One day housing will be solved and healthcare will be universal and climate change will be solved and I will be able to just be stupid about cartoons on the internet without The Dread.

Sometimes people not in animation asked me how I made decisions on what a location looked like and I hated to tell them that that isn't my job, my job was a lot of separating doors on the BG file
ah and in animation they don't tell you about how often you're gonna have to animate people walking through doors and opening doors and closing doors and the doorknob is too low and you need the door separated from the doorframe on the bg file and and
years ago I made a tweet that was like "the thing they don't tell you about comics is how many god damn doorframes you have to draw" and i'm here to say: it continues. people opening doors. knocking on doors. stepping through doorframes. i'm still fucking drawing all of it. it never ends

Yeah, you know what, I was just brainstorming while avoiding looking at my inbox this morning, but if you own an Apple device there is literally no reason not to take 2 minutes and do this. I'm doing it on our family iPad right now

Oldie, goodie:
![Breaking News Consumer's Handbook
1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite another news outlet as the source of the information.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses.
- "We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
- "We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't haveit.
- "[News outlet] has learned"... means it has a scoop or is going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qjoddtmp5jxzkzvt3hoqz3tt/bafkreigi2e6uxrt67htjbrfcmtpbasfuz4jvetyyecnqvxxyt45zile72y@jpeg)

Is it any wonder that the UK's politics is a mess when the Chief Political Commenator at a major newspaper is baffled by a pretty straightforward sentence?
But can anyone tell me what this bit means? “For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty.”

This is it… the biggest spinny shot I’ve ever worked on!!!
There was NO 3D involved in the character animation!! I created the camera move by placing the characters on pegs. I was so excited when they assigned this to me, I love a challenge >:)

I know twitter punishes you so badly for using any that aren't trending at that current moment, but they're very useful here on bsky, you can search by user, so tagging your art is encouraged
