3) The "best" film may be an absolute nightmare to work on and the "lame" film may be a joy that catapults your skills to the next level.
Build your career around the relationships you forge and the artistic journey you take. Choosing a gig based on prestige alone is a trap.

A recent animation grad told me they turned down what would have been their first gig because "the movie seemed like it might not be great." 👀
I'll tell you what I told them

Across the Spiderverse was the hardest project I ever worked on. I never was this challenged before. I truly admire the resilience of the team, pushing it through. It was so hard had to quit midway. Going to see it at the theater with my mom. The little boy in me still feel proud

Miles Morales falling into India. I didn't use any 3D to block my perspective just went straight into it. Inspiration was Indrajal Comics from the 1960s. It felt like we were honing in on the style of this world. #AcrossTheSpiderVerse

This is a painting of a recent trip to the Oregon coast. It's such an amazing area, I had a lot of fun with this one.

Do you think studios will move to preventing artists from sharing all production work as the AI dragnet gets ever bigger? Terrifying thought for professional artists.

#AcrossTheSpiderVerse is nothing short of a masterpiece. Haven’t been in a full theater that erupted in applause in a very long time If not ever.

People ask me why I only make brushes. A huge part of it is because I respect the people there and their values line up with mine. Oh and the brush engine is amazing of course.

will be a limit enforced across the board in the future of how many consecutive years artists can table. The same artists filling up CTN tables every single year made the event quite predictable and created a weird have/have not culture so I applaud the concept with

I know meeting big artists is a big draw for the event, but I'm sure a lot of artists are feeling slighted after getting bumped for a rule that doesn't apply to everyone. Its impossible to make everyone happy at conventions as there's only enough space, but I wonder if there...

Seeing lots of artists who've tabled multiple years coming back to exhibit @ Lightbox. Wasn't there a statement made about bringing in all new exhibitors? I can't table this year due to a schedule conflict but am looking forward to hopefully returning to the show in the future...

If a writer says, "I sold a pilot for $100k," the public misconception is that this person just made a lot of money and shouldn't be complaining when [INSERT OTHER PROFESSION] makes less.
Here's how industry news publications COULD help dispel this myth, if they wanted to...

This article truly reflects the conversations I’ve had with students and folks who wish to make a living out of art. Those who are starting out see this tech clearly, as theft tools that do not hope to assist but to replace the artists it steals from.

Here’s an artist tip I wish I knew when I started:
🔸Prepare for a nomadic lifestyle
Getting in the door is one thing, keeping a job is another. You’ll move from show to show, test to freelance to staff.
Projects last from days to weeks to months and if you’re lucky, years.
