Animation Resources Discord

Animation Resources is hosting monthly Discord parties on its Discord server. Join us the last Saturday of every month to participate in discussions and network with fellow artists from all over the world. The party starts at 4:30 pm (PDT) and the program begins at 5:30 pm.

THIS MONTH’S PROGRAM

Coming Up With IDEAS

Our schedule of monthly programs under the banner Discord Discussions continues this Saturday February 27th!

Creativity is an elusive thing. Some people think it’s magic, that it just comes right out of thin air. But the truth is that it’s a creator’s brain making millions of decisions through the whole process. Join Animation Resources President Stephen Worth and Board Member Davey Jarrell this Saturday, February 27th on Discord as they break down the meaning of creativity and how to cultivate it. We will be looking at examples of art that utilize principals of creativity, including still a clip from the 1956 documentary we feature, “The Mystery of Picasso.” Doors open at 4:30 PST and the program starts at 5:30 PST.

MEMBERS: Print Out Your E-Books!

Printouts

You might not know this, but all of Animation Resources’s downloadable e-books are formatted to be printed out on a laser printer using double sided 8 1/2 x 11 three hole punch paper. The resolution is as high as with traditional printing, so using a color laser printer, your printout will look as good as a printed book. If you don’t have a laser printer, just take the PDF file down to your local instant print store on a thumb drive and they can print them for you.

Assistant Archivist, Nicholas John Pozega shares these photos of printouts he made of the Bateman book we shared with our members recently. He organizes his printouts in reference binders near his desk. Pretty neat, huh?!
