Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

I still find it very amusing that the Mandalorian, a warrior who never takes off his helmet in the presence of another living soul, has a mustache. It’s just his little secret!

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

Concept sketches and some other pics for Ep9 - EfremLX, a First Order military protocol droid. Don't think you ever saw it in the movie but he did get a Topps card. #starwars #conceptdesign #droid

A humanoid robot holding a gun. Mainly black with a red face, it has a boxy structure with exposed joints and midriff. The red face is divided into three panels with one single blue glowing eye on the right hand side.

VLT image of Arp 289, also known as NGC 3981. This image was captured as part of the ESO Cosmic Gems Program, which uses the Very Large Telescope to photograph beautiful objects in the southern skies when conditions don’t allow scientific observations to be made. Credit: ESO Source

The yellow core of a disrupted spiral galaxy is surrounded by irregular, translucent spiral arms. The inner part of the galaxy is seen at an angle, so that it appears oval-shaped rather than circular. Dark brown dust lanes and pink star forming regions cross a yellow haze of older stars. The faint blue arms unfurl from the center, like paint flung out of a spinning canvas. They are dotted with blue star clusters. The arms stretch out to the right of the frame. The black background of space is filled with foreground stars and tiny background galaxies.
