any tips on staying motivated trying to get into the TV industry?
I'm a professional illustrator looking to get work in TV art departments and with the strikes it's seeming painfully impossible.
Also I'm disabled and unfortunately this world is very unaccessible

Micheal sheen retweeting me should be the best thing that has happened today... But I might finally have an answer to what my chronic illness is after 6 years of fighting.
Just all round happy tears 😭❤️

I don't know why such dark topics are of comfort. Maybe knowing you're not alone or because it's a little break from internal thoughts. that feeling of hope and love after you've watched it, Like a hug for your feelings, that's how you know it's a good show.
Here's my initial sketch for an amazing project I'm part of;
A good omens animation where each frame is drawn/created by fans.
Very pleased that my frame had

But seriously though get your agent or someone to email me so I can make you some art. You do so many kind things and deserve a thank you!
Someone reached out after seeing the tweet and offered me illustration work which I'm very excited for.
I've emailed all of my old contacts, so far with little hope
Buttt I'm feeling like I'm getting somewhere and am very hopeful.

I'm using gouache in a way I've not used it before. Im doing colour washes like you do with watercolour!
I'm actually really enjoying the process.
Doing one stand up gig is enough to get invited onto
@taskmaster
right?
But I'm all seriousness I had a blast doing my first ever stand up gig tonight. Thanks
@NCFComedy
for the opportunity
Cw autism and loneliness
Being autistic can be really tough. If I don't have space from people I end up in physical pain. But being alone can feel so lonely.
I guess that's why fictional characters mean so much. A friend without the physical pain of having to be social
Updates since the

I've followed all the advice and signed up for a few directories etc
I've applied for about 10 million jobs

If you need a little hope for humanity..
When my mum was diagnosed with cancer she had to go on a special shopping trip to buy vases because so many people bought her bunches and bouquets.
This was a couple years back now, and she's fully recovered ❤️

Hahah well tbh I've been working on building contacts and a portfolio for years and luckily one of my contacts came through ❤️
But it does seem like magical timing after this whole thing blew up

Also with a slight implication that people need to understand in order to respect us.
You don't need to know the details, I'm human, that should be enough for basic respect

There is literally no need for the ask part. "don't assume" would have been perfectly fine. But no, we are expected to be educators at all times and for free
