We de-extincted dire wolves.
Be honest.

We created a dire wolf.

It's a genetically modified puppy dog.
Thank you.

I find Colossal's work really interesting. At the same time, I feel that their public outreach is led by PR stunts, which puts the accuracy of the science communication in the background, and that really bothers me.

Also, I've been really impressed by the level at which theatricality had an influence during the French Revolution (and Reign of Terror).

And I feel like there's a certain level at which the spectacle and reality TV are playing a role right now. Case in point: yesterday's performance.

It's shameful that the USA doesn't understanding how much it gets from having security deals, cultural impact, and diplomatic alliances. Never before have I seen so many of my friends here in Europe talking about boycotting USA products.

"America first" is quickly becoming "America alone".

I've seen a few posts about the sizes that work well for the new Instagram grid, and while I do think they are useful in their own right, I strongly urge you to make art in whatever format and size you want. Social media shouldn't dictate how you create.

Also, regarding the 'contact someone' part - is it time to make address books a thing again?

Uninstalled Instagram for the time being from my phone. The 'Ad break' functionality is realky grinding my gears (plus, you know, the whole Meta political pirouette doesn't make it feel nicer).

If I need to use it for work or to contact someone, web interface feels less intrusive.

My grandparents had all the episodes of Walking with Dinosaurs (dubbed in Bulgarian) recorded on a VHS tape for me, and I played that thing constantly on repeat as a kid whenever I visited them.

Needless to say – I'm so incredibly excited to see this new release!!

So glad for people to get to see some of the animals I've spent the past couple of years looking after! I had the wonderful opportunity to design the looks of many of the species, and have worked on each animal in detail across the VFX process.

Walking with Dinosaurs premieres later in 2025!

Three Albertosaurus, the central one heavily scarred, emerge from the forest.

I know this sentiment is well shared, but every once in a while I think about how beautifully powerful and inspiring these paintings are.

Illustration of a little girl wearing a bucket hat and a swimsuit looking at seashells on the sand

Nighttime illustration of a boy wearing green, blue, and white striped pyjamas sitting on a desk and holding the head of teddy bear who is sat next to him. There is a book about space on the desk next to them, as well as a toy rocket and a cup filled with pens, brushes, and pencils. They are sitting in front of a large window, through which we can see the night sky and the Ursa Major constellation.

Illustration of a boy and a girl drawing on a single piece of paper. The girl is using a pink crayon and there is a variety of pink and round-shaped ideas coming out of her head (lady, car, flowers, hearts etc.) while the boy is using a purple crayon and there's a plethora of sharp-edged purple ideas (robot, lightning bolts, wolf etc.) coming out of his head

An illustration of a little girl running covered in mud splatters, followed by six happy boarlets, who are also covered in mud. There are three adults, two of which are stepping back in an attempt not to get muddy and looking shocked, while the third is raising an eyebrow in disbelief

I've been looking at some old sketches in my messy sketchbooks. I realized I should share some that are not work-related if I can't share what I am working on right now.

Well..some random stuff for now!
