I might go back to the gallery tomorrow to see if I can pick up the Iam8bit Genesis cartridges and really soak in some of the concept art. It was really beautiful to see!

It was crazy watching Andrew Han just pour through the whole series making call outs for what BGs he thought he could use. Herculean effort!

I don't think there was a solid reason for why I was the only one allowed to do Disenchantment stuff, but it was kind of an honor to dive back into this world and style for a little farewell. Plus, I got to draw King Elfo's sword and a very, very tiny window to toss Luci out of.

New Futurama x Disenchantment!!! A New New York Yankee in King Elfo's Court!!! This was such a strange episode. We couldn't design new Disenchantment BGs, so everything was pulled from older episodes. Any new asset was designed by me, exclusively as an overlay or as a new prop.

Did you know Disenchantment crossed over with Futurama this week? Because it sure did!!
Black and white comic
Panel 1:
Bart Simpson is talking to Philip. J. Fry while holding his skateboard.

Bart: Hey man, I'm Bart Simpson, who the hell are you?
Fry: Oh, I'm Fry. I'm from another Matt Groening project, but we've been cancelled a few times.

Panel 2:
Both look off to the left as they hear someone call from off-panel.

Off screen: Ooooh Look at me!

Panel 3:
Fry and Bart are looking far into the distance at Luci from Disenchantment, who is slapping his bum mockingly.

Luci: I'm a cancelled Matt Groening project!

Panel 4:
Elfo interrupts Luci, who now looks disgruntled. Fry and Bart wince at each other.

Elfo: I'm Elfo!

I love designing things in 2 steps: a before and after kind of thing. Getting to draw things going wrong is just a fun time.Screenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three"

The Mini-Nimbus makes a water landing and deploys it's parachutes a bit too late.Screenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three"

The Mini-Nimbus' parachutes have flopped downwards, catching no wind, as it was already in the water. That was the joke.

New Futurama Episode "Ocean's Three"!!! Of all the water themed things in the episode, the only one I'm really familiar with is Gilligan's Island. Still, for an anthology, I had a lot of fun with this one!
Screenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three"

A reference to the opening of Love Boat with lush greenery and a palm tree in the foreground. Across the water is the Planet Empress docked by a hilly islandScreenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three"

Captain Leela spins the captain's wheel onboard the Planet Empress. She's vignetted by a port window, referencing the Love Boat opening.Screenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three"

Captain Leela comes down the Planet Express boat kitchen stairs where Hermes is working the stove. The kitchen is wrecked and disgusting. It's a reference to WaterworldScreenshot from the Futurama episode "Ocean's Three"

The Planet Empress crashes into an iceberg and it all bursts into frame. This is a reference to crashing into an iceberg and raising global temperatures melting our icecaps.

Wolverine should be a short, hairy, little creature and ever since Hugh Jackman took on the role he's been a vaguely gruff, well kept, attractive man and it's upset me greatly for years.

It sucks, a lot of these projects would be really cool on VHS on an original CRT, but these formats are specialized now and need extra attention to detail that they just aren't being given. It's aint all about packaging and pack in commercials, guys cmon!

Joe McGhost @joemcgro.com · 16/09/2026
Ok, lesson learned: I wont be buying any more custom VHS tapes. Most people making them either compress the audio down to a garbled mess or they don't understand that putting a 4x3 image into a 16x9 project and exporting a 4x3 video will result in a pillarboxed image.

Joe McGhost @joemcgro.com · 15/09/2026
Why can't preorders just be open? If you have them open, scalpers will realize they can't make money because everyone who wants them can get them. Then you just sell as many as people are going to buy. Is it really that hard? I don't understand.

And don't let that bastard Mario tell you his birthday was Mar. 10. Super Mario Bros. debuted on September 13th 1985 on the Nintendo Entertainment System in Japan. This was the game that established Mario's trademark gameplay style away from the original arcade. He's a liar trying to be cute.

I don't even have much to say here. I'm too busy thinking about what order Bender put up posters in. Seriously, how was the last one 6 rows up and 2 rows in? Make it make sense.

#Futurama episode "Lord Nibbler into the Nothingverse"!!! I got to do a lot of classic Futurama locations on this one, but designing a pixelated Nibbler was pretty fun. Though I have absolutely no idea why the last poster Bender put up was 6 rows in and 2 rows up. Bender. How? Why?
Screenshot from Futurama episode "Lord Nibbler into the Nothingverse"

Fry and Leela are in the foreground looking across the street at a tall building Bender has plastered missing posters on from top to bottom. Each poster is a single color, so when viewed from far away the posters make a pixelated Nibbler!Screenshot from Futurama episode "Lord Nibbler into the Nothingverse"

Close up of Bender standing in front of the poster wall. The last poster he applied was 6 rows in and 2 rows up. How does that make any sense? What order did he glue these in?Screenshot from Futurama episode "Lord Nibbler into the Nothingverse"
