Amen.

I’m 51 and gave spent 13 years off and on (mostly off, to be fair) playing with the idea of making a simple animated tribute to Star Wars, given how 4 year-old me was so transformed by seeing it in theaters when it first came out. It’s finally done and I’m excited to share it.

Every time I heat water for tea in the microwave instead of a kettle, I wonder if someone in England is suddenly overcome with an inexplicable sense that something is wrong with the universe.

I painted a little picture of one of my cats today. This is little BarnBarn. The name might sound stupid but the story of how it came to be is even stupider.

I sculpted and 3D printed Rocky, Winky and Cleolanta from the MST3K-riffed Rocky Jones, Space Ranger series.

I reimagined the opening scene of Hamlet as a Zoom meet. For some reason no one liked Francisco. youtu.be/fdsiuj8Kg14?...
