It "rules" that AI slop can flourish and get paid out, meanwhile actual indie artists don't get paid by Spotify any more. I can't stress this enough, even Amazon, Google and Apple are better at paying out indie artists than Spotify - any service choose other than Spotify, will pay indies better:
It's really an "anyone but Spotify" situation. Looking back on 2025, we can see everyone whose paid me royalties this year & the rates thereof (Tidal wins, but Amazon, Youtube & Apple aren't bad,) and looking back on my history with Spotify by year, we see exactly when their payout rules changed:

"The thing is, even if you're just thinking in terms of fiscal value, having gone through a degree program and being able to put it on your resumé/CV isn't the most significant return on your investment: the way you have further developed your mind is."

another day lamenting the fact i'll never have an industry job because my place on the cognitive functioning scale of ADHD is such that it takes me two to three times as long as a neurotypical person to finish a task, even when medicated 🙃

Hey guys! I've decided that I'm going to be closing my shop for the indeterminate future while I re-evaluate what kind of stuff I want to be making, so I'm trying to get rid of all of my old stock! Everything is 50% off and may never come back!

I remember working on Magic: Duels and badly photoshopping tropical print shirts onto placeholder planeswalkers key art while waiting for the full-res files to come in. Because, y'know, we wanted it to be VERY OBVIOUS it wasn't final

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Artists create universes from nothing.
Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

watched the 4K release of TRON: Legacy, which on an OLED was like seeing the face of god
rewatch that really reinforced thinking that it's just one of the best movies ever made, in a way that makes me sad that we just dont make films like it anymore. sound off in the comments if you disagree!

"Bury him face down." This barn burner of an obit might feel hyperbolic to people who entered the world in the wake of 9/11; it's not. Cheney was one of the architects of today's American Christian conservatism. He was directly responsible for millions of deaths. Salt the earth where he's buried.
