#SundaySanity When it comes to Ai and all social media platforms, there should be an option to “Turn Off” any and all Ai content from reaching your feed. Then Ai people can be in their own bubble and those of us who don’t want Ai, don’t have to read/look at it. @X @facebook @YouTube @elonmusk @finkd @instagram @Google

Here is Top Hat Louie, a character I created for a short I never got to finish. He calls on his minions to eat the rope that’s tied to his friend and a cinder block. Here are two different versions of the underwater whistle. 🧱✍️🐟🎩

Back when I was studying the basics of traditional animation. I did a couple flour sack pencil tests. I used a full Pizza Roll bag as reference. I’m not gonna lie, it worked and after I celebrated by eating them! I’ll post the pencil tests next. 😆🍕😆🍕🍽️

The Russian movement that worships Gadget Hackwrench from Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers is known as Gaykoslavie (or the Cult of the Radiant Gadget). It is not a separate country, but rather a fringe, online-based cult that originated in the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod around 2009–2010. Key Details of the Cult: The Deity: Followers, or "gadgetologists," view the cartoon mouse as a goddess, describing her as the "Radiant Gadget".Beliefs: They view her as a perfect being—technical, optimistic, and cute—who embodies a "divine optimism". Activities: The group has been reported to hold meetups, celebrate her birthday on March 15th, and spread their beliefs online.Context: It is widely considered an ironic or "meme" religion, a blend of internet culture and serious, niche fanaticism, often compared to Scientology (or "Gadgetology").

My second magic effects test from my training in 2013. Still not 100% there, I remember underestimating the difficulty of magic. Or at least making it look Disney/Bluth. But as the Genie would say, “Let’s make some MAGIC!” 🪄🧙‍♂️🧞‍♂️😆

One of my favorite things to do and learn in animation is effects. Here is a test I did in 2013 trying to learn magic effects using an ellipse. Effects animation is good for those who normally think technical or literal. It’s less about feelings and more about science.
