I voice 14 different characters in THE ELEPHANT available now on HBO Max, this was such a unique, fascinating experience. Three different creative teams led by Pendleton Ward, Rebecca Sugar + Ian Jones-Quartey, and Patrick McHale each worked separately on segments without seeing what the others were doing, essentially an animated version of Exquisite Corpse.

Jordan Jensen voices the lead character, and Maria Bamford and I play ALL the other characters. Getting to work with all these incredible creators was a dream come true for me, and it was one of the most unique recording processes I've ever been a part of, just working with three different creative teams in succession and weirdly knowing more about the entire project than any of them individually, since none of them were allowed to know anything about the other segments. I'm very grateful to be a part of such a cool project

Another really old drawing from 2019-20, but still love this vibe of melancholic freedom. Inspired after watching The Wind Rises

We need to bring up that Ursula K LeGuin quote about commodified fantasy more often. We need to be meaner.

On this day, 4 October 1936, Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists planned to march through a predominantly Jewish section of East London, instead the Battle of Cable Street occured. The fascists were met by over 100,000 local residents and workers who – insistent that 'They shall not pass!' – fought both the blackshirts and the police protecting them, forcing the march to be abandoned.

Reg Weston who was there, described what happened when the fascists and their police escort met the crowds, including many women and dockworkers: "The fascists were assembling by the Royal Mint and police started to make baton charges, both foot and mounted, to try to clear a way for them to escort a march. They did not succeed. A barricade started to go up. A lorry was overturned, furniture was piled up, paving stones and a builders yard helped to complete the barrier. The police managed to clear the first, but found a second behind it and then a third. Marbles were thrown under the hooves of the police horses; volleys of bricks met every baton charge."

Meanwhile, women stood at the windows of local tenements, hurling missiles at police, and heading downstairs to pursue officers who fled.

Eventually, Weston explained: "the Metropolitan Police chief, who had been directing operations, told Sir Oswald it would be impossible for him to have his march through the East End to his proposed rally in Victoria Park. The uniformed Blackshirts formed up and marched. But they marched west not east. They went through the deserted City of London and ended up on the Embankment, where they just dispersed — defeated."

I just heard my mom tell my brother, “when you die, you will go outside and garden until your father says you’re done” and it took me a second to realize that my brother was playing a videogame and this was not a theological discussion.
