Pixar animator Austin Madison penned a wonderful handwritten open letter to aspiring artists and creative professionals everywhere as part of an Animators Letters Project back in May this year.
Madison advises budding and experienced animators alike to work through the times when they are feeling uninspired and down in the dumps—because it happens with everyone, including the best people at Pixar—and work through them. As he so eloquently puts it, “the art will be well worth the work”.

Coming into the office at 6:30am on a Saturday…sounds like my life back in San Diego. Getting ready to do an interview with Bishop Mark Baker Ochola, Acholi Religious Leaders Peace Initiative.
Too good and too true. We spotted this little guy on our walk today.

I met some friends at the church across the street from our home today, they showed me how to play netball… such a fun evening.

My hometown.. getting shit done. I’m proud.
OHHH my gosh… A whole city responds to an article stating that it was one of the highest “America’s Dying Cities”
Lip Dub of the Day: Newsweek published an article a while back which stated that Grand Rapids, Michigan, is high up on the list of America’s “Dying Cities.”
So Grand Rapids responded by getting 5,000 residents together to perform an elaborate lip dub of Don McLean’s “American Pie.” Obviously.
Newsweek subsequently offered Grand Rapids a contrite rejoinder, saying the article was picked up as part of a content sharing deal with mainstreet.com and was not penned by Newsweek. “it uses a methodology that our current editorial team doesn’t endorse and wouldn’t have employed,” Newsweek goes on to say. “It certainly doesn’t reflect our view of Grand Rapids.”
Oh, get a room.
