Demo reels – figuring out how to get started? TOUGH. • Who am I? • What do I show? • What do I call myself? • How long should it even be? Once you have it cut and scored and uploaded? EVEN TOUGHER. • Who is hiring? • How do I connect? • What do I do after applying?

With CHRONOKEYS launching, I'm at peak animating scripts and plug-ins with After EFFECTS: • Chronokeys • Keystone • Kease • Flow At this point, we need the animating experience (timeline + curve editor) addressed by the AE team. What tools would you like to see added natively?

You could make a very American version of NO OTHER CHOICE set in the mid-2000s feature animation industry where someone goes around Burbank chopping off the drawing hand of the last few lead animators and it would end with the first shot of the all AI-generated animated feature.

Let’s talk NO OTHER CHOICE: A last gasp of workaday capitalism. Breaking Bad by way of Oldboy. The Tragedy of Craft. A messy gut punch riot for anyone affected by automation or AI, whether you were a journalist, designer, animator, or just hoping to be one. Darkly delicious. 9/10

Bernie Sanders Meme.

Bernie bored reading "Seeing the new Superman as Clark."

Startled Bernie reading "Hearing him use the Superman voice

Bernie excited "Seeing Lois be LOIS."

Bernie elated "Hearing Ma Kent say I cleaned your boots, I'll go get 'em for ya."

Your reminder that Light & Magic on Disney+ is an incredible documentary series you need to watch. What could have just been a behind the scenes look at special effects is instead a heartfelt human story from filmmaker Joe Johnston that has no right to be this good—In season two.

Writing 4 panel comic strips for a project. Thought I’d take a break & read some early CALVIN + HOBBES. DONT. It is SHOCKING how good Watterson was, right out of the gate. His fourth strip in and it’s jam-packed. Visual puns. Established the dynamic between C+H. A double funny final panel.

I just finished the storyboards for 30s spot for work. Took ~8 hours across a couple days. It was 66 panels total. I've wanted to start a 4-panel slice of life comic for myself and struggling hard 😡 Doing the math, 66/4 = 16. I could do SIXTEEN strips for myself in a day?!? What's my problem?!?

That “HE GETS US” ad is funded by an extreme right wing org. Using Johnny Cash’s cover of Depeche Mode’s “Personal Jesus” - a scathing critique of right-wing televangelists preying on the unwary - is a spectacular self-own.
