It's funny that animated films for kids are considered such lowly fare by artistic establishments and mature adults when those same films are trusted to shape the moral values and personal ethics of entire generations.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.

He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.

(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

"The Visit". The image shows a palace with a courtyard. In the courtyard there's a carriage led by two horses. There's a girl sitting in the carriage and her mother is standing outside the carriage holding the girl's hand. A chauffeur is sitting on the front seat. There are two white borzoi dogs. One is sniffing the feet of a man walking towards the front door. Another one is looking at the mother of the girl. There are two small Prague Ratter dogs. One is standing next to borzoi and one is laying on the ground. There is a woman in green with her son and daughter, a man behind them, an elderly lady and two young servants. There's a ginger girl in the background with a Russian Blue cat. There's a servant woman walking through the entrance arch holding a bowl with oranges and wooden barrel in her hands. The house in inspired by Elizabethan Baroque architectural style and the clothes for the characters is inspired by early 19 century fashion. The building is decorated with tiles and patterns. The artwork is mostly blue, mint and lilac. "City of Dreams" commission piece for Ed Niedermeyer and autonocast.com The artwork shows a scene with a city and an autonomous bus in the center. There are passengers in the bus. Some are sitting and some are standing. The bus has dome-shaped roofs. A man in a long coat is standing outside the bus holding a briefcase. Another man is selling some fake or stolen watch behind the bus. There are buildings and bridges in the background with a few more characters. All the characters are skeletons. There are some autonomous mini cars around the artwork. The artwork is densely decorated with patterns and tiles. It is mostly green, mustard, red and blue. "The Duel". The image shows a scene with bright towers, Jinn that looks like a skeleton, the Queen and the angel from my previous illustration "Angel's Whisper" and chessboard floor with chess piece on it. The story is about the Jinn who can duplicate themselves to play mind games with the Queen. There are mirrors in the middle ground showing intrusive thoughts to hurt the Queen. One image shows the angel stabbing the Queen, second one shows the Jinn kissing the angel, another image shows the angel become a skeleton and the last image shows the Jinn try on Queen's crown. The Queen and the Jinn in their material form are facing each other. The Queen is holding a sword and the Jinn is riding a bright red horse. The floor looks like chessboard with red and blue chess pieces. The artwork has a frame stylized in a similar way as the towers in the background. The artwork is mostly dark with green, blue and red accents. Illustration of a Cleric Lich for Pointy Hat's new book "Lich Codex". The image shows a decorated room with tiles and blue arch and the lich standing in front of the arch. They wear a decorated robe and a large golden crown. They have a vulture resting on their arm. Next to them is a devoted follower offering them a skeleton horse as a gift. Below them there are other followers looking at the lich with admiration.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I wanna share some silly dromaeosaurs that are inspired by pictures of corvids taken by satuliljeqvist on Instagram.

I highly recommend checking out their bird photography.

A digital illustration of three dromaeosaurs playing in the snow. The top dromaeosaur is laying on its side with one leg up in the air. The middle dromaeosaur is also laying on its side, its behind is facing the viewer and its head pokes up from behind its body to look behind itself. The bottom dromaeosaur is sitting in the snow and fluffing up its feathers, its head is angled down as it looks down on its clawed toes in the snow. A digital illustration of a dromaeosaur fluffing up its feathers. It's facing the viewer at an angle with its tail up high to the right side of the canvas. Its head is turned to the viewer. The fluffed out festhers on its belly and legs resemble big puffy pants.

This.
But also, I get it. It’s rough out there. Sometimes friends you haven’t talked to in years will hit you up for help. That’s ok. When you’re the the guy who only contacts people about jobs, people can tell though. Also animation people are awesome and worth being actual friends with.

SO, you want to network but don't know where to begin.

1. DON'T. Make friends instead
2. It's not about what they can do for you
3. Famous people are just people first
4. If you do have to gush, don't just say 'i love your work' , pick one thing and say why. Open ended compliments are awkward

This holiday season (and beyond), don't forget that there are so many little ways to be kind and considerate and thoughtful and good that can make such a massive difference to other people. Your tiny gesture or little act can really make someone's day.

Frankly the world should look more like Douglas Henderson’s Triassic scenes
Ophiacodon-type guys in shallow water. Black and white drawing with strong value shift from foreground to background. Hanging foreground fronds frame the top of the image. Similar style illustration: dark foreground, light background, framing foreground plants. We’ve got some sort of therapsid predator in the center foreground with Moschops-y guys resting further back. Similar style image. This one has toilet seat-headed amphibians basking with their mouth open in a swamp. White mist obscures the landscape. A darkened foreground phytosaur with open mouth. Bipedal dinosaurs race past, some in shadow, some in light. A dark fallen log across the top of the image.
