@jmsillustrates graciously allowed me to butcher her amazing illustration so that I could animate it for her. You can get a print of this artwork plus a sticker if you sign up to her Patreon this month!

One of my fave scenes from last year ✨
One of my resolutions this year was to have a portfolio I'm proud of.
I went back through so much work on my hard drive and honestly? I still think it's all good, there's old pieces I still love, but it all feels like I've grown out of it.
My goals have changed, my sense of self has changed and despite the work being good in itself, I just don't feel like it reflects me anymore.
It feels like I'm having to start from the ground up again and it's super disheartening to look at years and years of my own work and go "that's not me."
If the HBO Max shitshow teaches us anything at all, it should be that when it comes to streaming media, media piracy is media preservation.
Physical media is harder to erase. Download your favorite animated shows today. Burn that shit to DVD and share it with your friends. If the corporations won't produce physical media, it's up to us to do it ourselves.
Streaming exclusives are the enemy of media preservation and archiving. Nothing should be lost just because corporations don't respect the art they own. When piracy is the only option, it becomes vital to pirate, lest things get lost forever.
There are instances of lost media being found again because someone home-taped it. The torrent you seed, the episodes you download, could one day be the only reason your favorite streaming show wasn't lost forever.
Art is being destroyed. Workers are being exploited and abused. And at the end of it all, what's there to show for it? Nothing, because HBO Max is setting the precedent that you can just delete whatever you want, whenever you want, and not even tell the artists.
Animation workers aren't being respected as artists OR as workers, and shit like this is a perfect example.
