For a long time, he had stepped away from official stages.And no one asked why Pouya Faragardi,and hundreds like him,stopped showing up to concert halls and rehearsal rooms.He was killed by government security forces on January 8. #iranmassacre

He was wounded. He escaped the hospital so he wouldn’t fall into the hands of security forces. They found him anyway. They arrested him. Then, in an alley outside his mother’s home, they shot him in the head, from behind. Saeed GolSorkhi died in his mother’s arms. #iranmassacre

She said, “Dad, I’m burning, I’m burning.” Her father kissed the mole near her lip, and kissed it, and kissed it, and kissed it. Negin Ghadimi wanted to share her voice in protest with Iranians. She died in her father’s arms. #iranmassacre

When I design a character, I put it in different situations to see how “it” acts and becomes alive!

When I start working on a new story, the daunting scope of the work is overwhelming, but it becomes the thing I look forward to when I open my eyes in the morning. I’m in the overwhelming phase now!

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite. Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-rise-o...

Thrilled to finally hold *Tabriz* in my hands! Countless hours of love and collaboration with the talented artists at Crafty Games, brought to life by the brilliant design of Randy Flynn. The board game looks absolutely stunning. #tabrizgame
