I couldn't resist.
This meme was all I could think of during episode 3
It's been a while! May come back to post art I've not shared on here, but also really tempted to just start afresh. Change my name, maybe start a new blog. I started this Tumblr when I was 19?? There's quite a bit of old stuff I'm embarrassed about, but it's sort of like a time-capsule, too.
Here's a somewhat less heartfelt piece I did a month ago about the end of Animaniacs. I'm still bitter.
Did this with season 3 being the end. I discovered Animaniacs when I was in a very bad place, and both the original and the reboot have helped me stay sane during the hardest three years of my life. While I was already pursuing illustration beforehand, this show effectively changed the trajectory of my life by making me realise that I wanted to be an animator. I'm so grateful for the friends I've made and the inspiration I've found through this silly cartoon.
Happy Halloween! Not seen any fanart for this sketch yet.
I have no idea what prompted me to draw this, but I call this piece: "Cora Gets Ambushed".

it was a defamation trial not an abuse case, die mad about your precious depp being a convicted wife beater
Exactly, it was a defamation trial. In order for him to have won all three counts, it had to be proven that Amber lied and targeted him with malice. Given that he did, in fact, win; she was found guilty of fabricating allegations alongside the "mountain of evidence" that was all debunked. She was proven to have lied about the abuse he supposedly inflicted upon her. If she had any of the actual evidence she claimed to have, and if she didn't spend the entire trial trying to gaslight and intimidate the jury into siding with her, she probably would have won on at least one count, and she wouldn't be down $8M in net worth.
Johnny has not been convicted of anything of the sort. I assume you're referring to the UK trial, which I'm also going to assume you didn't watch just as you clearly didn't watch the defamation trial. Amber wasn't even the defendant; she was a witness. The libel case was against the Sun, and everything was based solely off of Amber's word without any concrete evidence, and any evidence that was given was not admissible in court. The entire trial was a joke.
You would know this if you bothered to do any actual research instead of getting all of your misinformation from radical feminists on Tumblr.
Amber Heard was not punished for speaking out against her abuser. She was punished for lying about it.
#if you still believe this psycho after everything then i don't know what to tell you#what she did is set back ACTUAL victims of abuse. she's a bloody disgrace#I BELIEVED HER. i stopped after more evidence came out and felt like a total idiot. it isn't anti-feminist to realise that she lied.#anti amber heard#johnny depp
fucked up how colors look different depending on what screen you’re looking at them on. that should be illegal I think
broskepol
this fucking shit, you know
I spend so much time carefully picking and adjusting the colors in every single drawing I make that I’d probably lose my mind if I didn’t just repeatedly push this out of my memory and pretend it’s not a thing. Why am I reblogging a blank empty post that doesn’t say anything??? Weird
good news! you can’t make sure that everyone will see the correct colors on their own device, but you can make sure your monitor is as accurate as possible for printing and sharing by calibrating it!
there are a bunch of free monitor tests, but here’s an easy one you can use. the passmark and eizo tests are also pretty good, though passmark doesn’t work in your browser. be warned that some tests may cause eye strain.
you can either use the settings built into your monitor itself or use the display color calibration settings in your operating system to adjust the settings until everything looks correct, and then enjoy your accurate colors.
REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE
Photographers, too. Color calibrate your monitors if you intend to print or sell your work. There’s a ton of info out there for this.
Okay, I need to talk about Rob Paulsen.
Because I’ve only known who he is for a few weeks, yet he has had such a profound impact on my life in such a short space of time.
I started watching Animaniacs during this lockdown, after seeing that meme about Yakko’s World going round counting all the confirmed cases. Since I’m basically a 25-year-old kid who adores cartoons, I’ve quickly fallen in love with it. It has made me laugh more times than I can count and there are jokes in there that I cannot BELIEVE got past the censors. I love all of the characters, and Yakko’s my favourite so far.
Anyway. I’m one of those people who likes to know more about the voices behind characters, and wants to smack ANYONE who thinks that “voice acting is not real acting!!1″ in the face, so I quickly found out about Rob and Jess Harnell and followed them on Twitter (Tress MacNeille has Twitter too but she hasn’t used it for ten years). And that’s where I found out about the former’s autobiography.
It was on sale on Amazon, and since people have said how uplifting and inspirational it is, which I DEFINITELY need right now? I bought it. It is one hell of a journey, and is fascinating for anybody interested in voice acting. In this, he talks about everything, from his love of entertaining others when he was young, to joining a rock band, initially wanting to be a screen actor but finding his true calling as a voice actor, winning an Emmy – then it covers a slump in his career and mental health, his comeback, and then his truly harrowing battle with throat cancer just four years ago. Last week I read chapters 9, which starts after his diagnosis, to the very end in one sitting. And then I sat in bed, at 1 o’clock in the morning, and I sobbed.
I’d like to warn you: he does not hold anything back when talking about his treatment and subsequent recovery. It was quite difficult for me to read at times. But he talks about his life in a frank yet humourous way - I laughed out loud at several points. I even ended up giggling through my tears, such as when he talked about getting medical cannabis for the chemo side effects.
I closed that book with a lot to think about.
When I first started reading it, I saw via Mr Paulsen’s social media that he’s on Cameo, a video app that allows you to pay celebrities to give either you or a friend a shout-out, advice, etc. He was doing this for charity for $65 (which is around £54 in my money), and since I’m working from home and getting paid a decent wage weekly (at the time anyway - I’ve since found out that my job ends next week), and this was for a charity benefiting Covid-19 relief, I decided to ask for advice in a private video request.
Since honestly, things have been kind of crappy recently. Not just because of this virus, either. Things were bad for me BEFORE shit hit the fan with the pandemic. I’ve generally been in a dark place. So if he has remained so positive after all the shit he’s been through, how can I do the same?
There were some details in my question that were abbreviated by the 250 character limit. But the main point was: “How can I be positive when it feels impossible?”
Time passed, and I was convinced that he wasn’t going to answer, since it was kind of a heavy question, and celebrities have the option to not follow through with a request. I would have understood.
24 hours after I finished his book, he responded.
Usually Cameos last about 30 to 60 seconds at the most. This is what I expected, IF I got a response.
The video he sent me is SIX MINUTES long.
Not only did he speak to me, in-character, as Yakko at the beginning (WHEN I SAY I LOST MY MIND), but Mr Paulsen went on to give me such genuine, heartfelt, invaluable advice.
Not ONCE did he talk down to me or dismiss any of my feelings, even though I DID say that my problems are minor in comparison to what he went through. He didn’t sugarcoat anything, but at the same time he spoke to me with such sincere gentleness and understanding; he even thanked me for reaching out. He seemed to genuinely care.
“I have no doubt that you’ll leave a lovely mark on everyone you meet, because you were kind enough to ask”, he told me at the end.
I was not expecting not only for the video to be SIX MINUTES LONG, but the absolute sincerity of his response that moved me to tears. I’ve watched this video whenever I’ve been particularly sad and taken his advice on board. His words have genuinely helped me.
So, yeah. I’ve only known who Rob Paulsen is for a short time, but he truly is one of the good guys. I wish him all the best. We need more Rob Paulsens in the world.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Messy animatic. It just had to be done.
Audio is from Deadpool (2016). Originally, this was going to be Dot. But for some reason I thought it would be funnier with Yakko. Even though he has BARELY interacted with Cora, but ah well.
Yep. This happened. (Continued from this!)
Here’s the thing: again, Maurice LaMarche is someone I’d also befriended online previously. I haven’t had the chance to talk with him as much as with Rob, but he has also been so supportive of my art and animation. To my complete shock, he recognised me as I was leaving the autograph session with Rob. I kid you not, he approached ME asked if I was "the lovely and talented Jenny", and told me what a pleasure it was to meet me??
When I got to the desk to pay, he noticed me before the person in front and insisted that I didn't pay for my autograph/selfie - "her money is no good here", he said, and told them to give back my 50 Euros. (Apparently my face went as red as my hair) He hugged me, signed my autograph in Brain's voice, and took my hand in both of his, telling me that he has total faith that I can make it as an animator. He said: “It’s like a ship heading to shore. If you know where you’re going, you’ll get there.” He told me how much he loves my gift to him, as well! He apparently wants to hang it in his office.
Autograph reads: "Jenny, when I take over the world, you shall do ALL animation, everywhere! YESS!! 'The Brain', Maurice LaMarche." Again, I was almost moved to tears.
I’m just in complete shock. This is truly an experience I’ll never forget. Thank you, Maurice. 💗
So THIS is what I got up to this weekend.
Making two seperate posts for Rob and Maurice since there is A LOT to unpack.
I actually booked tickets for this back in June. Flew to Dublin, tried Guinness at the Guinness Storehouse and hated it, had a great time.
The truth is, Rob Paulsen is someone who I’d kind of befriended online over the past two years. How? No idea. I’ve actually met him virtually a few times and spoken to him via DMs, but never in person.
Anyway, he actually recognised me as soon as he saw me. He jokingly said something along the lines of: "Oh no, this one is a total stalker." But then he raised his arms, said: "HI, JENNY!" and gave me the biggest hug (out of several!), and told me I looked beautiful while cupping my face - I think I'm pretty average, by the way, but I digress. In return, I gave him his present, which he actually showed to Maurice at the next table!
He signed my copy of his book: "For my dear Jenny, the best friend a Toon ever had... with love and admiration, Rob Paulsen". He even made a point of reading this out to me after he wrote it.
I'll confess: I cried, even though I tried not to. This isn’t to do with his voice roles, as cool as that is (this is YAKKO WARNER, FFS). This wasn’t about me being starstruck, rather the fact that this man has honestly helped me through so much, both with his book and the times we have spoken online. He's not only been very supportive of my artwork and animation, but he has been there for me when he DIDN'T have to be - even after my friend passed away. I thought that my gift was the LEAST I could do after everything he has done for me.
Also he gives AMAZING hugs.
An EARLY birthday present for Maurice LaMarche. Again, I gave this to him in person on Saturday and I’m trying to collect my thoughts.
Done with Castle Art coloured pencils, charcoal and fineliners.

Belated birthday present for Rob Paulsen. Belated because on Saturday - the day after his birthday - I gave this to him in person. Still gathering my thoughts in a post about this.

So it doesn’t bother you he openly supports autism speaks? And outright dismisses anyone who tries to warn him about it?
You know what? I was going to ignore this, but I can’t not say anything.
I privately messaged Rob to ask about this in December 2020, because I myself was worried. And no, he didn’t “outright dismiss” me.
He told me that he is well aware of Autism Speaks’s controversies; the implication was that his sister, whose son is autistic, supports the organisation as it stands today. Late 2020, he did an interview with an autistic artist he befriended & the invite happened to be via AS, a main reason he did this being because they have 2 million followers on Facebook & he wanted these followers to see the video. The conversation we had made it absolutely clear that he supports the autistic community. He ended up being one of the first outside my family to know about my diagnosis, and his kindness and support gave me the courage to start telling people about this last year.
He’s done the same for other organisations too – before that, he shared Exceptional Minds, a college scholarship for autistic animators. As an autistic animator-in-training, this means a LOT to me. Here’s what Ashley Wool, an autistic actress who is a particularly outspoken critic of both Sia’s ableist vanity project Music AND AS, said about him in a thread of people she believes are successfully being allies to the autistic community:
And I’m sorry, but what the hell does your comment have to do with my original post? Why are you taking my story of how much he’s helped me, which is from 21 months ago, and trying to twist it into something negative? Is that really necessary? Look, I detest “stan” culture and the thought of putting anyone on a pedestal. Rob Paulsen isn’t perfect. Nobody is. But he is a good man whose heart is in the right place – who has been there for me when he DID NOT have to be during those 21 months.
