I’m currently looking for new opportunities in Illustration or Animation. Let me know if my skills might be a good match for your project or position!

Finding myself out of work for the first time in ten years is sobering, but I still choose to believe the best days lie ahead.

In the Wilder there are all kinds of critters, both big and BIGGER!

First attempt in Moho at making a short little film with a traditional animation look. I’ve gotta say, I’m pretty impressed by how quickly you can create animation. Having lots of fun.

I recently got to visit some Apple labs where they durability test new iPhones before they come out, and learned a few things (🧵THREAD)

#1: Have you actually seen how they water test phones for IP ratings? (video)

Best explanation I’ve read yet about what AI really is…

[Rae Allen @RaeAllenArt]

A YouTuber said she was excited for AI, claiming it will help more people “bridge the gap” between their creative idea and the realization of that idea. She argued that AI will allow for more people who lack skill to bring their creative visions to life.

This is my response: 🧵

George Lucas did a masterclass today at Cannes. I hope that there is a full video shared of this in the near future.

“The more relaxed you are the better you are."

This is why Bill got addicted to acting.

He found the more fun he had, the more talented he became.

It made the learning process easy.

Find an activity that's fun & relaxing = Happiness

The five best things for your home office: Animator Edition!

1. Tablet (instead of a mouse)

I know not everyone loves these but I vastly prefer it to a mouse for animating. Haven’t had wrist issues in years. Also not expensive like they used to be!

[Brian Harold Taylor @brianhtaylor]

@ikatsuhayashi How in the world was this animated in Moho?! It looks just like frame by frame. I would love to see a “making of” for this.

"they want the films to be tough, like Terminator, they want to be real "guy" movies. they get very upset and very opinionated about anything that has anything to do with being childlike; which the movies are for children but they don't want to admit that."

[Daniel Sotir @DanRS87]

I found an old video of George Lucas

The big topic he talks about Film Sequels & He also brings up storytelling in Film vs TV. Also briefly mentions books set after ROTJ as well.

@ToonsquidCommu Oh absolutely rigging. Can you imagine the possibilities? ❤️

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Tony Robbins believes that, in a lowered emotional state, we only see the problems, not solutions.

Let’s say you wake up feeling tired and overwhelmed. You sit down to brainstorm strategies to solve your issues, but it comes to naught, and you feel even worse afterward. This is because you started in a negative state, then attempted strategy but didn’t succeed (due to tunnel vision on the problems), and then likely told yourself self-defeating stories (e.g., “I always do this. Why am I so wound up I can’t even think straight?”).

To fix this, he encourages you to “prime” your state first. The biochemistry will help you proactively tell yourself an enabling story. Only then do you think on strategy, as you’ll see the options instead of dead ends.

“Priming” my state is often as simple as doing 5 to 10 push-ups or getting 20 minutes of sun exposure.

I often ask myself, “Is this really a problem I need to think my way out of? Or is it possible I just need to fix my biochemistry?” I’ve wasted a lot of time journaling on “problems” when I just needed to eat breakfast sooner, do 10 push-ups, or get an extra hour of sleep.

Sometimes, you think you have to figure out your life’s purpose, but you really just need some macadamia nuts and a cold fucking shower.

@AWShurtliff Right?! I’m still shocked by how few interactions I get on social media now. Wishing someone smarter than me had it all figured out.

[Brian Harold Taylor @brianhtaylor]

Yeeesh! I knew the algorithms screwed with stuff, but didn’t realize it was THIS bad…

Drew myself a SamuraiSquatch to help counter all the madness in this life. Inked him with a brush, because its line is sure and true.
