This type of lighting needs to come back badly. It’s almost insane how much it helped set the mood for things like Batman TAS, Akira, NGE, Japans Cyberpunk Anime scene in the 80s/90s, Heavy Metal.

The list is impossible to finish.
This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous.

Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

We’ve been freaking out about this over here. Not least because HOW they figured it out is so cool.
Humans mastered the art of creating fire 400,000 years ago, almost 350,000 years earlier than previously known, according to a groundbreaking discovery in a field in Suffolk in the UK. buff.ly/1miYEUJ

This isn't mine, and I can't definitively find the original source. But I love this little bit of wisdom:

"If you're a fifteen-minute walk from a coffee shop, but the server there has to drive an hour to get to work, you don't live in a walkable city. You live in a theme park."
For all the fearmongering about capital flight from New York City, there’s an exodus few want to talk about: working people.

Sky-high rents and outrageous child care costs are already pushing families out of the city they keep running.
 
That’s what we have to change.
