Where do you draw the line?

Oh, damn, Criterion. THE COMPLETE KUBRICK. www.criterion.com/boxsets/9000...

Just received this fantastic review of Extinct - a 220 page hardback collection of my work. You can get your copy here: dragonsofwales.etsy.com/listing/4381...

Man, I hope this works.

I had no idea Toy Story 5 was out. I barely knew it existed, even though I read industry news sites weekly. Not that I needed to know, but I think this is confirmation that I've done a pretty good job of siloing myself off from ads, which isn't at all difficult.

October can't come soon enough.

I should not be awake.

I made a slight update to my Indigenous hero costume modeled after a diabloceratops. I wanted to make it a bit less literal and seem a bit more hand made. Not satisfied, but it’s a start.

Happy Father's Day! Additional #lordoftherings animation production cels have just been added to our listings: ebay.io/m/iYs9eE

I just registered the domain name alecf.me and only just realized it sounds a bit like a personal Only Fans domain or something. Oh, well. f me.

I was thinking of a Native American superhero who took inspiration from dinosaurs and quickly sketched this diabloceratopsian version. #dinosaurs

Not only am I a mediocre 3D modeler, but I'm also a mediocre landscaper. This stupid path took way longer than it needed to. It was mostly undulating dirt, which turned to mud, and tendrily, awful grass. Now, we have an adjoining path that, I hope, will puddle less. Needs more plants.

Air quality in Los Angeles and surrounding cities is atrocious today because of a fricking warehouse fire. I must be missing something about this fire. I don't understand why it's taking so long to extinguish. It's been a week.

When my kids wonder why I have no interest in going to China, I simply think of sharks with no fins sinking to their deaths, endangered species being used for superstitious remedies, and stuff like this... As China gorges on homegrown foie gras, France faces a new rival -

I'm hungry again, but I'm gonna call this good enough for now and rig it after dinner, or maybe tomorrow, since I actually want to go to a bar tonight and drink...heavily. #StarWars #b3d #blender #stormtrooper

#News: #Food or #palmoil? 🍍🛑 Farmers in Edo State #Nigeria protesting a plan to kick them off their land for a #palmoil plantation. For 60 years, they've fed their families. Now they face eviction. #Landrights #BoycottPalmOil 🇳🇬✊🏾 @palmoildetect.bsky.social agronigeria.ng/farmers-prot...

I'm hungry. Hand armor and back plates after lunch, and then get a basic rig on it. #StarWars #Stormtrooper #b3d #blender

🚨 You saw the announcement. Now dig into what’s coming. ReelRank V1.0.0 is packed: Letterboxd imports, Now Watching, user polls, writer upgrades, a huge UI refresh, and quality-of-life fixes across the site. Read the full patch notes! medium.com/reelrank-new... #FilmSky #Promote #ReelRank

So close...I must finish the armor and rig it today! Back armor (redid the chest armor again), shoes, and hand armor...oh, and the belt...and the communicator thingy. I got this. #StarWars #Blender #3DModel #HavingFun

An incomplete sampling of birds in my yard this morning... Red-whiskered bulbul, House Finch, & House Sparrow. Heard my peahen friends, and saw a couple of other species on my walk to the market. #birds #birdphotography

Cut all links of state, corporate, and institutional complicity in Israel's genocidal regime. It’s an ethical and legal obligation! Channel your rage, frustration, and grief into effective, strategic BDS pressure now to support our struggle to end Israel’s ongoing Nakba.

Today we mark #WorldRefugeeDay. Palestinians are among the largest refugee populations in the world. For over 78 years, apartheid Israel has denied our refugees their UN-stipulated right to return home and receive reparations.

#News: Tesso Nilo National Park in #Sumatra #indonesia 🇮🇩has lost 78% of primary forest since 2009 due to illegal #palmoil plantations, endangering species like #tigers #orangutans #elephants. Help them to survive! #BoycottPalmOil 🌴🔥⛔️ #Boycott4Wildlife wp.me/pcFhgU-aly

Not an extraordinary image, but this is the first time this season that I've seen Red-whiskered Bulbuls at my house. They have such a sweet voice. #birding #urbanbirds #birds

Okay, I'll stop spamming about #EdgeFlow add-on for #Blender after this. I just found another use for it. I had some edges perpendicular to one another, but I wanted to have a curve at that junction. Pick edges around that area, use Set Curve option...and curve....

It's #ScreenShotSaturday, and this is GaleriaLux, my endless art gallery made of light. This weeks key word is "PERFORMANCE" (all caps) because I finally squashed the horrible freeze at level loading that was causing the camera to spin out. I'll detail below. #Godot #Blender #GameDev #SoloDev

I'd just mentioned the #EdgeFlow extension for #Blender, and accidentally discovered its intended purpose for cleaning geometry. I'd accidentally borked a row of verts and saved it. EdgeFlow looks at edges attached and moves verts relative to those. Cool!

A cool tool I've been using a lot in #Blender is called Edge Flow (extensions.blender.org/add-ons/edge...). It helps to create uniformity in hard surface modeling. From creating straight lines from selected edges, equally spacing verts, adding curvature, it helps to keep surfaces clean. #3DModeling

Isabella Rossellini is so amazing. GREEN PORNO, SEDUCE ME, and MAMMAS are all quirky, brilliant, and educational. Make sure you watch them, as well as her profile on Criterion Channel.

GLOVES N' GAUNTLETS: ARM ARMOR #art #drawing #history

Another Democratic Socialist is poised to helm another important city. This time, it's Washington D.C. There's a chance LA will be another. While Democratic Socialist doesn't mean there won't be failure or corruption at some point, this is a great step in the right direction.

✨Announcing our JULY 2026 Criterion Channel lineup! ✨ bit.ly/43D8PWX July on the Channel, celebrate the 100th birthday of the great Harry Dean Stanton, delight in the twists & thrills of our Murderous Melodramas collection, binge the surreal cult-favorite TV series THE PRISONER, and so much more.

Auction ends this Friday, 19th June, 12pm EST. 💙

A bit more progress last night. I think I need to split the chest armor in two (I may re-do the chest armor). I'll finish the belt and then start on the leg armor. I'm hoping to wrap this up tonight so I can start rigging and then sculpting the Han & Luke heads. #StarWars #Blender #Diorama

Hey #AAS248!! @caltechipac.bsky.social is TURNING 40 THIS YEAR! To celebrate, we are having a party *cough* splinter session *cough* space prom tonight, from 6:30-8pm, in Room 106. There will be free drinks, food, merch giveaways, games, and I will be wearing this. COME CELEBRATE!!!

Professional sports are rife with religiously enhanced bigotry. It's the nature of the beast, when the pipelines are through religious private high schools in conservative regions of the country. We need to provide mechanisms for diverse thought at that level.

CONCRETE!!!!

Nothing makes me feel more like a turtle than awkwardly eating a sheet of dried seaweed.

I just got a robocall from the universe. It just said, "Goodbye," and hung up.

Seriously, what is Microsoft at this point? Creator of patchwork operating systems, aging game consoles, and destroyer of companies reliant upon their good graces, and milker of the AI teat.

This podcast was fun to do - from Freud and Akhenaten to Asherah and the Bible, we covered a lot. Thread and links to episode below 👇

The most difficult thing for each of us to do is to love ourselves (no matter what). Imagine a world where we each- even that particular one you think might find it *very* hard to do about now - loved ourselves. A total shift in humanity would emerge. I dream the dream.

Two steps forward, one to the side, one diagonal... Deleted the armor straps, added some belly armor detail, added turtleneck rings...spent too much time fiddling with materials. Anyway, progress... #Stormtrooper #Blender #StarWars

Okay, I'm in love.

I just had a dream where I yelled down from a balcony at Netanyahu, "Murderer!!" He climbed up a ladder to the balcony to see who yelled it. When he saw me, he simply replied, "Oh, it's you, my old friend. I won't have you deported to Israel for interrogation." All I could say was, "No kidding."

I watched the first two Bond films on Criterion Channel over the past couple of days. While DR. NO is quite bad, FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE is miles better. It's great to see the growth of the franchise, Connery as an actor, and maturity of the concept from the beginning. Next up is GOLDFINGER. #filmsky
