Two pieces of good news today, and I’m glad our trailer could be one of them. An army of filmmakers are working their butts off, and having a ball putting this all together. #TheMandalorianandGrogu #VFX #Animation #ThisIsTheWay #StarWars

I keep a little sign on my desk that says “I am lucky to be here!”, as a reminder to be grateful if I’m down or facing obstacles. I’m going to add this as well:

The producers of the new Downton Abbey film have really missed an opportunity. Should be set in modern day. The Abbey is now a boutique hotel, which the Crawley family now haunt. Proper hard R horror. Titled "Creepy Crawleys"

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Chef’s kiss…

Hello #India! This is my first visit to your beautiful country. I’m here visiting our team @ilmvfx.bsky.social Mumbai

May this portion of the dissent by Ketanji Brown Jackson haunt John Roberts forever and be the final word on his tenure as Chief Justice.

Have had a wonderful first visit to Sydney to meet the team at our @ilmvfx studio there. Just one small snag on my last day: #VFX #Animation #Kaiju

The President cannot commandeer any local law enforcement. The President does not run the Smithsonian. The monthly BLS jobs report is required by law. Release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Jim Cameron on digital and physical effects: “It’s really the higher question of what are you trying to show, and what are you trying to say? I don’t attach some kind of dogmatic aesthetic around in-camera or practical... It’s really just a means to an end.” source: youtu.be/v_x3OZlnkwM?...

To the folks who have ignorantly insisted that digital VFX are a lazy cheat, that the computer does all the work, now is your moment. That is literally generative AI you’re describing #VFX #Animation #Film

"Did you not realize what this would be, being f*cking Gestapo? Quit your job. It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming...anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!” A rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in #Kansas. www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/americans-...

We have been warned about this moment for all our lives. Now it's here. What will you do about it?

Name that scene: “Soooo look with care, for the shape of a square…”

Proud to say I helped bring the Shit-Weasel into being. #VFX #Animation

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before? That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators. My how times change ...

Well done NYC, well done

JAWS premiered in theaters fifty years ago today! So I'm posting the first experimental art video that I did, back when I was still working on my Quint (and Hooper) piece. Very happy that it's going to be in the upcoming Printed in Blood "JAWS: Artbook"!

Our little magic mountain #Hiking #Marin #MtTamalpais

San Rafael, Ca #NoKings

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone.   If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Buying stock in popcorn …

Hiking the Dipsea trail, from Mill Valley, to Stinson Beach on an absolutely perfect Saturday #Hiking #Marin #California

Love this from Pedro Pascal at Cannes: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don’t let them win"

If there’s any sliver lining to the current fuckery, it’s the knowledge that though something is enshrined in the constitution, it is not immutable. I’m looking at you, 2A

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded: “Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

#MayThe4th be with you! Here's some of my #StarWars art drawn with pencil and ink on watercolor paper. Cad Bane, Leia and Luke, and Halloween Grogu are available as signed, ltd. edition giclées - see link in bio! #LeiaOrgana #LukeSkywalker #R2-D2 #CadBane #Grogu @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

QRT with your black and white art! I love drawing in pencil and ink....

In celebration of May the 4th, here’s a memory from a pretty great day on set. #maythe4thbewithyou #StarWars #VFX

I was moonlighting as a projectionist when Solar Babies came out. The pitch must have been wild “Rollerblades… in the desert!”

Workers of the world unite! Happy May Day! #Labor #MayDay #Unions

Great illustration of a favorite character from a brilliant film

Excited that the fans at Celebration in Japan got a peek at just a tiny bit of the fun we’re cooking up for #TheMandalorianAndGrogu #StarWars #VFX #Animation

Tomorrow is the day! Season 2 of the #ILM docu-series “Light and Magic” directed by Joe Johnston, debuts on Disney+! #VFX #Starwars #Animation

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

On Saturday April 5th, I was double inducted as an honorary member of both the 501st, and The Rebel Legion! I'm a double agent baby! Working both sides, light AND dark! #StarWars #Romics2025

I’ll be wearing sunglasses on the plane, so no one can see the tears. Arrivederci #Rome

Ciao for now beautiful #Rome - it’s been an absolute dream

I made a chonky orange friend here in #Rome #Romics2025

Seemed appropriate in the current political climate, to pay my respects #Rome #AntonioGramsci
