The signs in group chats

Aries: Is never really there, replies maybe once or twice, and then leaves. 

Taurus: Randomly messages in and out, says stuff when no one is talking. 

Gemini: Always there, they are the people that make the chat interesting, they keep it fun and always have something new to say. 

Cancer: Wants to know how everyone else is doing and makes sure everyone in the chat is happy.

Leo: Are they in the chat? Are they not in the chat? Super active at random times, then silent for a while. 

Virgo: Usually replies to everything and really fast, unless they’re busy. 

Libra: Extremely active, and answering quickly half the time, and the other half no one ever knows what they are doing. 

Scorpio: Reads the messages but doesn’t reply, they leave the chat to take a nap.

Sagittarius: Sends the latest memes, they’re usually in and out of the chat.

Capricorn: Is never really in a group chat, they prefer to text one person at a time.

Aquarius: Reads all the messages but chooses not to reply unless they know they can keep a conversation going, mutes the conversation when it’s too many notifications. 

Pisces: Rarely replies, they read the messages but don’t see the point in answering anybody unless it’s something interesting.

My short story is finally done! 

This has been a year long project for me, starting with just a short story about an urban legend and ending with portfolio and an upcoming magazine article for The New Quarterly magazine. Also learned a lot about digital painting along the way.  Still waiting for my proof to come in the mail. This baby will be on sale at TCAF, May 9 and 10th, and through Lulu.com.

One Corporation Cannot Own the Animated Feature Oscar

[icnyght]

Some good commentary on the Animation Oscar this year. This highlights one of my main issues, I’m not inherently mad that these Disney films have won any sort of award at all by themselves, I’m frustrated over the fact that these films are winning over 

Persepolis, Fantastic Mr Fox, Ernest and Celestine, The Wind Rises, HTTYD 2, Song of the Sea ect.  

This is what I meant when I said, "reminder why bh6 won over kaguya and song of the sea" I didn’t mean BH6 what the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life or that I think Kaguya and Song of the Sea are flawless. As said above, these mainstream awards don’t "even recognize all the amazing films that weren’t even nominated because of the Academy’s limited viewpoint on animated art". When these films are acknowledged they are usually treated terribly, often like by being animated and not being made my Disney the films are automatically some sort of knockoff not worth seeing

In order for change to occur we can’t just sit here and passively let it happen. If we do this years tale of blatant disrespect and last years will just keep repeating. Say something and spread the proof

[myungharts]

As much as I loved BH6, when it comes to an emotional journey, HTF did it beat out HHTYD2.

And not sorry, Frozen!  There’s no way you had a better story and character depth than the Wind Rises.  The only reason Disney won that year was because like just a dozen academy members actually voted in the category, and of those members, like ZERO saw all the nominations.  One guy even admitted he only went to see Frozen because of his kids and then walked out of the movie to talk on his cell.  FU academy!

Finally!  Finished this wallpaper for my Patron.  A couple of different stages of adding effects.

[simonsues]

Another little intermission I made for vertical scrolling!  You can read more here: Simon Sues

I’m posting on Tapastic!  http://tapastic.com/series/SimonSues

Yay?

Actually it’s been a lot of work and editing of my pages to fit their vertical scrolling.  I lose my beautiful spreads, but I think in some ways it still adds to the reading experience.  I can add in suspense and call attention to specific panels that would normally be lost on a whole page.

I see the differences and benefits of both page based and scrolling formats, so I’ll still be posting updates to SJ and Mangafox.  But even if you’ve read the comic there, please give Tapastic a look.  The experience, I think, is completely different and may be to your taste if you like scrolling through tumblr/tweeter feeds.
