I’m finally releasing The RainMaker. Not the version I wanted, but the version that exists in this moment. Next week, I will move my belongings into storage, and for now, animation leaves my hands #animation #short #artinstitute ​#artinstitutePDX (1/3)

@YoshikiOfficial What do you mean whats going on? 😂 everyone loves your dinner shows.

@mexopolis I wish I’d had the chance to work on Punky Duck. I know anything AI‑adjacent is a lightning rod right now, and maybe it would’ve flopped, but it still would’ve been an opportunity — something I haven’t been able to find anywhere else.

[🎬 JR. Narayan @DirectorNarayan]

@mexopolis The traditional pipeline everyone keeps defending has gatekept me out of the industry for years. I know AI can take jobs from artists, but it also showed me a door that’s always been closed to people like me. I want to be part of this world too — I just don’t know where I fit.

[🎬 JR. Narayan @DirectorNarayan]

@mexopolis If my work is good enough to be scraped for datasets, why hasn’t it ever been good enough to get me a job?

[🎬 JR. Narayan @DirectorNarayan]

@mexopolis So when AI tools actually engaged with my concepts, it felt like the first time anything took my industry seriously. Not because AI is “better,” but because the current system never made space for people like me.

[🎬 JR. Narayan @DirectorNarayan]

@mexopolis I have a bachelor’s in animation, creative experience, and personal work — but none of it has opened a door for me to grow. For a decade, peers and alumni treated my work like it didn’t matter.
