on all social media - reel & email in bio🍃
Below are some of the projects I've had the privilege of working on!
do not READ the thing, do not SHARE the thing, unfollow her, block her, de-platform her. do not give her any attention, she's proven she's a literal villain oh my god
ive been trying my damndest to avoid this sword pointing meme but as a pro in an art industry - we very much WILL look at a link in your twitter bio that will take us to a curated gallery of your work because pros understand twitter is not a portfolio. Don't freak out haha
as an artist, stop clogging your media tab with memes/reaction images/etc. the majority of people on this platform will NOT bother digging through years of images to look for your art, nor will they click a link to take them else where to see it. keep that place clean.
@Akitron
its absolutely ridiculous that people keep spouting that it's unskilled labour when its literally learning dozens and dozens of recipes, then making them not only DELICIOUS, but also consistent, safe, and extremely quick??
thats a HUGE skill, i flat out cant do that
Cartoon Network Studios, as you know it, is gone thanks to David Zaslav. It consolidating into a single unit with Warner Bros. Animation, and this is HUGE news. It's also an ominous sign for the future of new, original Cartoon Network animation.

, I'm proud to say I'm bi! 💗💜💙
I went to my first pride event ever this year - even though I have a lot of complex feelings, baggage, & valid criticisms - thinking back to being a scared teen myself, I'm happy I finally went✨

i need everyone to remember that the VAST majority of people who worked on the movie thats the center of todays TL topic are canadian, and don't have a union
if i could stress anything to folks entering the animation industry - don't fall in love with a place, fall in love with the people. Studios change overtime, execs come and go, its common for artists & sometimes full crews to hop studios
if you're interested in reading YA fantasy work from trans/nb authors, my friend

Also I am begging straight dudes to develop emotionally fulfilling relationships with their guy friends so when a woman is nice to you, you don't immediately think it's true love. Especially if u are PAYING FOR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE HSSGHSHSJS
hey sorry im really passionate about this but if you oversee people, its your goddamn duty to get a hold of any toxic thoughts or feelings you have so you dont inadvertently(or blatantly) lash out at your team, or people who rely on you.
I havent watched the new scott pilgrim anime but you know what?
If i got to make a story, and then got the opportunity to make it another 3 times in wildly different mediums, with different crews? I think id change it up too

@DesiraeSalmark
asked me if there was a way to animate pixel art with computer-generated tweens & keep the pixel clarity without having to hand draw every dot - here's the result of my messing around in CSP
Retweeted a post earlier about breaking down images you like with your own notes to better understand the answers to your questions about WHY you like it.
A friend asked for advice on how to start, so here's an example! Using a panel from FMA, by Hiromu Arakawa
JK Rowling just liked a tweet opposing a bill that will criminalise conversion therapy (both sexual orientation and gender identity) at the federal level in Canada.
If you were on the fence or thought people were overreacting before, now is the time to take a stand.
3. I made this gif on a whim to practice a concept & apparently really helped out a lot people! I got feature on some animation sites as well which was neat
Ive muted this already but I'd like to be clear that this is about refraining from completely overwhelming your twitter with constant quote-retweets of transphobia if you are cis. Seeing it all over your feed is extremely triggering for trans ppl
some lil anim tips on teeth that feel like common sense but I had to be told when I first started, so I'm sharing it with yoooou(repost to fix a very confusing typo!!)
if you're a 2d animator & your lipsync always feels a LITTLE too late compared to the audio, but you're animating right on time to the audio, try shifting your animation to happen 2 frames earlier, and see if that helps
twitter is not ideal for presenting work anyhow, it compresses images and videos, cuts off frames in gifs, shifts the audio by two seconds in some video uploads.
@amberbladejones
this is hilarious because i remember people getting into flame wars on oekaki forums about putting clouds behind the moon - a similar but different issue - like 15 years ago
(very softly) Canadians, what our American friends need right now is support, compassion, and listening. Please please don't climb up on your high horse over the next few months

@ArtCampOfficial
may want to unfollow, Noah Bradley is an abusive manipulative creep who preys on women in the arts. An account from him dedicated to teaching those younger and with less experience can't be trusted
this is such a good example about how you can get away with literally jumping from a front view to a back view (or any extreme contrast poses)
with enough lead up(anticipation, strong ease in, etc)
and enough settle (followthrough, overshoot, strong ease out, etc)
Its really rough when your friends are hired right after grad, or even before grad, and youre just standing their with this pile of work no one even wants to look at. But i swear to you, theres no date where you become "unhireable" or when its "too late for you"
I got in an argument with a rick&morty fan who was adamant r&m was animated on paper in South Korea(making it superior)
Unlike Steven universe, which he said was animated with builds in flash/harmony(which is bad I guess??)
While I had "animator on Rick & Morty" in my bio 😔
Whenever CB makes a sweeping claim, its a good idea to do some research before catastrophizing. They arent a completely trustworthy source, and often confuse opinion with fact
Jk turned off the ability for comments for the sole purpose of forcing ppl to RT her post to engage with it, which:
1. exposes trans ppl who follow you to her malice over and over, and
2. works to give her hatred a larger platform
i just need everyone to understand that the idea of scrolling through twitter to review someone's work,
a website that does not offer a thumbnail view for looking at the sum of one's work at a glance, and is stuck to be chronological,
sounds like hell lol
Proper sex ed is vital, without it, I didn't see abuse for what it was until it was too late. If you care about kids safety - physically, mentally, emotionally - you should care about this.
