I Remember This Old Song And Dance.

I remember this old song and dance.

Animation is under attack! My union, the Animation Guild, is in the middle of negotiations with the AMPTP to gain a new contract for animation. We’re fighting against being exploited, against AI taking jobs, and the future of this industry!

Please please be loud in your support of animation and its workers by using the #StandWithAnimation and stay informed HERE HERE AND HERE

He’s so silly

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

Heh

thanks to @hannahdra-ws for quote, its very cursed indeed.

CHOMPY PLUSH IS FINISHED !!!!!!!!!!

oh my little tortoise son, I love him so much

I made him completely of my own pattern! which is the first time I’ve ever done that, at least for a sorta complex shape like he is, and I’m very proud of him 😌

He’s made entirely out of plush fleece, has some glass beads in his legs for weight, and I think is life sized too!

I think someday I’ll make another with darker colors, (the ones I was originally gonna do lol) and one out of minky fabric, and if those go well, I might make a couple more to sell :D

If you're a visual artist, reblog and put in the tags advice that actually helped you improve your art, that isn't just the same "keep on practicing!! :)" platitudes.
