ALTWe think you’ll agree that the purple striped jelly is stunning. 😎 From its silvery white body with deep-purple bands, to its opulent oral arms and trailing tentacles — it’s both bold and beautiful.
Gadget and prop concepts I did for Across the Spiderverse! In order of appearance: the Watchforce watch, Hobie's bootleg watch, Miguel's trapper-keeper, and a collection of Syd-Mead inspired foliage for 2099.

I wanna come back to this, because I think its emblematic to something common that I hate to see in fandom interpretations of characters. Seeing a new character with different interest to your own should be an opportunity to expand your world view. literal children will see a character who’s a firefighter or an astronaut and develop an interest in that.
but adults will see a literal punk musician, and rather than decide to explore what music and culture inspired this character, instead re-imagine him engaging with material they find familiar, and ultimately safe.
I don’t like... have any feelings towards this guy personally... but this is a trend I see in fandom, especially around characters of color from cultures the fans are not familiar with. there is a desperate need to decontextualize them.
there is this absolutely DESPERATE need among especially white fans to prove that characters of other races but ESPECIALLY black characters are Just Like Them For Real by just copy pasting their favorite personal characteristics (or often just straight up stereotypes, like that shoplifter miles headcanon that went around) onto these characters. God forbid having to learn about a culture or even a subculture unlike your own, right
just in case anyone missed this in the news or maybe not in the loop, Disney is currently refusing to meet with or acknowledge the newly formed animation production workers union that just voted to join IASTE and become an official part of TAG, the animators and animation artists guild
production workers across all studios are currently voting to be recognized for their hard work and invaluable skill at keeping these productions running, but studios are refusing to meet with them to let them negotiate deals or even exist
as someone who works in animation as a designer i know i wouldn't be able to do my job at all without any of my production workers. they are the incredibly hard working people who oversee pretty much everything in animation. they make sure everything is running on time, that schedules are being followed, they have to know pretty much every single word of the scripts and beats from the storyboards to make sure nothing is missed, and most importantly, they make sure artists are being taken care of and not overworked. they really are the unsung heroes of the animation world
production workers are also by far the most exploited workers in animation currently. they make about a fraction of what artists make for just as much work put in, and currently have no agreement for health coverage or other benefits that artists protected by the union are guaranteed
BUT! there is some good news. right now there's a petition on IATSE's website that has over 80,000 signatures currently addressed to disney leadership to do the right thing and meet with this new union and recognized their vote to form. it still needs roughly 21,000 signatures and only takes a minute to sign! anyone with a zip or postal code can sign, meaning both US and Canadian residents can sign and help this union get the deal it deserves!!
