Mattel teaming with openAI after huge layoffs in the industry is NOT a great sign.
Kids need less screens, corporations need more accountability. A suss company operates carte blanche, illegally scraping tons of IP for its learning models and you want it to teach my kid?
Nah… I’ll stick with legos

I remember renting Vampire Hunter D… I was probably 11-12 years old.
I was amazed and inspired by the movement, color and story.
Very nostalgic
I love it

Started looking at my 24’ taxes.
Every year, for a week at least I’m spun for a loop. Until I set down and dig through it for a couple days.
All I can say I the art market is definitely down from last year… and last year was down from the year before.

Been working on new art stuff a little bit.
It’s far too cold to paint toys so, Numerous sculpts for toys and a new comic being shopped to publishers. I’m stuck doing indoors stuff for now.
I don’t think my wife and little girl mind all that much.
