

RJ Palmer@rj-palmer.com

He seems to have bought in(or more likely been bought) pretty hard

Specifically the guy who calls out the worst parts of Hollywood now joining in the new shiny ai grift with such passion! It’s not looking good.

“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.

Three AI animated series are heading to Prime Video streaming via Amazon MGM/AWS-backed GenAI Creators' Fund: 'Cupcake & Friends;' 'Love, Diana Music Hunters;' and 'Punky Duck' from Jorge Gutierrez.

Hey creatives: Folks will remember. If you were aggressively against AI, like Gutierrez was as recent as last year, and then suddenly turn around and go NO I GET IT NOW IT'S AMAZING as soon as you get a project with a big payday? Your peers will not forget that. You will never be trusted again.

I have been a playtester for Spirit Crossing for about a year now, and I really really love it! Join us in the Crosslands! Ride a fluffalo (flying llama, obviously)! Squeeze a hopping blob into ink and turn fish into paper! Normal stuff happens here and it’s great.

oh!! hi #WishlistWednesday 🦊 if you haven't yet heard, we're working on a social MMO called Spirit Crossing. it's full of spirits, NPCs, tiny bears, and of course, other players! we're gearing up for our Open Beta on PC + you can wishlist now on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2321960/...

Eyo this is too cool! Big fan of when it breaks out of the aspect ratio and I need more of it. Does anything else do this?

"Solo" animated feature film now being developed by Toni Mortero & Hampa Studio (Spain), based on Oscar Martin's comic book. By reusing 3D/Blender animations originally created for the promo of "Cannibal World" board game, they edited a trailer with English subs. >> www.instagram.com/p/DXPg9AcjM3_/

GNOME SHOW!!

Catsuka@catsuka.bsky.social

"Gnome Show", an original series project created by Cas van de Pol (known for his parody videos). Pilot episode >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9Do... He's used to working with other indie animators, and I note that Mehdi Alibeygi has joined his team here.

A theory I’ve had for a bit is this film will feature Godzilla more as a force of nature or neutral force than the nuclear war allegory of the first, hence the “Minus Zero.” Then in a potential 3rd film, Godzilla would be the more recent heroic or protective figure for a “Godzilla Plus One”

Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co

First trailer for ‘Godzilla Minus Zero’ In theaters November 6

Whether this is a good or bad theory, I dunno. Whether it should happen, I know even less. But the naming scheme seems rather interesting to me considering why the first is named as it is.

WE GOT EPISODE 3!!! AHHH!!!

This project is made by humans, ive seen the comment quite a bit but this is not AI at all we drew everything from scratch and i painted the Glass mosaics, I'm working on getting a composer and Sound team on board next. Thank you for supporting our Indie animation project!

It’s kind of comforting to see every kind of artist suffers from this. There’s always the slog of feeling awful about your work before it really clicks. Or even if it doesn’t click, you’ll learn from it! My worst drafts and scripts have led to my best! Making something is always always worth it.

At some point you are going to have a moment where you think "Does this suck? Am I just wasting my time? Why would anyone read this? " that's the devil talking, he's telling you that you need to sleep and drink water, and then reread your comic with clear eyes. You'll remember why you're doing it.

This is that pineapple hat meme because reading it in high school, all my friends made jokes about turning this guy into glue. The moment this movie does it, I’m out.
