I’ve lived in my new place in Los Feliz for two days and I’ve already talked to my fellow tenants more than I ever did at my old place in the 8.5 years I lived there.

The rumors are true! I moved to a new pad in Los Feliz. Will I finally take up improv? Only time will tell

A friend pointed out that I’ve now worked on a MacFarlane, a Groening and a Judge: the three architects of Fox Sundays. I can retire in peace

Last day freelancing on KING OF THE HILL! I’ve had a great time working with old friends and making new ones and I’ve drawn the best hands in my life

Rewatching THE JUNGLE BOOK as research and yeah, Shere Kahn really is spectacular, Milt Karl is the best to ever do it, it’s all true etc

It figures, I’m moving to Los Feliz and I finally get a podcast invite

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

After almost nine years living in LA, I finally did my first podcast. Trying to get on Call Me Daddy next

Spent three hours trying to solve some staging and acting choices, drove him and solved all of them as I sat parked in the driveway. Storyboarding!

What’s it like working in Hollywood? Most days you sit in your cube drawing away but every once in awhile celebrities are in your vicinity. It’s wonderful

At the table read for KING OF THE HILL. Stephen Root just walked in holding his Emmy

Tonight is the premiere of the 400th episode of AMERICAN DAD, an episode so crazy you won’t believe it actually got made. It’s another testament to the inhuman skills of the crew and further proof that we should run for at least another 400 episodes

Before my hiatus ends, I’m making a brief stopover in Arlen, Texas. Looking forward to hearing more about this propane business

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Rewatched TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME with some friends who are viewing TP for the first time. Not a horror film but it makes every horror film of the past decade look so juvenile. Maybe the most transcendent performance an actor has given since THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC. A masterpiece

Excited to get back to work tomorrow so I’ll be too busy to post on Bluesky

That psychotic Elizabeth Holmes trailer does confirm my suspicions that 21st century America has been trapped inside one long episode of NATHAN FOR YOU

Do you think Ti West asked his old pal Greta Gerwig advice on directing big budget studios when he got the EBENEEZER gig?

000

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I will say, Swanberg’s finest hour is still YOU’RE NEXT, where he and Ti West play dumbass party guests.

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

THE SUN NEVER SETS: There is something very admirable to the fact that of all the mumblecore filmmakers Joe Swanberg is the only one stubbornly continuing to make romantic dramedies, the deadest of all film genres.

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I’m seeing the new Joe Swanberg film, THE SUN NEVER SETS, today which reminds me of one of the all-time great tweets

Only failing of the HELLRAISER house at Horror Nights is that there’s no room where you enter a into a complex negotiation with Pinhead over whose soul he should take

Coworker told me Facebook Marketplace is THE place for free moving boxes and I think that’s underselling it. I may never need a box ever again

Thought I was going to have a leisurely September before I start back up on AD but I just got offered a short freelance gig too good to turn down. So my hiatus ends Monday night!

I’m going to the opening of Halloween Horror Nights tonight with 40 of my coworkers. We run CityWalk now

Would love to know what calculus went into determining which Looney Tune character in COYOTE VS ACME would either be cel-shaded CG or hand-drawn animation. Sometimes the same character alternates techniques depending on the scene!

I’ve lived in LA long enough that when I see a two bed one bath house in Silverlake list at 1.1 million my first thought is, “Oh that’s a good price.”

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I don’t know if boarding digitally is necessarily harder, all my vet coworkers hated boarding on paper, but it is a different job. You trade-in white out, waiting in line at the Xerox machine, and debilitating wrist issues for stiff on-model drawings, over-posing and endless iteration

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

I’m working on a personal short film so I’ve been using the SBP timeline function to time my boards and unfortunately it is very fun to create your own animatic. The Road to Hell etc, etc

Hard to explain the vibe of Los Feliz but “Read the AV Club religiously before Kinja” is as good as description as any

Some kind soul uploaded a really beautiful track by Lyle Workman from the Netflix show LOVE. I’ve been looking for places in Los Feliz and it’s been reminding of how great that show was. It really captures the elder millennial LA neighborhoods very well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqjT...

Julian Casablancas was NOT completely wasted tonight and The Strokes started ONLY five minutes late. Needless to say I am demanding a refund from Goldenvoice

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

About to leave for Just Like Heaven. I haven’t to a musical festival since, god, 2016? Elvis Costello was the headliner for Bumbershoot that year. The fun of your late 30s/early 40s is trying to figure out “am I too old for this?” vs “it’s good to stay in touch with your younger self.”

Ryan Rosendal @ryanrosendal.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I’m hoping The Strokes play my favorite song of theirs tomorrow: youtu.be/gAYL5H46QnQ?...

This is also an excellent reminder to tell you to watch UNDER THE SILVER LAKE, one of the best films of the 21st century

END OF OAK STREET is by far the most successful of these 80s/Amblin homages. The film captures the darkness and crushing sadness lurking beneath the surface of those movies, it’s a companion piece to POLTERGEIST and ARACHNOPHOBIA

AVATAR World in KINGDOM HEARTS IV. Think about it. Quaritch and Varang team up with the Heartless to steal Ewya’s heart. Quaritch wants to eat Jake’s heart, “for jujubes.” Goofy rides Payakan into battle. The path is clear

Disney no longer owns THE STRAIGHT STORY so the dream of Sora, Donald and Goofy riding with Alvin Straight on his lawnmower is over

This is why THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK rules. Dog owners getting a taste of what cat owners have to put up with.

Here’s a fun comparison: here are my boards compared to the initial animation by our overseas studio, Yearim. It’s pretty crazy how closely they follow our boards but they always make my crude scribbles look great

Here is most of my work from my first show as assistant director, REAPER MADNESS. I love horror movies so this was almost pure bliss. I’m particularly proud of Klaus’s acting during his confession and the banana pan as he falls into the well. vimeo.com/1191022019
