Artichoke comics..! More comics and art on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yonatan_tal/?hl=en

Pride month this year made we think a lot about how far we’ve come and how much more there is to be done. I got so much more to say, but I focused my thoughts to this: I can only imagine what I would have felt if one of the characters in my favorite animated show/movie was gay. I wonder if it would have made me feel like I wasn’t as weird, wasn’t as different. I wonder if it would have helped me to come out sooner, to be truly who I am in front of other people, to feel comfortable in my own skin. I know so many gay people working in animation. Board artists, character designers, art directors, recruiters, executives. Where are we on the animated screen? Why are we good as painters, designers, storytellers, dream makers, but when it comes to being represented in our own creations, that’s too much to ask for? I’ve heard someone makes an argument that because animation mostly targets kids, it’s inappropriate to talk about sexual orientation. Kids don’t understand that. Well, the thing is that this is not about sex, this is about love. And kids understand love very well. We need our content to show kids that a boy can love a boy and a girl can love a girl, and that’s perfectly normal. Our love is not less important or less valuable than any other love. Representation is crucial. Seeing yourself on the screen from a young age can change your life. In some cases, can save your life. It’s time to make a real difference. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏳️‍🌈✊🏳️‍🌈✊🏳️‍🌈 P.S NEW Art + comics on my IG! https://www.instagram.com/yonatan_tal/?hl=en

I’m just a little obsessed with Gaga’s latest look. The hair reminds me of my mom’s hair in the 90′s. 

We will never stop fighting for our right to live our lives in peace. We will keep holding hands. 

Very exciting things are in the making:) 

Theme: SIX.

I think that’s it as far as I remember hah 

I'm so excited to share the intro for the Character Animation Producers' Show! Apparently Walt Disney has been kept frozen for 50 years at the president's office, and this year we brought him back to life so he could see what CalArts has become. Thanks to all of the incredible people who worked on this! Full credit list on the Vimeo description. ❤

Recently, we've been spending most of the hours of the day together, and it seems like it's not going to change. We create, we do research, watch videos on Youtube.. I sometimes find myself just staring at you. You're bright, sharp and colorful. You're sensitive, pen pressure sensitive. We don't need Valentine's Day, tonight is just another great night in front of each other. Feeling closer than ever.
