Reminder (for myself as much as anyone): having to work a day job has no bearing on whether or not you’re a “real artist”.

The Kickstarter for Milton Knight's independent animated short "CAT AND MOUSE" is up. The in-progress work looks incredible! Consider backing if you want to see a genuinely unique cartoon from a very talented cartoonist.
CAT AND MOUSE: An Animated Cartoon About Domestic Violence!
An "old school" animated cartoon, reflecting on the domestic violence I grew up with.

Seconding this — I just finished watching and it's great. Getting into the meta weeds on animation without sounding like an academic and keeping it understandable is a fine line to balance, and Drew did a great job in this video.
Very good video by Drew (Smiling Friends, Green Eggs and Ham animator).
A deep-dive show ‘n tell about what makes hand-drawn animation special in an accessible way that still respects the viewer’s intelligence, whether versed in animation or not. A rarity.

1. I wish people don't dismiss four-panel, newspaper style strips as "lesser". The medium is just as valid as graphic novels.
2. I hate the mentality that comics must be printed in color in order to sell. Like, you guys do know that most mangas are printed in B&W and they sell like hotcakes, right?

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

I made a bunch of music, it's like weird electronic and guitar stuff with a bunch of samples and dumb noises. I've been told some of it feels kind of video gamey and some is more ambient Brian Eno-esque. you can find it on my bandcamp (aaron-long.bandcamp.com) or on my youtube.

Yay! 🫶 Some solace and sense of sensibility in these silly times. TVPaint has been my de facto for over a decade. The films I'm currently producing "Hand-Drawn: Documentary" handdrawnfilm.com and "Syrenka: Legend of the Warsaw Mermaid" syrenkafilm.com both use TVPaint.
The tea is served ladies and gents! 🫡

WB pulling the entire Looney Tunes library from HBO Max--ON THIS WEEKEND, OF ALL WEEKENDS--is only going to make me even more obnoxious about hyping and honoring this film. There will be pig and duck-ening that has never been pig and duck-ened before. You hath been warned.

I know this makes me sound like an old fuddy duddy, but making my favorite animation list makes me realize just how much I miss hand drawn animation. The little imperfections, the warmth, the lines squiggling here and there. You could feel the humanity in every frame. Everything looks so clean now.
