🎙️ New Episode! 🎙️ We're walking through the airwaves! @ghibliotheque.bsky.social has returned with a festively fused new season exploring the adapted works of Raymond Briggs, beginning here with perenial TV favourite: The Snowman. ⛄ 🎧 Now available wherever you find your podcasts! 🎧

The problem is Netflix already has a track record of doing the opposite, based on the constant ebb n flow of the media landscape they created and the constant shuffling of people in charge of various depts of the company, not just animation. Lotta false promises. As the saying goes, “fool me once…”

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

Even though the iPad is a superb tool, I still find ideas run more freely on paper and pencil.. there’s a tactile, ethereal quality to the way it feels that just isn’t replicated by technology.. sometimes it’s easy to forget this! #sketching #sketchbook #drawing #doodles

The magnificent life of Marcel Pagnol by Sylvain Chomet - I spent a year or so animating on this, so looking forward to it finally coming out into the cinemas / theatres! #animation #film #art youtu.be/sPP56k1m3hs
