Of the upcoming Warner Bros. acquisition, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos insists: "This deal is pro-consumer, pro-innovation, pro-worker, [and] pro-creator." What's not to love?

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.
His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.
A massive loss 💔

Even though the iPad is a superb tool, I still find ideas run more freely on paper and pencil.. there’s a tactile, ethereal quality to the way it feels that just isn’t replicated by technology.. sometimes it’s easy to forget this! #sketching #sketchbook #drawing #doodles
