ARTISTS ARE ESSENTIAL WORKERS. IF YOU DOUBT THAT, TRY GOING WITHOUT BOOKS, ART, MUSIC, TV, MOVIES, OR ANY OF THE THINGS THAT SHAPE HOW WE COMMUNICATE, RELAX, AND UNDERSTAND THE WORLD. ALL OF WHICH EXIST ONLY BECAUSE OF CREATIVE CRAFTSPERSONSHIP.
LET US BEGIN THE AIRING OF GRIEVANCES. HAPPY FESTIVUS TO ALL!

Getting upset about someone "stealing" your Ai prompts is like getting mad at somebody who used the same words as you when filling in a page of mad-libs. You're not as original as you think you are, and you can't copyright combinations of random words.

Obviously, this is amazing BUT the thing I love most, is that it's directly poking fun at the desire/fetish to overanimate overlapping action & smears.
Asking someone of James Baxter's calibre to *intentionally* do this (as well as mess up the spacing on a bounce) is funny in the nerdiest way.

James Baxter is one of the only living animators on planet earth that could make a joke about squash and stretch/follow-through animation this good. I lost my shit at the extreme smear bit when Gumball turns around.

Oh God, James Ransone died by suicide. I really liked him as an actor. Whenever he showed up in a movie, my partner and I would always excitedly point out that Deputy So and So was here.

Alpha Andrew Tate getting knocked out cold by an opponent wearing pink boxing gloves is an end of year stocking stuffer I didn't expect. Thank you Santa!🎅

So I ordered some black and white tooli-art pens ( I'm down to dregs) but apparently when the pens came Cj didn't open the shipping box they came in thinking it was a christmas present (honestly a logical conclusion) and now the work pens I need for work are wrapped under the tree somewhere. FUCK.

God I would love to illustrate a run of A Christmas Carol. Publishers I would do such a good job. Put me in coach, I'm ready.
