Friendly reminder! If you want to support the right to read by purchasing a banned book or taking it out from the library your impact will be much greater if you choose a living author. Orwell is great and all, but he's not doing much with your money.

Samurai Jack is a classic. And it's fueled by its rich images -- the backgrounds, animation and visual storytelling.
Genndy Tartakovsky was sick of dialogue. He wanted to take a risk on a visual series, and Cartoon Network supported it. We explore:

Just took a shower and suddenly the project for my final year research is clearer in my head. Now i must see if it's also doable...
Nevertheless, blessed be the 12 am shower!

It's hard to focus on working when there's not much to look forward to but I'll try.
Currently I'm primarily thinking of buying a hard cardboard and gesso to finally start painting something.
Or at least buy a big good quality paper to draw on it

How come the universe chose to make 1 small good thing happen in my life, followed by multiple misfortunes??
Will it knock it off with this pretentious meaningless bad joke set already???

Satoshi Kon was a master filmmaker -- and a master storyboarder. His detailed sketches were blueprints for his movies.
Take Millennium Actress. He spent nine months boarding it alone, on a quest to make a great film with a small budget. We explore:

Dianne Jackson mastered the art of turning illustrations into animation. She did it in her film The Snowman, in the Peter Rabbit series and more.
Millions know Jackson's work, but few know about her. Our new issue tells the story of this great artist: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-unsung...

Quick question: is it just me or are some people using substack as Tumblr 2.0?
I thought it was just for newsletters and stuff but I've seen some posts that look like or give the vibe of old Tumblr

Ate the most cursed chicken wrap of my life. Hours passed and I still haven't recovered. Maybe I'll find some convenience store sushi to cleanse its taste.

BUBBLE BATH (originally Habfürdő)
I'd think it's safe to say this Movie and I did not gel very well.

Animation is in a weird spot for me. On one hand i (sadly) became a very pessimistic person due to my longterm unresolved mental health issues. But on the other hand no matter what, with all the terrible news it gets, animation still is the only thing i keep being optimistic and cheerful about.

1/5 - I wrote this short comic immediately after experiencing a hate crime inside the Wing Luke Museum (Seattle's Asian American history museum). I didn't sit down to make the comic until over a year after it happened, but now it's done. I have exorcized the feelings.
