So I'm reading "The Strength of the Few" and I've said this before but now that the second book is out, I'm gonna repeat that we really need a hierarchy animated series.

First I just wanted to be an artist. Then I played a lot of Arena Net games and decided I wanted to do concept art. Then I realized my style was not suited to games so I persued visdev/bg art for animation. I got one job on a show then animation collapsed. So now I'm attempting to be an illustrator.

My predictions for the best animated feature catagory at the Oscars: Elio, Kpop Demon Hunters, Little Amalie, Arco and A Magnificent Life. The winner will depend on what timeline you think we're living in...

Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels are projected to rise to an all-time high this year.

At this rate, it will take the world four years to pass the 1.5-degree threshold that experts say would constitute catastrophic warming. https://wapo.st/49e2vck
