Why have all these financial and accounting services following me???? Do I give off the vibe that I need them?

You ever look at Japanese production storyboards and wonder "what the fuck are we (in the USA) even doing" because all's I can say is damn. The level of detail is quick thumbnails at best and that's all you need. Fuck the USA production expectations for storyboards. Stop making us make comic books.

Once I finish Quartz Quest episode 3, i’m gonna learn how to use a CNC wood router, and I’ll probably feel like this Pig I drew.

I'm an animation guy and I'll always be an animation guy, but the idea that any given comic is just trapped in a lesser medium until it's animated is so offensive to me

Every Junji Ito anime adaptation showcases how comics aren't some throwaway stepping stone to animation and cinema, and that we should stop treating them as such. Comics, like prose novels, are their own medium that can convey things animation and video cannot.

I think this every time I watch Belladonna of Sadness
Sonic meme of him laying and saying "I want more animation to utilize still images and sparingly save the animated scenes for artistic focal points and I'm not kidding"

One of my strongest opinions about “ indie animation “ and making things in general is that you should enjoy doing it to some extent.

I think when you get into indie-animation, you should be ready to pay people or barter then, not later. Volunteer labor shouldnt have deadlines. YOU SHOULD HAVE A JOB or do alot of shit yourself.

The promise of merch stores, "royalties" and multiple projects? Good for clout. Bad for business.

Cool bug facts! Whenever you see “indie animation studios” announce multiple shows and series being made without any prior establishment, budget, or income to put into it (and i mean big income) odds are they wont see the light of day and is a scam for free labor and piggybacking off others work!

Uline's owners are the 2nd biggest political donors to Trump, so found a non-MAGA alt rec'd on Reddi: EcoEnclose. For shipping boxes for original comic art, so I got EXACTLY the size I wanted. It's half the price once you add in shipping to my house from Uline. EcoEnc $120.32 vs Uline $238.38.
EcoEnclose order summary: “Order Summary 50 Items 100% Recycled Box - OPF 32ECT C - CUSTOM 50 x 100% Recycled Box - OPF 32ECT C - CUSTOM Details Box Strength: 32C (25 lbs) Box Style: OPF Length(in): 17.500 Width(in): 12.000 Height(in): 1.000 Service Speed: Standard (3 - 6 business days) FSC® Recycled Shipping Weight 11 oz Subtotal $99.86 Shipping $20.46 Tax $0.00 Total (USD) $120.32” Uline Order Summary # of Shipments: 1 # of Items: 1 Subtotal: $186.00 Tax: $20.00 More Information Shipping: $32.38 Estimated Total: $238.38 2024 WTTW Chicago Public TV article on Illinois' biggest Republican political donors: “…Trump’s Top Donors With a combined $10 million donation to the Make America Great Again Super PAC, billionaires Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein are the second-biggest backers of Trump’s reelection bid — though their contribution has been dwarfed by the $75 million kicked in by banking heir Timothy Mellon. The Uihleins, Lake Forest residents and owners of the shipping products company Uline, are longtime conservative political donors. Uline, which was once headquartered in Illinois, moved in 2010 to Wisconsin — also home to Schlitz Brewing, to which Richard Uihlein is an heir. The Uihleins have long been active in Illinois politics. They supported former Gov. Bruce Rauner in his successful 2014 election bid. In 2018, they backed his unsuccessful challenger in the Republican gubernatorial primary, then-state Rep. Jeanne Ives. They’ve also supported U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Springfield), who drew widespread condemnation for approvingly quoting Adolf Hitler in a 2021 speech; failed Illinois gubernatorial and congressional candidate Darren Bailey; and U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood (R-Peoria).”
