EIRU was such a great short! I would love to sit with a series like this.

Cartoon Saloon is one of the only few animation studios that completely gets that vibe that Studio Ghibli is known for and just runs with it. I rrally hope EIRU gets the love it deserves ❤️🔥
Cartoon Saloon wants their Eiru short to be nominated for an Oscar, so it's been made free to watch for a couple days.

Now's your chance to be exposed to animated kino if you haven't already.

I’m starting to feel better & I’m dying to actually make stuff again, so I’m going to try my best to make tons of stuff for 2026. (2/2)

Sorry for not making anything for New Years. I’ve been getting over two colds in a row but I wanted to say thanks to everyone who’s supported me this year.

2025’s had some personal highs and lows, but I’ve made some real big milestones this year & finally feel like a pro artist (1/2)

Yeah, I was a little surprised at how massive it looks. Hopefully your table isn't next to the loading doors like mine is 🥶

At least Paramount or someone worse didn’t buy WB, but this still completely sucks either way
Netflix to Buy Warner Bros. Discovery in Major Streaming Deal
Netflix to Buy Warner Bros. Discovery in Major Streaming Deal
Netflix today announced that it will acquire Warner Bros. Discovery's vast studios and streaming operations for $82.7 billion. The transaction will see Netflix acquire Warner Bros., HBO, and HBO Max in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $72 billion in equity and $82.7 billion, including debt (via Reuters). The acquisition gives it control of major franchises, including DC, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, Looney Tunes, and the Warner Bros. film library, dramatically expanding the volume and diversity of content available under one streaming umbrella. The acquisition also gives Netflix the established HBO brand and its library of prestige television series such as The Sopranos, Succession, and The Wire. Netflix said that it intends to maintain Warner Bros.' theatrical distribution, preserve HBO Max as a discrete service in the near term, and integrate HBO and Warner Bros. content into its own catalog. Today, Netflix announced our acquisition of Warner Bros. Together, we’ll define the next century of storytelling, creating an extraordinary entertainment offering for audiences everywhere. https://t.co/rXPFMNIs1A pic.twitter.com/0pdsMUEob8— Netflix (@netflix) December 5, 2025 Netflix confirmed that each Warner Bros. Discovery shareholder will receive $23.25 in cash and $4.50 in Netflix stock per share. The deal is contingent on Warner Bros. Discovery completing the previously announced separation of Discovery Global into a standalone company in the third quarter of 2026, as well as regulatory approval. The transaction is expected to take 12 to 18 months to complete. Reports in October claimed that Apple was interested in acquiring Warner Bros. Discovery's extensive back catalog of content for Apple TV. With that prospect now firmly ruled out, ‌Apple TV‌ is highly likely to face heightened competition from Netflix in the years to come.

Well said, Andrew. Well said.
Over the last month, I've been working on this essay about the use of AI art in board games, "Is This Really What We Want?" Though it is contextually specific, it is also a reflection of my wider thoughts on the use of AI art and writing in creative contexts.

AI generated imagery and text are a threat to what makes board games worthwhile. In this piece, Andrew explains Meeple Mountain’s policy.

Just a quick heads up that I’m alive, but I’ve been busy for the last few days between commissions, family stuff, & recovering from throwing out my back this week. 🤕
