I wonder why “If you do drugs, you go to hell before you die” didn’t stick as Super Mario’s catch phrase.

I’m not much of a toy collector, but this figure was too good to pass up. Super Grover and I go way back.

Somehow an interesting filmmaker got something genuinely original out of Hollywood and into THEATERS. Sinners is worth the ticket.

Been working on custom animations, sound fx, and music to create motion game boards that combine digital environments with physical game pieces and terrain. The effect makes for kinetic and memorable game moments where players feel they are in control of a thrilling movie scene.

Still have my original journals from ‘96 and ‘97. Those CD-ROMs were foundational experiences.

“Take these seeds and put them in your pockets, so at least sunflowers will grow when you die.”

This illustration originally came to mind at the start of the invasion of Ukraine, but the blustering of fools in the Oval Office prompted me to finally draw it. May the days of wicked men be few.

A feature film with zero dialogue just won an Oscar. Loved this movie.

Every time they show Spielberg in the audience of #SNL50, I cheer like my daughters seeing Taylor Swift at a Chiefs game.

Kristen Wiig as the green M&M singing “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Mis was one of those I-have-to-get-up-and-walk-around-the-room kind of laughs.
