Fuck that, don't let the Suica penguin die.
The Suica penguin has been the face of JR East's popular IC transit card since its inception in 2001. Now, the company says it will replace the iconic character with an as-yet-unannounced mascot. That's left fans both perplexed and irate.

I think it's really interesting how the visual language of video is changing over time. it's a very specific choice to have this shot handheld in a hallway while walking

Just published a new post on what I've been up to professionally for the past five months: maxdeviant.com/posts/2025/h...
