Please oh please let there be an art book for #ControlResonant ! The one for the first CONTROL game is excellent ( see images below ) and it would be a shame not to showcase the stellar art & design that made Resonant such a winner.

this featurette about the making of the dinosaurs of "The End of Oak Street" (2026) is really good,—surprisingly good for a studio-created video, and features my old friend VFX supervisor Jay Cooper and VFX by ILM but PLEASE watch the movie first before watching this video youtu.be/0LpMllnZxBc

'Roofs, High Holborn.' (1937) Lily Joseph's view was painted from her studio in Bedford Row looking towards the Old Bailey. Her palette was almost exclusively of white, cobalt, rose madder and the rare orange madder. In her day, Lily was a noted Suffragette.

Now writing the book review for 'The Art Of Renato Fratini' from the Kickstarter program I funded earlier this year. What an astonishing body of work, absolute bangers. It wasn't cheap but really good value for the amount of art work showcased.

Did you work on Noiseman as well ? I had the good fortune of working with a few of the artists on the film like Yamaura Akiyo when I was at Sunrise. Noiseman and Glay’s Survival were such big inspirations for me as a young animation student.

Because sometimes you just have to make a self-indulgent painting of your characters #kidlitart #watercolor #gouache

watercolor, gouache and colored pencil painting of five kids of posing together on a grassy knoll in front of a gray sky, distant mountains and a waterway. They look confident and determined and ready to take on the world, and one girl is holding an oak branch and a basket of yarn
