Excellent, an excuse to re-post one of my favourite Nichijou scenes:

This is why it's so important that we fight to keep physical media from disappearing

Good for this dude. If you’re not the parent of a ~6-to-13 year-old, you might not understand the hold that Dog-Man has on that portion of our society. At my kid’s book sale every copy of every book was sold out before his class even got there.

me today

everybody loves a game 😉 game changer season 7 begins april 7th

just now realized that i can finally post the mac video of all time

Time to get in the game. The Kickstarter campaign for Come Out and Play: The Queer Sports Project is live! This full-color #comics #anthology about #LGBTQ+ people and their love of #sports features the work of over two dozen comics creators! Back it today here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

Here's a reason for us to get out and VOTE locally here in Halifax, because the guy running for the Halifax MP seat for the Conservatives is a former Loblaws Corporate Executive of 11 years, Mark Boudreau. Please Vote y'all, we don't need a corporate executive managing us. #Halifax #HaliSky

Just having a little fun Pour one out for Joann's, Party City, Sears, RadioShack, Kmart, Toys R Us, etc etc etc

Chappell Roan’s The Giver, a song literally about lesbian topping she did as a country anthem cause she thought it was funny, used for Hockey Night in Canada’s opening tonight & it’s even funnier

Ever feel like just...? A rough animatic I made to channel some of the anxious energy I've had bottled up. 🗣️ Might come back to it later, but for now I'll slide it into the WIP folder. #procreate #animation #animatic #cathartic #scream #jobhunting

It’s almost midnight and I can’t sleep, which means it’s time for another round of “fun comics I’ve read lately, based on screenshots I’ve taken on my iPad”

There’s a great interview with Nick Park about Wallace And Gromit in last month’s Empire, and this bit in particular stood out. It sums up what artists have been trying to say about AI. The mistakes and the learning aren’t things to be bypassed, but a vital part of the process 🤟

And here's my first starter pack (filled too quickly!) of Canadian authors and illustrators of books for children and teens. Just because it bears repeating, like all good things. ❤️🇨🇦📚 go.bsky.app/2Ys743U

I needed this today

Okay, new post since I made an actual goal for this and next month. To summarize, I had a severe infection in dec that resulted in a medical nightmare & csf leak in my right ear. I've been out of work & recently caught covid. I'm trying to get back to work asap but need help ko-fi.com/portaltohades

Some little animations I made for my office awhile ago, that I still really like. 🌊 #art

Umbert and Misterman are BACK! We’re launching a Kickstarter MARCH 31 to fund UMBERT ACTUALLY!, a new series of informative shorts featuring your favorite pink and green husbands! You can wishlist the Kickstarter RIGHT NOW before it launches on MARCH 31! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jel...

holy shit yes

the original Odd Couple (animation by @zyblonius.bsky.social )

In my eyes, Sergio Pablos should be lauded as one of the greatest of all time, up there with James Baxter and Milt Kahl. One of my biggest inspirations in terms of integrating gestural articulation and naturalized acting. A prime example of what breathing life into animation looks like to me

OK, this was a fun drawing prompt that I used to do on Twitter, so... gimme a dog breed and a DnD class!

Late night thought: if I ever had to do an entire Smartypants-style PowerPoint presentation, it would be defending the ending of the Little Shop of Horrors movie musical and arguing that it's just as good as the stage musical's darker ending

Today, Halifax Regional Council voted to fund a 24/7 Community Crisis Diversion Pilot Service that will divert crisis calls away from police, priorizing the needs & safety of people in crisis. This is a big step for our community that has taken several years of advocacy at multiple levels. Yay!

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OWq... last week was the 10-year(!) anniversary of Jailbreak, the episode of Steven Universe that turned the whole show on its head and came out swinging with gay space rocks fighting facism and winning!

Time for some old work animation! First up, a bunch of rough animation scenes from the first season of Animaniacs, back in 2020. Enjoy! #animation #Animaniacs

Praise Ketchup Entertainment, we may get to see Coyote vs Acme after all!

Canadians, part of the proposed tariffs for April is a 25% tariffs on books. This would be devastating for Canada's book industry, with very little impact on the US. You can voice your opposition to this particular tariff using the form below: forms-formulaires.alpha.canada.ca/en/id/cm7upm...

Now that GIF's are easier to post, here's a little #pixelart anim I did based on the P'tit Belliveau song Secret Life of Frog. It's an absolutely bonkers fantasy themed frog song, and it inspired some classic RPG imagery in my mind. #pixelanim #frogs #jrpg

Little Shop of Horrors at Neptune was fantastic! I've rarely seen an audience lose their minds like they did at some of the reveals in this show. Go see it if you're in Halifax!

good morning

I'm thinking that as part of Canada's resistance to Trump, we should invite US scientists Trump is defunding to come work here, and create a big pot of money for them to do their work. We'd benefit from just the science, but also all the economic benefits of patents, products, etc.

CLASSES TODAY. I'm excited to get going on this again after a bit of a bumpy break. TWO LESSONS THIS WEEK. The lecture on Wednesday wont be toonboom specific - character animators of all mediums, if you struggle with understanding choices that go into timing #animation

i have zero interest in most modern low budget shlock because it’s doing this self conscious “haha so bad it’s good just like the 80s!” thing. but you can’t produce that intellectually. you need to be trying to make a normal movie and have it come out wrong because you’re a crazy person
