Current WIP: I’m hoping to animate a bit of motion into the scene, and add some windmills. Everything takes longer with a baby around but I figured I’d post some proof of life

There were a lot of people who I mostly agreed with on politics who were like, “well at least he wants to get rid of red dye 5!” “C.D.C. would never allow vaccines to be cancelled” Wellp. Hope it was worth it.

I’m this way about the animation process lol. But I love it! But I hate slogging myself through the process sometimes 🫠

This was over 15 years ago btw. I’m haunted by this memory especially when I’m painting backgrounds 🫣
Laura Teh Sull (@laurathesull.bsky.social) reply parent
Everyone was looking at me when I looked up, a person who 100% hates being perceived. I felt soo awful, for multitudes of reasons. I said I was talking about something else because the situation felt unexplainable, and I’m sure it wasn’t convincing. Sorry dude. The demos WERE awesome.
Laura Teh Sull (@laurathesull.bsky.social) reply parent
so I was kind of hoping he wouldn’t do one this time. But he pulled out the old projector and I turned to my friend next to me (who knew my deal) and was like “oh noo!” As I put my head down- and was totally un aware of the volume of my voice. The class went dead silent. When I looked up
Laura Teh Sull (@laurathesull.bsky.social)
In college, one of my professors would do these awesome background design paint demos on the projector. However. One time I had pulled a stupid all-nighter trying to finish something, and I was just trying to make it through the day, and I was afraid if he turned the lights off I would fall asleep:

It was really scary there for a while, she was clearly in so much pain at one point, she was pacing and whining a couple nights. At another point her energy dropped and she was barely eating, I didn’t know what to do ☹️ I am so glad she’s finally on the mend, she’s only 8 and normally high energy

*very. We also have like 4 recorders up there because people who must hate us keep gifting them

lol this reminded me of a past cat, when she was a kitten I used to lift her butt up with her tail while she ate because she was so tiny and cute, and it became such a thing even as an adult she wouldn’t eat unless I lifted her butt up by her tail lmao, shed be purring & eating 🥹

Pretty sure my dog got a nasty bite from one at the beginning of the summer 😰 she had a bump, then a wound that kept getting deeper/worse, and got really infected 😩 our vet didn’t recognize it. We finally got her on the right meds and she’s improving after 2 months but yeah - uh watch out yall

I have a friend who’s been with her bf as long as I’ve been w my husband, 17 years, and I’ve known her since we were 12, shes never wanted marriage. So they are very happy. If it works for you that’s all that matters

Our 5 year old is brilliant at piano, but clearly struggles focusing to practice some days. So we weren’t really sure how it would go when we signed him up for a recital. My husband thought he might not be ready, but I had faith he would shine; and he did! Idk similar manifesting lol
Laura Teh Sull (@laurathesull.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh damn I haven’t watched that in a hot minute. When I was little my dad read us the book too. I don’t remember it being so fucked but it makes sense that it affected my psyche anyway 🫠

Yep he’s deep in creative play pretend now. But you know, every so often ask about dead relatives. “How old will I be when I die?” Stuff that gets real tricky to answer

I think this is also the only way I get anything done is I have no idea how hard it’ll actually be! I haven’t fully finished animating my own short film but I did write and storyboard all of it and make a pitch Bible. And animated about 30% so far!

Dude. I might be super oblivious but I literally didn’t even think about him being gay really the first time I watched. He is not stereotypically flamboyant at all, he could easily be read as like. Just British lol. Maybe ace?
