@lightboxexpo.com was huge, packed full of enthusiastic artists, and exciting as always. @bobbychiu.bsky.social has created something special to look forward to every year. Here’s our panel on Friday, you can’t see the screaming, cheering audience, but they were there, trust me.

I’ll be at Lighbox Expo this Friday, speaking on a panel at 3:30 - Adapting Games into Animated Series and Films - with my Angry Birds directing partner Fergal Reilly @f3rgal.bsky.social. Hope to see some familiar and new faces there!

What a deal! Can’t believe no one’s taken it. 🤮

If you fall off your roof with no shoes on and your wife doesn’t see or hear you, does it count?

I made this video last year, just over a week after my dad passed, where I talked about how it all helped me to re-prioritize my life. At the time I had posted it on IG, but I dumped Meta a while ago.

My dad passed away one year ago on June, 19. A year goes so fast. I miss him and still think about calling him all the time to tell him about what happened during my day.

There’s this stone in my bathroom floor, right in front of the toilet and I can’t help but see a face every time I take a sit (ahem). I’m getting Johnny from Karate Kid on Halloween vibes. Or maybe the Misfits? Who does this look like to you?

I watch tons of different stuff but I love how when I fall asleep watching YouTube on tv, it knows to start playing seven episodes of Norm Abram’s New Yankee Workshop back to back. Peak algorithm. #chefskiss

I spent almost three weeks and $1500 in new tools and raw walnut lumber to make my equivalent of an Ikea desktop 😂
BUT IT’S THE FIRST THING I’VE EVER MADE AND IM SO FUCKING STOKED!!!! She’s beautiful.

It brings me continual joy that Zelenskyy voiced Red in the Ukrainian version of The Angry Birds Movie. Feels appropriate

If you’re in L.A., I definitely recommend you give the @skirball.bsky.social a visit for the Jack Kirby exhibition (free on Thursdays!). If you’re not totally versed in Kirby (like me) it’s the perfect-sized show to get your feet wet, and get inspired.

I baked my first cake all from scratch and I’m sorry to say, it wasn’t very good. I’m sensing a pattern: my first try at baking most things is pretty miserable. You win some, you lose some. In case you’re wondering, not much flavor, dry and dense, and the buttercream frosting tasted generic

Actually, he’s 100% correct about one thing 👇
