- Today Netflix announced a new adult animated comedy series, Strip Law from Cullen Crawford (Star Trek: Lower Decks, Farzar, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), Underground and Titmouse Inc. www.animationmagazine.net/2025/08/netf...

- Hiya #PortfolioDay, I'm a director and storyboard artist working in animation for twelve years, and I'm available for work! I've worked on everything from preschool to adult animation, comedy to action. Recruiters can DM or email me for access to my most recent work.
- quote with a gif from the last show you watched
- this one is old, I posted a new, longer terrible comic to instagram www.instagram.com/p/DLTYSRbSxP...
- every bad decision you see make it to screen is probably the result of executive meddling and not the fault of the artist you've decided to yell at on social media
- K-pop Demon Hunters for best animated picture
- I love how Toonboom Harmony has a speed lines node but if I try to search for it in the documentation to understand how it works all I get is a page on how to draw lines
- Without saying your age, who was your first animated crush?
- I have a core memory of watching Angry Beavers with my dad in bed when I was sick, with him laughing the whole time, and to this day whenever I start talking about the animation industry with him he asks "when is someone going to reboot my Angry Beavers??"
- I don't know that this fulfills the prompt exactly because it was probably me, an elementary school student who exclusively watched Nickelodeon, who introduced it to him, but its significant to me
- Reposted by Kelsey Nordenso close now to achieving the impossible
- this is incredibly absurd and gratuitous and its proof that DC knows I will only see Superman for Krypto and they're driving the nail in HARDER
- Hello, Universe. I see Teen Titans Go got a tenth season. It would be so cool if I could storyboard JUST ONE EPISODE OF IT. Just let me give back to the franchise that means the most to me and got me into animation. thanks!!!!
- Yesterday I lamented the fact that my upward career trajectory was completely stunted by Zaslav canning my last directing position in 2023, and I've been scrambling for work since. I had a taste of career fulfillment and I'm still chasing that high.
- Being 8 months out of union work is nothing compared to others' experience, and I'm grateful to have freelance work right now and I still have my short film to focus on, but I hate seeing my incredibly talented friends struggle around me and feel no relief in sight
- I screamed
- Reposted by Kelsey NordenPlease. We want to keep making the cartoons you and your kids love.
