He destroyed careers, he destroyed peoples’ livelihoods. I hope he sleeps well with his golden parachute knowing he’s had a major hand in turning the US animation industry into the desert it is today.

I actually do want to attempt a drawing every 4 days challenge again; but mentally/financially I’m a bit hung up trying to pay for a wedding trip and the remainder of rent. It’s frustrating.

Went to The Cybertronic Spree concert this year which was SO awesome! The opener 'Spaceman Bob' brought such a great energy and theme. Afterwards I found he was 'America's Got Talent' and got passed by 3 judges for performing the same show. Taught me a lot about liking what you like unabashedly.

So because my VHS copy of Wallace & Gromit was an early enough UK copy from my grandparents; it actually has 2 music tracks that had to be changed after a copyright claim. I always thought it was weird I was somehow mishearing the radio clip from this movie on YouTube. I hope I don’t lose it!

the difference between fine art and illustration is nothing more than the economic class of the artist making it and that of their patrons.

It is comforting to know that "illustration isn't real art" snobbery is still alive and well

Telling my family before MILK (Milwaukee Independent Literature and Comics) Fest that I'm gonna go visit my art school when in reality I'm probably going STRAIGHT to Oakland Gyros and my old Goodwill right off the plane 🤣

"You're not going to the concert anymore!?" "Well, I don't have a car, 1 night hotel and 2 rides is ~$200, train or a bus can both be delayed as much as 4-7 hours starting at 4am. And my trip after is a week long." "... So you don't 'want' to go the concert?" What planet is this generation from?

I find this stuff fascinating; this is basically the animation world's equivalent of how pixel art games were designed to be played on glass tube TVs. The "imperfections" created in the process of publishing the work are part of the planned end product.

PPZF 2026 went really well! Even better than my first time 2 years ago! Met wonderful people, made a last minute zine, introduced so many to TWRP, and felt surprisingly in top of things despite doing it alone this time! I will do as many as I can from now on 💛 Next year’s goal; visit more artists!

Sounds counter-intuitive but I was getting slightly nervous and skeptical after all the initial hype beforehand. Saw it now and I am genuinely FLOORED with how excellent this movie is. I haven't had that much fun in the theaters for YEARS.

Ian Patterson @ianpcartoonr.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

‘Junkers Come Here’ doesn’t match it’s description on Tubi, strays from the plot often, drags, has that 90s-dub-itis, but I’m also an hour in and the art is beautifully done. Not a great movie by any means but doing the job I guess? It’s like being held hostage. Has anyone watched this?

“Consumerism as activism” can be a questionable tactic… but it’s worth noting: if you all see COYOTE VS ACME this weekend and make it a giant hit… you will specifically humiliate David Zaslov and make him miserable… while also seeing an entertaining and heartfelt movie. The definition of win/win.

As long as I don't hit a low again later in the year, I'd like to make a Picrew out of these Bionicle Matoran assets I'm making for a zine. I think Bionicle fans would really love to make their own little Matoran easily for profile pics/chat icons 💛

My job is great because I get to draw shit like this for official speaking engagements

Silly cartoon of Escher leading a talk. An audience member raises their hand as he motions to a screen with a beetle on it, saying "WHO DAT BUG?". Under the illustration in all caps, "YOU WILL PARTICIPATE NOW"

Escher as a wizard of bugs. Audience member bows to him.

Escher straining to carry a huge backpack of field guides. One fell and bounced off his head. Under the illustration is the word "hypothetically", as this is certainly not something that has actually happened to him

Early Cartoon Network was hugely inspired by the UPA animator Bobe Cannon. Artists like Genndy Tartakovsky loved his style of movement, studied it and put it in their work. We're looking into Cannon's methods and how they shaped these shows: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-animat...

That silver matte was supposed to be holographic like the lines on the inside, but I think I set up the UV layer incorrectly. They seem fine enough that I’ll still have ~8 packs at PPZF 2026. I’m enjoying the pens quite a bit. if you have a good tip about printing cards, let me know 🤘
