Here's another drawing from early in the year I never posted. This was inspired from a tiki bar on Hawaii's big island.

Day 182 recommending an animated film for a full year. Today is my 2nd favorite, and I know it is a common opinion, but Spirited Away is one of the greatest movies of all time. Endlessly imaginative, emotional and inventive. In the vein of Alice in Wonderland or Wizard of Oz it meanders...

I love how @ani-obsessive.bsky.social was able to document the films at OIAF. In an age of AI use, it’s always good to know that there are people pouring their hearts and talents into the animation medium. Check out some of the films mentioned in this article! open.substack.com/pub/animatio...

One animator put it plainly: “You have no idea how frustrating it is to see press release after press release touting how much money our animated film made and how many nominations we got; then [the studio] turns to people who have worked here forever and says, ‘We don’t need you anymore.’” Heh.

C2E2 starts tomorrow!!! We're busy finishing the last of our printing. Fun fact: We set our prints on an old animation desk from a studio we used to freelance for.

I'm flattered that Lynda Carter shared our artwork and love the sentiment here. @sarahsatrun.bsky.social and I loved watching her and the Wonder Woman character.

Here's a piece I did for our work's annual art show, Artists Among Us. This year's theme is Storybook, so I chose The Little Mermaid. I loved the original Hans Christian Andersen story growing up, so naturally I gravitated to this. 🌊🧜‍♀️💙

Some hand sheets I made for the animation team! I looked at how Dana drew hands a lot and coupled it with my own anatomical knowledge of hands. #KnightsOfGuinevere

🔥💯 Jon Stewart's prophecy from 2022: "When a democracy is under threat: comedians are the ones who get sent away first. Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to progress. It ain't the pronoun police, it's the Secret Police. It always has been & it always will be."
