It was the last time i saw him before he moved back east and he looked so haggard. It’s a massive regret of mine that I didn’t say more then. Everyone could tell he was on a dangerous decline, I am so mad that his employers didn’t intervene while his health was so obviously in jeparody

Imo his stint in animation while moonlighting in comics is what ultimately ended up the catalyst. He was nearly single-handedly pulling that invader zim movie to completion. It breaks my heart and I think about him everytime I look at a violently tight contract now

Can’t believe it’s been three years already. I think about him all the time. Closest thing to a mentor a lot of us boom artists had

I’ve filled out so many applications and I’ve not gotten past the auto filter a single time. Three years and not one call-back. It makes me feel crazy cause I was regularly employeed for almost a decade. It’s like the well just dried up. Employment dust bowl ass economy

Everyone I know is either deeply out of work or bracing for layoffs. Lots of us went and got “””real””” jobs and they’re just as precarious as the careers we left. It just so unsustainable idk how anyone is supposed to live like this. I feel for you and the many folks who were forced out of state 🫂

The Layton series was literally perfect??? The animation and hand-drawn sprites were the main charm points!! I’m so disappointed in level 5

I despise AI and refuse to engage with it personally or professionally, but I find it of note that big companies with full-on AI divisions are at the same time refusing its contractors to utilise those same tools… almost as if they actually really do recognise AI is poisonous to their product.

Rian Sygh @riansygh.bsky.social · 09/08/2026
Interesting thing I’ve noticed from the last few months is that my gig contracts all now have clauses in them that say I cannot use AI in any part of the process of making the work I submit under contract. Interesting to me as many of these companies have publicly invested in AI

We live near that big warehouse fire and the smoke is so thick it’s making such eerie light. The air makes you cough if you open the door. Not looking forward to the smoke developing a stink from all the rotten food that’s on fire rn.

OOT is the best fantasy game ever made. While I love that younger audiences will have an easier entry point to a series so close to my heart I am so bored of unreal-engine-ass rehashes of old gems. We should have new things, we should have new cultural touchstones! Time is moving forward!!!!

The amount of bravery it took to get to right now will not be easy to feel for awhile. With distance, I hope you will be able to look back at this time as the miracle it is. You are alive, you are ALIVE.
