I'm working on a picture book of a blue character

I made a couple of scripts to extract an frame from Figma to HTML.

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it's "the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it".... man.......

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno

What is the sound of the internet breaking?

“Only a dozen minerals (crystalline compounds) are known to have existed among the ingredients that formed the solar system 4.6 billion years ago, but today Earth has more than 4,400 mineral species. … Remarkably, more than half of the mineral species on Earth owe their existence to life, which began transforming the planet’s geology more than two billion years ago.”

A cold [but honorable] death

Yesterday, I saw Primal's episode "A Cold Death". It's one of the most beautiful animation episodes I've ever seen.

It made me sob.

EDIT: I started this draft some time ago, probably around February. I decided to finish it.

I finished the whole series, which consist of 2 seasons. I don't follow a lot of what's happening in the "TV shows" world, so I can't do a proper comparison in terms of "it's like X show but better than Y show", but I really doubt there's anything out there that is remotely similar. It's action-packed, devastating, emotional, compelling, the sound design is spectacular, drawn landscapes are beautiful, the story telling is just tight.

I want to be more organized and practice self discipline.

I want a camera. I want to document my process, art, progress.

I want to sing more.

I need to build a setup for art & music.

This trailer was taken from a 35mm print. The film was scanned in 2K on a Lasergraphics Scanstation. Although the print came with an optical stereo track, a higher quality source was found in a DAT tape made from the MOS disc. The high quality digital stereo soundtrack was recorded from this tape. A small amount of color correction was done to fix inconsistencies between certain shots. Some shots were slightly reframed to hide on-set equipment.
