I wonder if The Macy’s Parade will ever bring the Angry Birds Red balloon out of retirement. The photo on the left was the last time I saw him in 2018, when we were designing the balloons for The Christmas Chronicles. @f3rgal.bsky.social

What a nice reminder. Thanks @david-william4.bsky.social! & here I was going through the day with zero awareness that today’s the anniversary of A Christmas Story Christmas! To commemorate, here’s a photo from right before filming the first shot and another of the last shot before we wrapped.

@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.

By chance, I was in a store and met a Disney exec, so I took the opportunity to ask them why doesn’t Hollywood want to make movies anymore? Their answer cracked my brain a little, but I am not so perplexed anymore. Hope this helps you too…🧵 /1

“7 little hand-drawn animated shots - how hard can it be?”
This is the first - and maybe the last - time I do cleanup, color, and tones (shadows) on my own animation. I’m really enjoying it, but it’s taking FOREVER! Doesn’t help to have three characters, either. (It’s for an upcoming YouTube video.)
