Tom DesLongchamp

I made art instead. See you in November Seattle. @cartoonMessLive

@EpicArtFail the incoherent opportunism here is staggering

Talk about not being able to read the room. You are quite literaly part of the problem here.

This is very very bad news for us at @cartoonMessLive. We are happy to pay for software that we rely on. It would be great if there was some way we could still OWN it! Ending support is fine, but let us install Animate in the future please @Adobe

@Adobe I've been creating with Flash/Animate for 26 years. I use this software NOW. Ending support? Fine. But I need to be able to install it in future, and I'm willing to pay for it, but with CC, I assume installers won't be available in the future???? Will they?

my will to participate in the online world continues to dwindle, but trying to remember that you real people are out there still. maybe!

Much love for this (♡˙︶˙♡) @tomthinks is so generous with his creative process and his live shows are a complete delight. Duck is a fav. + How he makes his art: youtu.be/0TJs97ifiMI?si…

@NeilHoyt I haven't made it publicly available, no, but it's not actually easy to use.. it takes some learning.. because all of the mouth sync is done manually through button presses. In other words, talking into the mic triggers nothing--it's all in the fingers, so takes muscle memory!

@tomthinks Can it be replicated? i don't even need to do the animation in real time, i just want a simple system where i can draw 2D cheesy characters & be able to talk unto a mic and make the mouths move. That's be so cool vs frame by frame & synching audio up.

fyi youtube.com/watch?v=169SbD…

@NeilHoyt Yeah! all in real-time. It's my own custom system that I built with Flash Actionscript, so it's hella old tech, but it works so damn good.

@tomthinks That is so wild. You are able to draw a quick simple 2D photo & make the mouth move by talking into some software & a mic, all in real time? Damn, i wanna make simple rudimentary 2D & be able to add audio w/ mouth(facial) movements. That's so cool.

wow, no more youtube previews.

it happened again youtube.com/watch?v=9IOQJO…

as i continue to back away from how intertwined i am with online worlds--twitter continues to be a place where I can feel most tangibly that tech is growing like ivy in some spaces. It's not always wrong, it's not always bad, but it is aggressive and chaotic.

@cartoonMessLive @tomthinks ✌🏻❤️

@HaydenFHaskins was it this one? "Noises From Afar" tomthinks.com/noises.html

@tomthinks I have a vague memory of a flash cartoon that started like “hi, my name is Harold, and I really like potatoes” Is that one gone forever? Or maybe it was made by someone else.

That moment when Tom has had enough of Duck's $#!+ and walks off. Instant classic from @tomthinks! youtu.be/139JQYzOFKU?fe…

my artbook collection is growingggggg only 500 to go haha 💀
