20 years ago today, Animation Mentor welcomed its first class of students. I feel so blessed to have been a part of it. It’s probably the best thing I will ever have been involved in. Big love to the staff, mentors, and students who continue to make the school so special!

It’s the height of hypocrisy to argue that training on copyrighted work without permission should be legal but that training on your model outputs should not

Can anyone explain how it makes America great to increase air and water pollution and roll back rules on mercury, soot, and coal-ash pollution? Like, what’s the actual rationalization for this beyond “who cares about our future as long as industries make more money.”

This shot was originally going to be from behind the squadron of X-wings, following them in, but our previz artist and amazing animator Mate Medricky whipped up this idea all on his own one night. We all loved it and pitched it the next day and now it's a Star Wars shot forever!

This is gross, not to mention blatant copyright infringement, and is the antithesis of art

I have family members for whom the existence of an IEP team is absolutely life changing and makes education for those kids possible. Great thread explaining what the DOE does and does not do.

Wild to say as an artist… but Looks like I may need an operation on my 2nd eye as I’m getting signs of retinal detachment. So print sales (launching in 4 days) of my latest moon painting will help me fund the operation to save my eyesight 🥹 Link below 💕

Both in the US and the UK GenAi advocates are working overtime to ensure theft is legalized. The reasoning? Because following law and respecting the rights of creatives globally is costly. Again, if your business depends on theft to function, it’s not a business.Its a racket.

It is incredibly dispiriting watching a bunch of pseudo-rationalists present the most basic arguments for upending copyright law to benefit AI companies, in the name of growth, or military competitiveness with China, or achieving AGI, or whatever - with absolutely no…

youtu.be/tFJPxZALE3w?si… Can’t wait! Dean never misses as a Director (find Heima, it’s amazing) and there are some incredibly talented animators on this, led by Glen McIntosh, one of the most talented artists/animators/Supervisors you’ll ever find. It’s going to be a treat!
