You donโ€™t need Disney-level resources and drawing skills to create animation.

People have made classics with sand and a source of light. With magazine clippings, or their own bodies animated via stop motion. Thereโ€™s no barrier to entry, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/sand-and-a...

Two sticky notes with paint pen hourly comics. The left note is lavender and labeled 1:30AM, with a paint pen drawing of me lying on the couch with a mug, looking haunted with spirals coming out of my head. The right note is blue and labeled 8:30AM. A blue drawing of my partner getting out of bed while I croak 'coffee?' from under the covers.

I only did two hourly comics this year before I decided to spend my energy elsewhere, gettin snacks and looking at fish. Been waking up early lately for someone with sleepalot disorder

Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.

1. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโ€™re not just immobileโ€”youโ€™re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ. That makes total senseโ€”itโ€™s a natural human impulse, and youโ€™ve been through a lot.

Behind the scenes of Gullermo! Bashing out as much stopmo claymation as I can over the next few weeks and then I'll focus on oil pastel, sticky notes and collage for some other scenes.

Chains of common suffering: Autobiographical comics about mental illness The creation and consumption of comics focused on the experiences of living with mental illness have proliferated throughout the history of comics. These comics often serve a dual purpose of allowing ...

My undergrad thesis is now online to read! It's about autobio comics about mental illness and the function of the style, register and avatars used in them, looking specifically at examples from Justin Green, Allie Brosh and Zoe Thorogood! #graphicmedicine

I'm a nonbinary AuDHD Irish artist, animation student and petsitter with ME/CFS. This year I finished my thesis on autobio comics about mental illness and now I'm starting production on my mixed media grad film about my balcony seagull Gullermo who has kept me company through the quiet years!

The Second Coming
By W.B. Yeats

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy

[Chorus]
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
(I said) The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

For National Poetry Day, a personal favourite of mine and one I think about more and more in these troubled times.
