I'm SO EXCITED to see that fantastically talented artists @bettyjiang.bsky.social and @arthurgain.bsky.social were commissioned to make paintings for this movie! I wonder who else did work for GdT's Frankenstein?!

To see a painting I’ve made in a movie is an extraordinary feeling, but to see it in such film as 'Frankenstein' - that’s something truly transformative. Huge thanks to Guillermo del Toro, Tamara Deverell, and Kate Hawley for the opportunity and the unforgettable experience.

Over the years I moved away from pen & paper animation, as many clients would opt for cheaper digital processes. But seeing how industry is conspiring to make creatives' labour & IP completely valueless, it's a great time to dust off my lightbox, so at least I own something physical from my work.

Watched Sinners in the cinema yesterday - was blown away. For me, it's one of the best vampire movies in recent years.

Reminds me of this eternal Ted Chiang banger-

Highlighted text form THE NEW YORKER

The task that generative A.I. has been most successful at is lowering our expectations, both of the things we read and of ourselves when we write
anything for others to read. It is a fundamentally dehumanizing technology because it treats us as less than what we are: creators and apprehenders of meaning. It reduces the amount of intention in the world.

I don't 'refuse to use' AI, I just don't use AI; in the same way that I don't shoplift, or plagiarise other people's books - it requires no effort of will, it's just not something I would think of doing
