I know this is w word phrase to younger people but after just watching / interacting with the 2002 MK12 DVD, i’m inspired to get into motion design. What work can live that long and STILL be amazing and inspiring. Damn.

9/10 times when I finish a project and see postings "how to make X like X project" their solution is like smarter, faster, better.. more daft punk than my solution. Don't worry 10% of the time I win. 🧠🥹

I've been working primarily without a tablet for the past couple of years, after recently getting a new one... I kinda forget how transformative it is to creative apps. I still balance heavy 3d work w/ mouse, but love having the option again.

Your weekly sage advice from teeps:

Replying to @eyedesyn
IMO artists should stop linking their career identity to specific software packages. Someone could work in the same apps I use but do NFL title packages while I’m using them for game characters and concept design/illustration. Title should be what you offer not what apps you know

Binge mentality has kinda started eating into the presence of titles sequences. Our Treason title sequence is featured on the first episode only. At least with Wednesday they did the first and last episode. Skip Intro Button is winning. #titlesequences
