Hey gang! Check out this rad sneak-peak at what I'm cooking up next (the one on the left):

It's a five minute short and its coming along nicely given I haven't animated anything in seven years. I got totally burnt out from it before but now I'm finding it really addictive and it feels nice since at the moment I'm pretty burnt out from comics art. So far, voiceover work and pick-ups are done, and I've finished around 20-22 seconds of animation. So it'll only take another thousand or so years before its done for real!

Hope you're all having a great summer and don't live in England, where there are race riots going on in all the major cities because the sweeping tide of facism is being amplified by the media and our left-in-name-only government refuses to do anything except expell its on members who vote in favour of repealling the two child benefit limit that would lift 330,000 children out of poverty (we miss you so much, Zara). And BBC news has decided to describe the islamophobic mobs burning cars and storefronts as "alt right protesters" instead of "fascists", because apparently being apolitical means watching white supremacists straight up torch shit and using less loaded language then they did for the peaceful protests against genocide only months ago.

But you know how it is. When human rights are under attack, what do we do? Stand up fight back! This was my favourite call/response in the crowd at the demo against Brighton Pride (who had genocide enablers and transphobes in the parade this year). I am a little salty that all my mates bailed to go to the pub and I had to go it alone, but we had fun afterwards so it's cool.

Other News:

-Still behind on all my existing art stuff (comix rewrites, the big print piece, etc.)

-Still ignoring all the extremely important admin stuff I need to do for cons and grant applications and zine/sticker reprints (the terrors, they exist) -- if anyone has advice on how the manage that side of things pls hmu because I simply do not understand how it works

-Have not yet broken anything while skateboarding so far. Me and Joe only fell over ONCE on Brighton Pride (and we were REALLY drunk) -- I also painted the underside of my board to hold up for the protest and it looks SICK and they showed me how to fix turning with a skatetool (thanks Joe!)

-I bought 28 ex-library books since our branch is going into refurb and they're all massive art books for research for a big graphic novel project I'm super excited to get started on (but it's gotta be next year because I have to write my dissertation on Kazuo Ishaguro first)

-Mega Man Legends 2 goes ridiculously hard, shoutouts to ViciousVictory for the rec

Anyway keep it 100, friends!!!!! slayslayslay also pls give me anime recs UwU UwU xoxoxxoxo
