Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Head for Volcano Island.
I am enjoying this more angular style of vector art a lot! :D
I will try to keep WBA varied as I actually want to experiment and improve with all kinds of styles and ideas, but so far vector style stays on top! :>

Cross the Bridge.
This one is... interesting. I am not very happy with the colors and the emptiness of the scene, but that's a good thing because now I know what I'll need to focus on next time!
I'm happy with the scene concept tho! :v

I finally watched 'Godzilla Minus Zero' today & it was incredible. It may be my favourite Godzilla film & among my favourite films in general. I hope if a sequel is made that it keeps to the more serious tone & doesn't devolve into absurdity like the older ones.

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.”
This was probably my most viral tweet. I've seen it pop up in a lot of quote aggregators, sometimes attributed to a wonderful but definitely not-me filmmaker.

Please don't call what RFK Jr. and Jay Bhattacharya are going to do medieval. It's not medieval. It's nothing like the Middle Ages. People in the Middle Ages were happy to try all kinds of things to not die of the plague and if you'd given them antibiotics and vaccines they would have loved it.

I've probably read this poem 100 times, but when the world seems particularly gone to hell, it still brings me to tears.
