I wanna recommend this great video about modern criticisms of media, as I myself tend to get caught up with "interpreting" media vs. "seeing" media for what is on the surface youtu.be/J56XPMA6KHI?...

I just learned today that people think a horror movie is good if it's fun, has comedy in it, and the crowd in the theatre is "hot", I.e receptive to said comedy. meaning they will not enjoy the movie if the rest of the crowd isn't laughing at the jokes. Again this is for HORROR movies

I really think the animation industry needs to move out of LA, and spread out to other states or something. keeping it isolated to one city just doesn't make sense anymore, especially with so many artists having to work remote anyway

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

So a particular movie got leaked recently & I've seen animators blaming piracy for undermining their hard work & potentially costing them future opportunities. As an artist in animation, I get the fear. But y'all are not gonna lose jobs over this. Direct your frustation to Paramount; they messed up!

Growing up, I constantly heard “art is a hobby not a job”. For some, things don’t have value without monetization. Corporations want you to feel that too. As a pro artist, the arts give a voice to the voiceless. They give a mind to the mindless. They unite us. Don’t stop. The value is beyond money.

In general, I think l'm good at character expressions and acting. In storyboarding, I'm pretty good at figuring out the tone and mood of a scene and its characters. Usually get close to zero notes/revisions from clients, so I like to call myself "No-Notes Ari" lol

kinda random but i've always felt like being an artist is too much pressure. yknow, like romanticizing life and having it be one's calling or purpose or something. been trynna come to terms with the idea that I'm not like, an "Artist" but more like a guy who draws sometimes and maybe thats okay 🤷🏽‍♂️
