Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

One of the last truly great things put out by Disney; breathtakingly animated, and refreshingly adventurous.
For those interested, you can watch a gorgeous 4k Restoration of the original 35MM that was uploaded to the Internet Archive a few years ago

Shinya Ohira animates like nobody else. He's a maverick artist known for the raw, explosive power of his drawings.
If you've seen The Boy and the Heron, you know his work. For this issue, we've gone inside his career and spoken to him about his craft: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-maveri...

Hey y'all! I'm teaching another workshop!
I've done a few of these, but this is the first time I'll be covering how to draw characters. This is also a great way to support me and my work directly if you've ever wanted to do that!
It'll be on June 28th, 10am PDT!

We are democratizing art. No longer will you have to pay someone who owns a data center just to generate pictures. With a pencil and notepad that costs less than a dollar, you too can create Artisanal Imagery.
The word around town is that the next big thing is Artisanal Imagery, hand-made visuals that you simply have to own if you don't want to be left behind

This commercial for French's Mustard from 1987 is equal parts charming and also kinda unsettling, but what strikes me is the work that went into the absolutely delightful puppetry and practical effects for a *mustard commercial*!! Imagine that today??
