Heya NG... how u doin? It's spring?!

w......t...........f..............??

I've been pretty busy but also tryna take it easy at the same time..!

still drawing as always, I've found a new gust of inspiration and recently drew myself out of a slump with my comic, so I'm having fun continuing that story!

I was sick with a cold this week so I didn't go outside at all and instead watched a bunch of black and white movies with Wanda...

out of everything we watched the one that left the biggest mark on me was The Seventh Seal. it's about a knight who encounters death and challenges him to a game of chess. that's all I'll say about the plot.

The movie has a real foreboding and eerie atmosphere, the visuals struck me in a way I haven't felt before. I wouldn't say I'm anxious about death but it is something that crosses my mind every now and then.

definitely a good one to check out on a whim after seeing one cool screenshot!! Yojimbo is also sick, such a cool watch having already seen A Fistful of Dollars.. seeing the origins of it in a samurai movie is bonkers.

also Tetsuo the Iron Man is fucking insane

so yeah, been watching alot of good movies lately... I should also mention GENIUS PARTY - BEYOND.

Caddy showed me this one and it lit a spark under my ass and ignited the fire in my heart again for animation, it's a killer anthology with a bunch of experimental shorts. there's moments I find to be duds, but overall it's a kickass solid package of stylish animation!!

my favourite short by a mile in the thing is called MOONDRIVE. It's got this rad 'behind the scenes' style to it that I've never seen done on a similar level, where next to every shot contains the outlines of layout sheets, edges of the background paint are visible and a bunch of other artifacts of the animation process are left in which goes alongside the kinetic-- energetic keyframes to create one of the most electrifying and RAD things i've seen in a LONG TIME!!

plus it takes place on the MOON!!! COME ON HOW CAN YA BOY NOT LOVVIT?!?!

I've wanted to gush about that one for a while.

I feel like winter is withering finally, I can just now feel it begin to leave my body... I hope your feeling some sense of vitality now that everything should be blooming. the seasons definitely are getting more and more out of wack as the years go on but hey...

how are you holding up? working on anything cool, or watch/play anything cool lately? shit man, tomorrow two 4s come out... John Wick 4 and resident evil 4..... 4 4 4 4!!!!!! STUDIO 4c!!! THEY MADE MOONDRIVE! WOAH!
