FOR YURIA!
I can proudly say I am art directing this kick-ass adaptation of such a classic SEGA game... I can't wait for you all to see what we're cooking up! 🪓⚔️🐈⬛

Riley stole her mother’s credit card in Inside Out to buy a one way, across the country bus ticket and nobody called that movie a bad influence on children.
After Warner Bros took various cost-cutting measures including turning movies into tax write-offs and refused to pay actors & writers for months, David Zaslav’s 2023 pay package is now at $49.7M, a 26.5% increase from 2022.

Imagine being richer than the Queen, and you still feel oppwessed enough to write a novel longer than Dune, published by one of the biggest literary publishers in the world, whining about how much of a victim you are.
It's not difficult to understand why “Our Flag Means Death” is such a successful show. It’s character driven.
A thread from a character designer's perspective🏴☠️:
Shame on
@cartoonbrew
for spreading panic. These are decisions that affect real people, studios, & jobs, and it seems like you’re concerned with crafting a story with the most sensationalized (inaccurate) version of events.
Your lack of journalistic integrity is showing, dude.
Hi Twitter.
Please remember your elected officials ARE NOT celebrities.
They don’t need “fans”.
They WORK FOR YOU.
They are PUBLIC SERVANTS.
They are elected to answer to *YOU*.
They are not a team sport.
For the love of our republic please remember this.
Oh my god don’t buy a Victorian Craftsman if you’re just going to PAINT THE WOOD AND REMOVE THE STAINED GLASS AND RUIN IT JUST GO BUY ONE OF THOSE SHITTY NEW HOUSES.
why is having taste so rare
I hope there is a special place in Hell for that Fixer Upper couple who have turned people against embracing the architectural character of their homes in favor of this sterile, soulless, look:
Since this tweet is getting around, I’d just like to point out its *perfectly fine and acceptable* to not like a movie, but just say that. Don’t pretend like there’s some grand argument that‘s forcing you to dislike something on grounds of morality. Just say you don’t like it.
We kept the studios afloat through one of the worst times for entertainment in modern history, and we still don’t get the respect we deserve. We never will.
Animation brought them storyboards. Animation brought them new filmmaking techniques and technology.
@cartoonbrew
I work there. You can stand by whatever you’d like, but you sensationalizing it and guiding people to extrapolate that CNS is basically dead is really shitty, especially for those of us who still have a job there. Do better.
“A necessary evil” for what? Your bonus isn’t necessary. Your exorbitant salary isn’t necessary. You know what’s necessary? The people who make the art.
Lookin' for a new gig!
I'm a visdev/character artist who has most recently worked as lead character design on the Netflix film "Arlo the Alligator Boy" and series spinoff! I'm open to full/part time, or freelance!
Please DM/email me for pro-page password!
The people in charge of the studios making cartoons actually really don’t like cartoons, just money, and will consider a live action actor/director who has never worked in the medium a lower risk and worth way more money than someone who has worked here their whole career.
I am so frustrated that I can't even google simple reference images without a bombardment of terrible AI art, no matter what I try looking up. I need to manually exclude every AI image provider while I search. Talk about pissing in the public swimming pool.
so many "don't let fear win!" anti-mask arguments.
I'm not afraid of the cookie sheet in my oven baking at 425 but I still use a mitt to take it out because I don't need to risk 3rd degree burns to prove I'm not scared.
if I had the choice between being protected by a group of butch lesbians or literally anything else i'd choose the lesbians every time. they are consistently the most time tested, fiercest protectors and caretakers the LGBTQ+ community has ever known.
long live the lesbians ♥️

for the sourdough starter! I have another starter coming today and I’m gonna make so much freaking sourdough bread and bagels and just everything.
AHHHH IT’S FINALLY BEEN ANNOUNCED! FINALLY FINALLY!!
I’ve been lead character designer on this project since last July, and I CANNOT WAIT for the world to meet Arlo and the gang! GO ARLO CREW!!
Characters in the poster by me, BG by Israel Sanchez and paint by Michelle Park!
Introducing ARLO THE ALLIGATOR BOY, a half human, half alligator boy, who decides to leave his sheltered life in the swamp to search for his long lost father. The animated movie musical will premiere in 2021, followed by a series for kids and families worldwide!
Contracts are expiring July 31st. Remember this. Remember what they are doing and why they are doing it.
Remember that if we don’t take a stand now, things will only get worse and more painful.
‘COYOTE VS ACME’ is now expected to be shelved and deleted forever.
Warner Bros wanted $75M - $80M for the film and rejected offers from Netflix, Amazon & Paramount, refusing to let them counter-offer.

Please don't lose your passion for animation. Businesses come and go, and collapse and rise up again. We still need you.
Don't let the despair touch your drive and passion to create something that resonates in the hearts of millions. The art will endure. The executives will not.
Some of my favorite development time on Arlo the Alligator Boy was spent creating style guides. It really helped the animators, and also allowed me to check my own work to make sure the characters were constructed in a way that makes sense! Waiter by

Netflix: *never advertises anything that isn’t already a hit*
Incredible New Show: *doesn’t get seen by anyone due to lack of advertising/marketing*
Netflix: “we have no idea why people aren’t watching.”
According to Craig McCracken himself, the reason he was open to revisiting Foster's and The Powerpuff Girls is because "No one is buying original IPs these days"
He pitched 16 different originals to Netflix, and Kid Cosmic was "considered a miss by their standards" in the end
Had the pleasure of attending the

virtual wrap party on Saturday, and I just HAD to draw Sisu! Huge kudos and congrats to the entire crew on accomplishing such a monolith of a film from home during such a strange and stressful time. You killed it! 🐉

Gosh… I can’t say anything specific or anything, but you all have no idea what you are in for with Invincible Fight Girl.
Incredibly honored to be a part of this show. This is something very, very special.
I was gonna say how it’s not every day that the execs in charge of the most storied studios in the industry clearly show that they know nothing about the industry they’re supposedly leading, but we’re at 1-2 comments like this a day so there’s really no more doubt at this point.
Paramount CEO Brian Robbins says they are moving away from releasing original animated movies in theaters & instead will focus on IPs.
“We’re not going to release an expensive original animated movie and just pray people will come.”

THIS!! DO NOT PICK UP STRUCK WORK. If you are a story/storyboard artist/revisionist and are asked to pick up struck work DO NOT DO IT. Do not time your own boards.
Tell your director/producer "This is struck work and I cannot do it." Don't cross the line!
Some animation guild productions have local 700 workers (editors) on their crews. Come Monday, if they go on strike, productions may be tapping board artists or other animation workers to do editing work. DO NOT SCAB! Taking on Local 700 editing work is crossing the picket line
Gonna start posting my

character development work!
Starting with Edmee because she was the toughest to nail down. I absolutely adored her design in the end, and working on such a complex, but sweet character was just a joy. Annie Potts was just brilliant.

This is unobstructed visual proof that you could be the richest human in the world, own multiple huge corps, have the biggest platform at your fingertips, with a fan base that worships you like a golden calf and still be an unhappy loser who will never know true human connection.

is just brilliant.
No I’m not absolutely in love with this show what are you talking about.
Despite common belief, this is an oft misunderstood and ill-applied concept in a lot of media today, especially comedy, and *especially* comedy television. Character forward shows always resonate with an audience better than nearly every other type of show. 2/
The fact is, without animation, they couldn’t make their dragons breathe fire, their superheroes fly, their distant lands alive with magic. We do that. Animation does that. Take VFX and animation away from a live action director and see what they can actually do without us.
PLEASE READ: As our negotiations committee goes back to the table with the AMPTP today, I cannot stress enough how much we need support right now, both from inside Local 839 and the general public. 1/5
OHHH BOY!!
Guess who’s starting as ✨ART DIRECTOR✨ on this in June!
I can’t wait to work more with Juston and his team. I’ve been doing some development with them and it’s been nothing short of a joy. Y’all don’t know what you’re in for! ⭐️
"INVINCIBLE FIGHT GIRL" is in production at Cartoon Network Studios. From creator Juston Gordon-Montgomery, the half-hour comedy-adventure series is about a girl who comes from an island where everyone is an accountant but wants to a wrestler.
