Yesterday I learned of the passing of Billy Petras, and this hit me like a lunch to the gut. Dude had such an influence on art direction in games, as Art Director on both OG WoW and Overwatch, but you would never know it because he was so incredibly humble, kind, and generous.

I was fortunate to work with Bill Petras on multiple projects at Blizzard. He was a great art director with a keen eye who inspired and empowered every artist on the team to do their best work. He was also humble, supportive and funny and we all loved working with him. Rest in peace, Bill.

All this Kobe vs LeBron stuff leaves out that Kobe would have swept the Monstars while LeBron would have needed a Game 7 buzzer beater from anime Austin Reaves.

Quick work note, heading into 2025 I have some open time in my schedule to take on some consulting work: world building, creative and narrative direction, etc. In addition to myself, I also have additional writing bandwidth to handle larger production/writing tasks!
