When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”

For anyone saying "just go indie" as a solution to the current state of the animation industry, here's a personal truth. Over the past several years, I've helped create, written for, and voiced in some of the biggest indie animated shows out there. Guess what? I still live paycheck to paycheck.

Lrt-- people seem to have a naive view of how much animation costs.. the reason it costs millions is because the budget must cover the salary, distribution, AND advertising. Let's say the minimum wage is 50k/year, you have 20 ppl working for a year, that's ONE MILLION alone on JUST production!

The (very animated) animatics by Portuguese duo Barracrewda (Anthony Rodrigues & Hasan Hulaj) are always a pleasure to see. Their latest is for "Sworn" game trailer. www.instagram.com/barracrewda www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssha...

I am always surprised how enjoyable it is to have to rewrite all my character/threads/chapter info for a new solo rpg journal. It gives me time to process the previous chapters and make alterations/corrections/deletions to proceed with the game. #solorpg #ttrpg #illustratedjournaling

“You have a sword, sheathed at your hip. You can unsheathe it whenever you want. You must never unsheathe it.” “Unsheathe your blade and immediately kill the person in front of you. Then, remove your character from the game. You cannot play them any longer.”

Networking in comics is vital. I would have no career without my connections. But what many misunderstand is that it is not about finding someone higher up on the ladder and trying to use them to move up. It is about finding pals on the same rung, and form a little squad that lifts each other up.

This whole quote from @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social’s #emergentstrategy is the energy I’m taking into this #PiscesNewMoon and our event on Thursday night. We need to dream new dreams together, weave new visions and stories with one another’s - and this New Moon equips us to do just that ✨⛅️🌈🎨

mccarthyism, or the red scare, was basically a sort of... deliberate pruning out of literally anyone who could be considered too leftist, it was brutal. People were fired and eschewed from their friends/family/community just to avoid the association with them. it's why the US is so far right imho

the first rule of player feedback is that players are not game designers. you are the fucking game designer. players don't know the first thing about game design nor do they know what they actually want until you do the work and give it to them. if we listened to players everything would be fortnite

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

If you want to understand how we got here, you have to understand Christian Nationalism. It's the permission structure that justifies all of this harm and hate in the minds of so many Americans. Here's a reading list to get you started: bookshop.org/lists/unders...

DC and Marvel crossing over is back in the news, so now’s a good time to share my oral history of 1996’s DC vs. Marvel crossover, and the Amalgam universe that was born from it. This is one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever done. I loved it so.

I and several other artists have found this chart to be quite handy, so I figured I'd give it it's own post and pin it. As someone who is currently shooting lots of portrait-orientation Instax Wide (1:1.6 aspect ratio), this makes me happy.

Oh, crud. Just thought of next year’s zinequest: you play as mimics exploring the overworld in search of resources/treasures to protect your ancient/lost dungeon from adventurers coming from the encroaching civilization.
