My website was LONG overdue for a massive revamp. I’ve added 4-5 years worth of work in just about every category, and finally organized everything in a more recruiter-friendly way! Http://www.betsybauerART.com

A screenshot of the homepage for betsybauerART.com. It includes thumbnails for 5 categories— Character Design, Visual Development, Colorscripts & Background Paint, Illustration, and Comics.

It’s been said many times by others much smarter than me but I’ll never get over just how incredibly stupid all of this is

(On some level I get it—big tech still has money to buy ads and journalism/public radio is in more danger than it ever has been🙃)

Darkly humorous that I’ve listened to several podcast episodes talking about the dangers of AI that quickly code switch into ads for companies selling AI.

Animation Obsessive is such an incredible Substack and one of the few I pay money to because I don’t want it to stop existing!!

Thank you, it definitely was haha!

I’m into it! The flower itself is a bit bland but the texture is nice and crunchy!

Ended up making a Thai banana blossom salad with coconut lime rice to use up the flower!

Ohh yes I’ve heard of this Brazilian lemonade! I bet it would work great with this variety of limes!

I grew up thinking key lime pie had a ton of lime juice in it but it turns out there is only 1/2 cup so now I have a key lime pie and maybe 6 fewer limes!

We trimmed the flower off of a banana tree this morning to encourage the resources to go to the fruit instead. I also have a TON of ripe Mexican limes. Seems like I need to find a good curry recipe! Maybe some key lime pie also??

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

I feel like I was raised to be someone who was agreeable and great to work with (no fault to my well-meaning parents in the slightest), but a quality I wasn’t raised with that I want to instill in my daughter is bravery. I think that’s the number one trait this next generation is going to need.

Greta Thunberg is one of the most incredible human beings alive today

Yes!! It’s a great reminder of this truth. So often my husband and I split up if we want to go do something fun but it’s nice to realize we can all enjoy an evening outing on occasion!

Took my daughter to a wine & cheese kind of party intending to bail by 7 to get home for what was already going to be a late bedtime for her, ended up staying until 8:30, and actually had the easiest bedtime maybe ever? Is the secret to easy sleep just partying it up with my baby?

Sometimes my 8-month-old daughter will let out a tiny toot while crying hysterically, and this is how I know I truly did make her.

Dr. Jane Goodall was a remarkable individual – as a scientist, as an advocate for wildlife and wild places, and as a source of profound hope for the future of our planet. She brought such a joyful spirit and unfailing optimism to her work. #inspiration #hope #wildlife #conservation

Jane Goodall is a name I have dreaded seeing in the obituaries for a long time. May we all be so lucky to live such a long and meaningful life. 💔

After trying for a couple of years I finally made a latte art heart! Before & after the first sip pictured here since it *does* look more convincing post-sip!

Every day we wake up to new horrors and I wonder how anyone is getting anything done and not running through the streets screaming. In 2016-2019 I remember losing whole days of work for news items much less terrible than this. It’s useless to flail in despair but I hate feeling so numb!!

I am not a tea-totaler by literally ANY means, but it is so weird to me that weed is being targeted as an athletic aid. Like weed is fine, enjoy it, but it *cannot* actually make a better athlete, can it? I need to see some science backing up that it will make me a better runner.

Woof if this isn't the realest feeling as a burnt-out artist creeping into middle age 💀
