TOMORROW! And as a special since I know people will have fursona they want to show off, I'm dropping my selfie pricing. In the past I've charged $40 for a photo or $20 when purchased with a print, for Sunday it will be $25 for a photo by itself or $15 when added to a print. Can't wait to meet folks!

Friendly reminder that we're in the final weekend for this call! The turnout's been lovely thus far, but if you'd like to audition, please get your file(s) submitted by MONDAY at 10am PDT (UTC-7 because the US does Daylight Savings time-change madness on the 8th). Thanks, all! 🐋

Hello, Mr. Criterion? Yeah, just checking in to see when we're getting Bloodsport....no, I'm not joking....oh, you want to go? Okay, let's put Bloodsport's cultural impact up against Kieślowski's Three Colours Trilogy. How do you say Matae in Polish?

The question remains - do you care what genAI is doing to the art you make, the art you love, the whole creative community? Some decided they don't care. Some decided to sh*t on those who do care. Some decided to duck the question and not rock the boat. The question is coming for them regardless.

Me: Okay, brain, lots to do on different fronts today, let's make a plan, focus, and... My brain: "🎵 Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Booooom (Trouble keeps you running faster!) Sonic Boom, Sonic Boom, Sonic Booooom (Save the planet from disaster!)"🎵

To explain the concept of autism masking to my partner I told her how for "A Nightmare Before Christmas" they built a separate head for every possible expression and mouth shape Jack Skellington needed, and how it becomes habit to constantly wonder what face you need to summon to pass for human.

It's funny to suddenly be juggling three writing projects when...wait, no funny isn't the right word, what word do I mean...sorry my brain isn't working did I mention I was juggling three writing projects?

I'm also opening myself up for freelancing contracts again on a VERY SHORT TERM BASIS. If you have need of English Dub script adaptation, narrative design, voice direction, text editing.... Let's talk.

In the last month, Marin has had their gender affirming surgery pulled out of reach, and now they’ve been laid off. I’m doing what I can to support them here but if anyone has any help they can offer I can’t bear to see them lose hope like this

guys, reading & listening comprehension is important. so many things are going on rn, & it’s easy to accidentally spread misinfo/misrepresent something if you don’t check a video/article thoroughly or make sure you trust a source before you speak on it. reactionary posting is nobody’s friend.

I'll have stills from ZZZ plus these two commissioned Lycaon pieces in both 8x10 and 11x17 at the March 8th appearance at Requiem Cafe in Anaheim. Not sure yet if we'll have Pinnec stills - haven't got a sense yet for the size of his fanbase. But it will be great to be meeting fans in person again!

✨🐦 CASTING CALL ⚓️📃 Hi! I'm directing a semi-fantastical visual novel for a 2-month jam.

Waited until my sister posted pics so I knew what she would be comfortable with having out there - but yeah, here are a few shots of Uncle Nick helping manage the Disneyland expedition. It was little Mary's first time!

You're welcome, vampires who commit heists of blood banks!

Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)

Flashback to playing Renfield in a stage production of "Dracula," where I got to drink rat blood, escape from a gimmicked straitjacket, stab someone with a lobotomy probe, and generally chew the scenery in any way I could imagine.

Great insight in an audition workshop today that I want to tattoo on my brain because it articulates something essential in a really simple way and applies to both film and VO: "If you play back your audition and can imagine anybody else doing what you did, you didn't put enough work in."

Hot take - empanadas rule.

Writing some some cool stuff today. And what's cooler? You might even see it someday.

These thieves keep stealing blueprints from my theft empire!

Not sure why the new movie is going to be called "Minions & Monsters" when "Minions: The Bananality of Evil" is right there.

During our Disneyland trip, my nephew kindly asked me if I was having any fun. I told him that, for grownups, helping kids have fun is a kind of fun. He looked at me like that was the dumbest thing he'd ever heard.

The final tally after two days of helping my sister take her 9-year old and 5-year old through Disneyland and California Adventure. Fitbit's calorie count doesn't factor in the miles when I was carrying the 5-year old. Hope we made some good memories for them. Excuse me while I pass out.

Do you think when the Empire notifies the surviving family members about a TIE Fighter pilot lost in battle they include that he got killed by Star Tours?

At Disneyland with my niece and nephew. Me to five-year old Mary: "Look, it's Tigger!" Mary: "I'M SCARED OF HIIIIIIM!"

Finally watched the new "Muppet Show" and A) did not expect the closing Statler & Waldorf gag to go that dark, and B) retire Satay the Muppet now, he'll never top this moment, let his legend grow.

My 5 year-old niece asked to play a videogame with me so I fired up Steam and she immediately started impersonating a streamer: "ok guys today we're playing the game 'SONIC GAME' this is a different game ok 3-2-1 GO!"

The brunch was large. Just like our love.

I love "Wonder Man"'s fidelity to the utter strangeness of the Hollywood grind. Like, yeah, I can imagine a day where my apartment is too trashed for a self-tape so I go out to a taping service which wastes my time/money, then wind up driving to Malibu and having a weird random celebrity run-in.

AI is so inherently popular that companies are paying influencers up to $600,000 to tell people how awesome it is: aftermath.site/ai-influencer-...

This is my college roommate and I'm pretty confident he's going to make roughly one gajillion dollars apnews.com/press-releas...

I think I can safely say now that I auditioned to narrate two different Super Bowl commercials. I didn't book either, but it's an amazing feeling to know I got to shoot my shot at all. Big ups to my agent Luanne Regis for sending me out. We'll keep swinging.

Sent development notes to the writer of a horror movie I want to direct and included references to the movies "Coherence" and "Zentropa" along with the Philip K. Dick novel "Ubik" and ye Gods friends I really want to direct a feature I've done everything almost- and adjacent-to doing it that you can

One thing I do that looks weird in public but I don't care is stretches and movement while waiting to board a plane. Like honestly, we've got plenty of sitting ahead of us, this is my blood's last chance to flow for a few hours.

Without even knowing what anime was, two of my favorite childhood shows were actually dubs - "Belle and Sebastian" and "Tranzor Z," a heavily-Americanized "Mazinger Z." 80's TV was filled with giant cartoon robots, but "Tranzor Z" made for one crazy-ass deep cut. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL9V...

I am personally prepared to not return to LA Comic Con unless Comikaze Entertainment publicly stops their dealings with Doron Ofir. People need to apply pressure to the LA Comic Con and Comikaze Entertainment social media pages. Tell them you won't associate with a convention tied to Epstein.

About time fur me to appear at another event, don't you think? Stay tuned...

Flashback to that time when a castmate in a play wanted to share cigars with his fellow men in the show in order to demonstrate the virtues of being a cigar guy. I did not become a cigar guy.

I think we all know who's impeding this essential project... CAM WINSTON!

Man, digesting this news* about MST3K and I have FEELINGS to sort through. (*Joel Hodgson sold off his co-ownership of the show and all assets to SHOUT! Factory and they've brought back the Sci-Fi Channel era trio of Mike/Kevin/Bill to produce four new episodes co-branded with their RiffTrax work.)

Potentially big day in Thurkettle country tomorrow, folks. If you've got some extra karma you could skim off, I'll appreciate it.

Not sure why it is that animators keep hitting monster home runs when they parody mobsters but I'm just grateful to live in a world where it happens.

Introduced some friends to "Innerspace" and Jesus Murphy, Martin Short's character works as a checkout clerk at a Safeway and he has his own Silicon Valley apartment and enough savings to purchase a cruise vacation, such different times.

Her greatness is woven into so many of my favorite stories. One of the best to ever do it and a non-stop creator of joy. I don't even know where to start. This one hurts. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/c...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I remember how Guillermo Del Toro argued that WHAT you depict in art isn't the point of art: "What did that guy Van Gogh paint today?" "Flowers." "Huh. Some painter he is." It's the process of pouring yourself in, striving to capture something, that reflects in your work. Never skip that part.

Got to see "Hard Boiled" on the big screen in a 4K restoration with a couple of first-timers. We've lost this level of delirium-inducing action chaos in movies. I will always love John Woo for deciding that the way to introduce the most lethal cop in Hong Kong is to show him playing jazz clarinet.
