I stayed up late last night trying to put together something to honor Tony Stella’s passing, what it meant to work with him, and all he meant to so many of us in the broader film community. A true legend, and an absolutely heartbreaking loss.

Film is My Absolute Obsession: On Tony Stella
The world won't be the same without Tony Stella in it, but his spirit, integrity, and passionate love of movies lives on in the work he left behind.

Tony Stella was a legend. Few can live up to the pure artistry he could express with his work. The world of film and art is lesser without him and he will be missed beyond compare. May he RIP.

Tony Stella made me want to be better. In an endless landscape of homogenous digital work, it was like oh yeah, this is the guy to try and keep pace with. Goddamn, what a loss.

Here’s just ONE of the artists Marvel Studios let go today: Wesley Burt, a brilliant veteran, one of the best in the industry. He made the viral Fantastic Four Valentine’s day card! He was also pivotal for the look of many films and shows like for example Loki, Black Panther, Avengers and so on!

Can’t believe the news, Disney shutting down the marvel. vis dev department. This teams art made them billions and billions of dollars, but it seems that paying a handful or so of fulltime illustrators is simply too much to ask these days.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

So saddened to hear about Gary Kelley’s passing. Kelley has been my favorite illustrator since i’ve been in art school, and you cannot overstate the level of influence he’s had on the American illustration cannon. One of the greatest to ever do it, and A terrible loss

You don't really want this. So much of TV is changed and discovered in the process. No master plan survives 13 eps of production. Your actors' abilities and chemistry opens up story paths you never imagined. Other ideas sink like a lead balloon. Master plans are overrated.
