My website was LONG overdue for a massive revamp. I’ve added 4-5 years worth of work in just about every category, and finally organized everything in a more recruiter-friendly way! Http://www.betsybauerART.com
Was the last time she was in Culver City like... 2010? It was a little shifty back then but lol even Sony Animation moved to Hollywood instead of Culver I *assume* because it's cheaper!
“The first thing I thought was, ‘What is she talking about?’” said Bryan Fish, the vice mayor of Culver City, whom everyone calls Bubba but doesn’t look like someone whom everyone calls Bubba. “The only crime here,” he added, “is like the $18 strawberry at Erewhon.”

Like 13 years ago I had the mind-boggling opportunity to meet Buzz Aldrin and he said something along the lines of "GIVE IT 6 MONTHS AND THE CHINESE WILL BE MINING ON THE MOON" which at the time felt a bit like "Ok, Grandpa, let's get you to bed" but here we are.

I give an environment design assignment every semester where students need to design the room of a fictional character and one of my students is doing the Kool Aid man as though he’s a giant Evangelion mech and the idea generation gets so much more wonderfully twisted each week.

Continually funny to me how many US citizens conveniently forget that Puerto Rico *IS* the US….

Thrilled to announce my 5th (omg) graphic novel!!!
This standalone fairy tale is part an excuse to draw lots of monsters, part the agrophobia I've developed in these pandemic years, and the rest—a story of comfort that doesn't shy away from the dark 🧡🧡🧡

My neighbor keeps yelling in a muffled, cartoonish, almost Pee-Wee Herman voice, and if it weren’t for the accompanying weed smell I might actually be a bit concerned.

I know there are way bigger issues right now, but this is why we ALL deserve to actually OWN the software we use. If Adobe was going to pull this and a studio actually owned a license instead of paying a subscription, they could *at least* finish out a show/season and then adjust for the next go.
So many productions use this fucking software.
You've got a month now to recreate your entire fucking pipeline in another program, and all your previous work is useless, bye
Fucking insane. To do this so fast with no warning has to be criminal

My child has been fully walking for maybe 3 weeks now and at least once a week she has peed on the floor on her walk from the changing table to the bath tub. I can’t decide if it’s better or worse than peeing in the tub

Is anyone on here fluent in Armenian or Thai?
The SFV needs to get the word out to each other but translations would be helpful for these two languages.
Please share this with someone who might be able to help?

"Why am I so exhausted?" I wonder as I cough into my sleeve after being up at 2am with a crying toddler every night for the past several weeks in a country that is currently going through an authoritarian takeover.

My strategy for ordering a drink at a bar at age 37 when on a date with my husband (while we have a sitter for our human child) is similar to my strategy for ordering drinks in my early 20s which is “what is going to get me drunk fastest.” In my 20s bc $ in my 30s bc time.

Does anyone know why my local Mexican joint painted a mural of 2 Korean e-sports players on the back of their building?? Genuinely asking. Before this it was a famous mariachi singer and before that La Catrina. I am so confused.

If you're under the age of 50, there's a pretty good chance that Geraldine Laybourne, Betty Cohen, and Linda Simensky build up a foundation of your childhood since they were architects behind channels like Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, and PBS Kids, bringing in a lot of genre shows.

I picked my daughter up from daycare today, and some of the workers there had done her hair like this. I could not stop laughing and had to draw it!

It’s hilarious to me that the Vegas season of Fallout was shot in North Hollywood. North Hollywood absolutely does seem like a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas.
