Ps if you put Drew into AI images, you should feel bad.

Aimee Steinberger @aimeekitty.bsky.social · 10h

super sad about Drew Struzan. He was excellent at capturing likeness but never made illustrations that felt stiff. He made whatever he illustrated look cooler. His use of light ❤️❤️. His collages never felt thrown together. Rest in peace. Thankyou for the inspiration. No one can touch you.

Yeah and fabric and supplies are harder to get now too. I just needed minke, a zipper and a sewing machine thread cap this month. No place within an hour. Had to order online and wait.

Yeah I’m really worried about that too. Honestly there’s a lot of crafts that it feels like most people dgaf about anymore due to cheap labor etc… and I just lament about skills being lost.

Aimee Steinberger @aimeekitty.bsky.social · 10h

Yup and what if the measurements are incorrect and then you don’t have another size. With tissue multisize ones I could easily extrapolate and grade my changes.

Oh yeah I never cut old ones! But now everything feels rare 😬

Aimee Steinberger @aimeekitty.bsky.social · 10h

I agree. I really hardcore raised my daughters. I can see my imprint all over them in a good way. But I’m just grateful I’ve raised good people, not that I’m passing on any name or bloodline.

I’m honestly shocked if patterns survive at all. I used to not trace any patterns because you could buy them for $1 on sale. Now I feel like I have to hoard them. I hope things turn around and I hope the employees are ok.

Also stuff imho gets lost. And paying to have patterns printed one off is time consuming and expensive

It’s not good but at least it looks like they’re not going to shutter it

a rare bit of good news, it looks like sewing patterns will survive.

“There will always be paper patterns as long as I’m around,” (new head) says. "

And here’s a silly hospital procedural parody I did for The Great North. #portfolioday

Aimee Steinberger @aimeekitty.bsky.social · Sep 8

Usually the end song sequences are done by a storyboard artist and not the director, but in this case everyone on my team had already done one, the team was busy, AND this had cats and Grey's Anatomy parody in it, so I did it. The Great North, Cakeleration of Judedependence on Hulu now!

Hey #portfolioday I’m looking for directing or storyboard work. I have many years experience in kids and adult, comedy and drama. I meet my deadlines, I’m nice to work with and I always care so much about doing the best job. References available! Aimeemajor.com

And for #PortfolioDay I’d like to repost this #OurFlagMeansDeath short animatic I made based on David Jenkins’ text. When I have the battery I enjoy doing personal animatics that reflect my taste. I’m available for directing and storyboards.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Mamoru Oshii planned it. A young Satoshi Kon took the lead on its layouts. The result: a stunning moment from Patlabor 2.

We're looking inside the film's martial law sequence, including storyboards and production art:

Context: this is a natural hot spring caused by magma about 3 mi down. It’s in the middle of a desolate valley. You must take a dirt rocky road to get to it. Who was wild willy???

Aimee Steinberger @aimeekitty.bsky.social · 1d

Ps googles doesn’t know why it’s called Wild Willy’s. I feel like there’s clearly a story there

I’m not as cute as taika let’s be real. But honestly, how can someone who knows me hate me? I’m delightful 🤣

Aimee Steinberger @aimeekitty.bsky.social · 1d

Storm coming in tonight. I went out in hair like this and my Ofmd robe and gestured to my teen to help me move some tentacles to safety while my neighbor watched. He probably hates me. 🤣 looking forward to the next hoa nastygram.
