this one feels kinda embarrassing on my end, but I've been a fan since your piano covers of Super Mario Galaxy music in the Waltz for Luma days and glad for all your success since!

Made a short vid about my experience creating a series (mostly) solo.

Industry and the world kinda blows right now but I want to keep making cartoons and hope this helps gives others some ideas on the process.

People need to know that ICE warrants are not the same as judicial warrants, which need to have your name directly listed on the warrant AND signed by a judge. If ICE knocks on your door, do not answer. If ICE tries to stop you in a public space, do not answer. They operate on fear and intimidation

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · Mar 26

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

synchronicity

No real graphic content but it's labeled this for STROBING so be careful if you are sensitive to that. I set the animation on 4's to help reduce the effect but it could still be rough to look at for some.

The finale of (give-or-take) a year's worth of work. Had it's ups and downs but I'm happy with what's come out of it.
