Oh, so that's why he decided to never utter a single word again. Understandable.

yup, it's a wacom bamboo fun, somehow still going strong after more than a decade.

I don't own one BUT
I can summon her through the dark rituals of digital illustration (happy birthday!)

I've heard some worrying things about the production (among them than the director is absolutely swamped with work that season) but we'll see I guess.
