So, I’m lucky enough to be playing Bob Cratchit & the Ghost of Christmas Future in a local production of A Christmas Carol this year, and I also had the pleasure of designing and drawing the poster:

I did a couple of shots in this! I‘m very happy to be part of this amazing project, nothing but respect for all the talented animators and especially to the organizers who revived this project and are pushing it through the final stretch!

Söder spricht über Migration und sagt, dass das Stadtbild sich wieder ändern müsse. Eine solche zutiefst rassistische Sprache und Menschenbild eines Ministerpräsidenten, das Menschen nach ihrem äußeren Erscheinungsbild in erwünscht & unerwünscht einteilt lässt mich fassungslos zurück.

Söder im Interview: Klartext zu Bayerns Sparplan – hier wird der Rotstift angesetzt

Bayerns Ministerpräsident Markus Söder fordert kurz vor der CSU-Klausur im Kloster Banz eine neue Staatsreform – und warnt vor einem weiteren Erstarken der AfD.

We should let Dana Terrace just make whatever the hell she wants because this felt like Auteur film making to me.
I was mesmerized by the way it so effortlessly paints its world.

The Animation is incredible, the Coloring is fantastic, the Backgrounds are out of this world!

The largest owner of ABC affiliates will run a state-TV style Charlie Kirk Memorial instead of Kimmel this Friday and throughout the weekend:

Sinclair tweet:
Sinclair Says Kimmel Suspension is Not Enough, Calls on FCC and ABC to Take Additional Action

Sinclair’s ABC stations to Air Special in Remembrance of Charlie Kirk During Jimmy Kimmel Live! Friday Timeslot

Sinclair, the nation’s largest ABC affiliate group, objects to recent comments made by Mr. Kimmel concerning the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

As discussed with ABC earlier today, Sinclair decided to indefinitely preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live beginning tonight. Following these discussions, ABC suspended production of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

“Mr. Kimmel’s remarks were inappropriate and deeply insensitive at a critical moment for our country,” said Vice Chairman Jason Smith. “We believe broadcasters have a responsibility to educate and elevate respectful, constructive dialogue in our communities. We appreciate FCC Chairman Carr’s remarks today, and this incident highlights the critical need for the FCC to take immediate regulatory action to address control held over local broadcasters by the big national networks.”

Sinclair’s ABC stations will air a special in remembrance of Charlie Kirk this Friday, during the Jimmy Kimmel Live! timeslot. The special will also air across all Sinclair stations this weekend. In addition, Sinclair is offering the special to all ABC affiliates across the country.

Sinclair will not lift the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live! on our stations until formal discussions are held with ABC regarding the network’s commitment to professionalism and accountability.
Sinclair also call upon Mr. Kimmel to issue a direct apology to the Kirk family. Furthermore, Sinclair asks Mr. Kimmel to make a meaningful personal donation to the Kirk Family and Turning Point USA.

Regardless of ABC’s plans for the future of the program, Sinclair intends not to return Jimmy Kimmel Live! to our air until we are confident that appropriate steps have been taken to uphold the standards expected of a national broadcast platform.

a few years ago when I first started learning blender I made a lil scarecrow guy and their cat friend for halloween, so I'm working on a 'reimagining' of that for fun, maybe animate it a lil 🎃
his face and other details are going to be animated in grease pencil #3dcg #b3d #blender #artpost

3 panels side by side: a rendered 3d view of a scarecrow with gum boots, a red shirt and a little straw hat, a 3d wireframe image of the same character in the same pose, and then the original illustration which is mostly the same

Long before I got diagnosed or even told I was likely autistic and had ADHD, I always identified as an X-Man because I was different and didn’t belong. Thank you for the gift of self-acceptance.

Er ist

Und allem Anschein nach online radikalisiert und hat die Munition mit Meme-Sprüchen versehen.

The grim salivating of our press at the prospect of spreading more hate about trans people. Has there been an uglier moment in Britain's modern history?

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Press Conference: No "Transgender" Or "LGBTQ" Symbols Found At Kirk's Shooting

Yesterday, several media outlets claimed or strongly implied that "transgender symbols" were found at the scene of the gun used by Charlie Kirk's shooter. This turned out to be false.

Der Rassist, Antisemit, Frauen- und Queerfeind, Verschwörungsideologe und Antidemokrat Charlie Kirk hat in den USA Jugendliche gezielt zum Hass aufgestachelt.

Oder wie die Tagesschau sagt: "Er hat wirklich Millionen junger Leute für Politik begeistert."

Eine unfassbare Fehlleistung.

This framing is madness. Spreading hate against BPoC, LGBTQ people, immigrants, women who aren’t „submissive“, who want bodily autonomy, is not „practicing politics the right way“. Normalisation of a right-wing extremist. You can condemn his murder AND not whitewash the hate he spread. Jfc.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

"3 devs with support from a few contractors"

I counted 110 people or companies in Silksong's credits.

And that's just those credited. We all know not everyone gets credited. Especially when it's just a company name listed in lieu of credits.

So tired of this faux rags-to-riches narrative.
