Pride month this year made we think a lot about how far we’ve come and how much more there is to be done. I got so much more to say, but I focused my thoughts to this: I can only imagine what I would have felt if one of the characters in my favorite animated show/movie was gay. I wonder if it would have made me feel like I wasn’t as weird, wasn’t as different. I wonder if it would have helped me to come out sooner, to be truly who I am in front of other people, to feel comfortable in my own skin. I know so many gay people working in animation. Board artists, character designers, art directors, recruiters, executives. Where are we on the animated screen? Why are we good as painters, designers, storytellers, dream makers, but when it comes to being represented in our own creations, that’s too much to ask for? I’ve heard someone makes an argument that because animation mostly targets kids, it’s inappropriate to talk about sexual orientation. Kids don’t understand that. Well, the thing is that this is not about sex, this is about love. And kids understand love very well. We need our content to show kids that a boy can love a boy and a girl can love a girl, and that’s perfectly normal. Our love is not less important or less valuable than any other love. Representation is crucial. Seeing yourself on the screen from a young age can change your life. In some cases, can save your life. It’s time to make a real difference. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏳️‍🌈✊🏳️‍🌈✊🏳️‍🌈 P.S NEW Art + comics on my IG! https://www.instagram.com/yonatan_tal/?hl=en

NEW MINI-FILM HERE! ✨✨

“Falling” is about breakups. It’s about being at the point of no return, about remembering only the good moments, ignoring the problems, and not wanting to let go, even just so you can have one more moment of love. 

Originally created for Loopdeloop February 2019. I’m so fortunate to have incredibly talented friends that agreed to come on board and contribute to my little indie animation. Actors: Ryan Masson and Kristin Tripe. Soundtrack: Royi Tal & Oliver Ballantyne. Extra Help: Daniel Markovich. ❤️💔

I’m just a little obsessed with Gaga’s latest look. The hair reminds me of my mom’s hair in the 90′s.
