The best thing you can do as an artist is to make things that no one else can make.

Animating backgrounds in perspective like this is always such a flex.

Yeeeeeeeeup, 3 times! The "select by color" tool, the stencil brush, and the cutter tool.

Good suggestion! I think I’ll need a nap in-between though!

I'm watching Gone with the Wind (in 20 minute chunks, because, c'mon) and, well, this movie RULES.

I’d love to see the budget on the Hades 2 release trailer. If it’s in the realm of what I’m thinking ($200k), seems WILD to spend that much money. But it’s a crazily anticipated game so I guess maybe it’s not thy crazy!

The Elden Ring movie better be about Igon’s quest for vengeance against Bayle.

The eye exam is the perfect game design. That big E is a great tutorial that teaches you the basic mechanic. But it doesn't baby you and quickly gets hard as they introduce the small and blurry enemies.

God yes. I keep getting snail mail from Disney Benefits saying "Do you want to sign up for extra life insurance?" and every day I have to cross that intersection, I think about increasing coverage...

I had a dream that I walked my dog.

Then my alarm went off and I woke up and walked my dog.

See kids? Dreams can come true.

It's pretty funny that most AI Filmmaking Evangelists/Experts on LinkedIn also have "Open to Work" banners on their profiles.

I have no opinion on whether this is good or bad, only an observation that this is how it is these days.

This is the way shows end these days. There is rarely a moment where a studio says "we're not making any more", there is only a protracted "decision-making period" that never comes to a decision.

‘StuGo’ creator Ryan Gillis says the show is not cancelled:

“Not cancelled yet! Not in production either! Just waiting for the numbers then a decision.”
