Adulting is officially live on Kickstarter! 🥂🎉 Two codependent millennial sisters try to 'adult' in a world where it feels like every other person over 30 has their shit together. You can watch the full animatic for free on our Kickstarter page, linked in bio! 🎈

THIS. With the rise of AI on generalist social media platforms, finding real art has been harder and harder. Cara's finally given us the home for artists we've been looking for forever. As a studio, we'll definitely be recruiting from here in the future.

Oh okay I get it now, Cara is actually the art platform I've been wanting for years. You can treat it like here but it also has a portfolio component(which you can reorder whenever!) This feels kinda huge for our fractured community of artists.

What do you look for in portfolios? "We look for a strong sense of the craft, and an understanding of how the role fits into the larger production pipeline. We don't need a candidate to be a 8/10 or hire to be seriously considered, but we do look for passion for the craft."

How can older people break into the industry? "Age doesn't define someone's skill set, rather can provide motivation, clarity, and experience that can bolster a person's efforts. Lean into those positives for more effective disposition about breaking into the industry!"
