I stopped sharing our Year in Review stuff once I went on holiday because I try to, you know, stop working when I've stopped working. But I'm making an exception for my Ghost of Yotei piece that went live over the weekend:

muppet christmas carol (happy holidays!)

everyone that says generative ai is already here and i better get with the times fundamentally misunderstands how firmly i can hold a grudge

honestly the only surprising thing here is how long it took marvel studios to become marvel comics

I will *happily* read everything that comes out of this, and every version of Archie has been interested in one way or another, but man, it really reads like Archie Comics is basically throwing in the towel here.

this is the most "Get a Job, Stay Away From Her" I've ever felt

if the name and people involved don't do it for you, please know the trailer says the following and be convinced: IT'S A HERDER MYSTERY

good games www.avclub.com/best-games-2...

Fun story: still no physical release for the last couple She-Ra seasons. Me in October:

now that work holiday has begun, it is finally time to give this one a fair shake before it disappears forever in january

Extremely excited to share the second part of my Remade series, talking to Falcom's Toshihiro Kondo about Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, how they used it to recapture nostalgia, "nurture" newer developers, and discover what the series might have lost www.inverse.com/gaming/trail...

After years of knowing I should, I finally sat down and watched Tokyo Godfathers. Me in re:frame #39, out now:

concept art is one of the gateway softballs generative ai is constantly referenced as being useful for and i cannot for the life of me imagine a *worse* one what do you mean you want to outsource a major creative seed of your art? that's not exploring what could be, that's boxing yourself in

the trick to drinking more water is to think deeply about the act in progress such that you realize how goddamn refreshing it is but not the individual muscles in motion so as not to unintentionally start drowning yourself with a cup

RE:FRAME posted a conversation with me, Bill Plympton and Kambole Campbell. We discuss the reasons why NYC indie animation is thriving, how to build an animation community in the largest US city, what we think of AI and much more. A must read for aspiring animators! buttondown.com/reframe/arch...

Looks like @dkbailey64.bsky.social's interview with Keita Takahashi has been making the rounds before I could even share it! Full thing definitely worth a read.

SHINJI IKARI from Neon Genesis Evangelion

Yusuke, from YuYu Hakusho 👉 💥

it is an unjust world and yet somehow there have been 3 knives out movies and god willing there will be at least 15 more and i think that is a small miracle

strongly believe there's a resurgence for human curation just beyond the horizon for these same reasons

Say what you will about the state of modern comics journalism, but The Beat's year-end lists are consistently a must-read for me. Few outlets manage the same breadth and depth, and despite being extremely plugged in myself I consistently find something new and exciting to read.
