The ideal body shape for all humans is as close to mathematically square as possible.

I just found this drawing I made years ago in response to someone getting upset about "bean mouths."

I just accidentally flicked my earlobe and it made a big SLAP! sound as it snapped back and hit my neck. Is this something I get to look forward to more of as I age?

Guys this is a super big deal: I'm releasing this image with the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license. creativecommons.org/licenses/by-... Now you can stop using the picture I took of myself with a big Stranger Things G on my shirt like 8 years ago.

Spent half an hour looking for a video that I saw of a very specific and sincere dude singing Lips of an Angel in 2007. I won't be linking him, but you guys, a LOT of searching for old videos can be solved when you add before:2007 (or whatever year). granwehr.com/blog/youtube...

Let's bring back parties where the song from Run Lola Run comes on and then some guy says "This is from Run Lola Run!" and then you nod in agreement like you've seen Run Lola Run but really none of you did

I can't think of anything more lame sounding than saying someone was "brutally fact-checked." "Savagely corrected"? "Murderously um-actually'd"?

I can't believe I have to keep breathing all the time, how annoying.

My opposition to AI generated images is not based on some nebulous fear of all the work I could lose (though I don't know why being able to make a living wage with my artistic skills is a bad thing), my opposition to it is because it is fascist technology used by fascists for fascist purposes.

I love this song and I just listen to it on it's own. It's from when Godzilla fights Anguirus in Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) and it rules. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MswS...

I think Muppet Treasure Island is the best adaption of Treasure Island. Is there a better one? Every time I see a different version I just compare it to Muppet and it's not as good.

I can't count how many times I've seen a trailer for something and been like "oh that movie sounds interesting..." and then found out it was TV show my mind instantly changed to "pass"

For the new followers, here's my new-ish hobby I have been too busy to pick up this year. I like to model dioramas and scenery, although I don't play any tabletop games. In a different life, I would have found a way to do this full time 😢 Here are my 3 finished creations.

aaahHHHHHH SHIIIIIIITTTTTTtttttt

ah shit I think I might wanna get some popeyes tonight ahhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiit

I'm not in Austin, I have nothing to do with his whatsoever, but I DO know that Slumber Party Massacre II is something to behold. Watching Slumber Party Massacre isn't necessary to watch the sequel, but it's a worthwhile investment because you'll appreciate it a different level. See this movie!

Let's try to be mindful of people who get hurt when you refer to ai imagery as "slop" and start using less offensive alternatives. Mindfulness matters💕 Thank you.💕

@merriam-webster.com Question: Is "offal" in any way related to "awful"? Because awful I would assume is related to being "full of awe" but that doesn't explain the negative aspect of it, but offal is... awful... so

All life-size cardboard character cutouts should be of the person standing perfectly parallel to the ground, be exactly true-to-life scale, and they should be standing in a T pose. These are for accurate measuring. This is the purpose of cardboard movie character cutouts, yes? Yes.

Saw someone get big mad about how people keep saying the word "slop" after they say "AI" and how it's just immature and it's not going to change anything and to that I say: slop

can't believe they found this photo of me from back in high school

We sometimes find great, free resources for artists online. Our new issue collects a few -- official painting tutorials from Samurai Jack, tips from the Nine Old Men and more: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/artist-res...

Stephen Miller is a year older than me but he looks about 1000 years older than me, which I assume is what happens when you sleep in a crypt and use graveyard juices as your main source of nutrients.

Good alternatives to Storyboard Pro? It's just so bloated and expensive. I'd still like something storyboard specific, if it exists. #animation

Hey! Press covering Trump! The statute that lets him impose tariffs at will? It EXPLICITLY excludes movies. He has no authority to do this. Not just bc of an absence of authorization, but bc the law says “you CANNOT do this.” Do NOT say “Trump has imposed movie tariffs,” bc he did not. He CANNOT.

Kinda nuts that shows like Steven Universe, Gravity Falls, Amphibia, Owl House, Infinity Train, Star vs The Forces of Evil and so many others are so popular but the studios just decided to stop making them. Was talking with a friend and her kid loves these shows but they’ve run out of episodes.

I don’t know man, what could it possibly be?

It really sunk in for me just how much we're in the "post-movie star era" (and how Marvel specifically was who forced this to happen in the late 00's) when I saw the trailer for Thunderbolts and instead of actor names on screen, it showed character names on screen. Just a fascinating sea change.

Been out of work for a minute and my god, any time I get to talk IRL to another artist or to people about art, it's like I'm filled with joy and love again. All this shit going on in the world sucks and I believe the way to combat it is to just hang out in the real world with each other again.

That's what the price of gas was 20 years ago when I was in high school and I, as a delivery boy, tried to convince the owner of Jimmy Johns to pay more for gas because the price was so high. He said no.

Just had a meeting with my city council member's staff about animation worker issues and incentivizing animation specifically. It was productive! I was super nervous going in, but it was totally fine. Good even! I liked doing it! Get shit done in your community by talking to your local government!

When we started recording Season 2 of Infinity Train, Ashley snort-laughed at some point when she started yelling for Jesse. I was like "What?" and she said: "I'm just uhh... I'm doing this other thing where I also yell for a friend named Jesse... a lot..." That other thing was Last of Us 2.

I think most people's "friendly reminders" that they post online might actually not be so friendly

People on the right want artists to be on their side SO BADLY it's embarrassing. They love how cool artists are, but cannot bear the fact that artists hate them. This is also why AI is so beloved in right wing circles, they get to force the artists who say no to them to give them their work.
