I saw someone call Ai a Thneed and I can't stop thinking about it. It's a PERFECT analogy. The Thneed was an all-purpose tool that didn't do anything really useful. It was a fad that did major damage to the environment to make the Onceler a billionare. It left no real lasting impact, only damage.

I'm now currently in the process of writing my second book! This will be more of an all-ages novel than a picture book. Can't say much except, similar to my first book, it's about a beast with a dream. Wish me luck.

Feeling experimental and inspired by classic cel animation, I recently took line art from my book and printed it on transparency film to paint my own cel! As a first attempt, I admit it's messy. But it still felt cool making something like this.

Had a great vacation at Universal Orlando (including Epic Universe) with my buddy @smhardinart.bsky.social! We even got to top off the trip seeing Jaws 50th anniversary there! 🦈
After going through a rough time recently, I really needed this kind of escape.

Not gonna be super active for a bit. It’s nice to take breaks from the internet. I’m spending the week reuniting with one of my closest friends in the whole world @amhaas.bsky.social in Orlando. We’ve been through a lot the last few months and we both needed this. We are both having a blast here.

re: generative AI
I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used.
And now, you can use it, too.

I was recently commissioned to build a Toto puppet for a kids production of Wizard of Oz. It was quite a challenge, but I think it came out nicely. The head control rod has a trigger for the mouth and the body rod handle has a pull string for the tail.

Been on a Jim Henson binge lately.
Who do you guys personally think is the most underrated Muppet or Henson-created character in general?

I greatly appreciate everyone who's ordered and enjoyed my book, A Dress For The Dancing Dragon so far! Keep spreading the word and tell your friends and family about it if you can.
It would be extremely helpful as I work on my next book. Stay tuned for news on that in the near future!

My physical media collection has officially reached 300 Blu-rays/DVDs, including individual releases and box sets! At this rate, I may have to get another shelf by the end of the year. XD

Finally saw Sinners in 70mm IMAX yesterday and yeah, it's as good as everyone says it is. Damn good!
Also the theater was giving away these cool souvenir film strips for the movie.

This is all fascinating. I had no idea Ryan Coogler negotiated a contract where he kept final cut, first-line profits, and the rights to SINNERS after 25 years. But the idea of studio execs FREAKING OUT about it ("What if EVERY in-demand creative wants rights over their own work?") is even better.
Hollywood Execs Fear Ryan Coogler’s Sinners Deal ‘Could End the Studio System’
Warner Bros.’ unusual agreement with the director has rival executives sweating, with some saying it sets a “dangerous” precedent.

It's been very lively down here in Indianapolis! This is what democracy looks like! Together, we can put an end to the reign of Trump, Musk, and all their cronies.

Like many creative people, I'm against generative AI. With its unfortunate rise, I decided to put a disclaimer in my book, A Dress For The Dancing Dragon, that none of that was used in the writing or illustrations. Support real artists and authors!
