atelier-style learning is crazy. By watching someone and then having them instruct you directly you become a super good, extremely fast and it's why they had 20 year old master painters and sculptors back in the day.
I learned maya animation in about 5 days on my first job. FIVE DAYS!

I've been really into weird experimental animation lately. Ever since I saw Mad God.
This animator is amazing and doesn't have many views

Guys, watch this. I think it brings up a lot of interesting things to consider but especially now when so much is fabricated and we move towards even more fabricated with ai and lack of real photos and real sets. I, like the essayist, crave something more real. Even if the “real” is fantasy.
This is a really remarkable video essay on contemporary film and the theories of Laura Marks. It's making me think about movies in a new way.

It's time for more boarding talk! So I had the pleasure of storyboarding the song Love in a Bottle for Hazbin Hotel! Firstly, it was a total honor to get to storyboard something for a song sung by Keith David. The man has SUCH a killer voice. Bucket list item for sure haha.

Inspired my Lucas' lettering stacks, here's the letting for The Lonesome Hunters #1. I put the SFX in the art, so mine look a little less flashy. Still, it's interesting how my letting seems to clump up in 3 tiers. Most (but not all) of the yellow captions represent the upper left corner of a panel.

I've often thought that the color on a lot of the Disney and Pixar movies I grew up watching seemed off on newer releases, and it turns out I was right! Animation Obsessive has a great new piece about it, using Toy Story as a major example.

In the 1890s, Gifford Pinchot — often hailed as America's first serious forest conservationist — went on a quest to make forests that could be tightly controlled. In doing so, Marin Scotten writes, he helped birth both the American suburb and a new age of wildfires.

Also in case its not being mentioned in your feed, there is still a remaining vote for this and Somehow they didn't anticipate the outrage, so there's apparently some hesitation now.
If those were your senators, call them and don't stop. I will also be calling even though they arent mine

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.
