- Check out the documentary, Wick is Pain. It’s a fascinating account of the hurdles the first film had to overcome and the subsequent evolution and success of the franchise. I feel incredibly lucky to be part of a new chapter in the character’s history. #johnwick #animationisfilm

- KUBO AND THE SEASON OF MONKEY - It’s been interesting to see all the reactions to Ryan Coogler’s rights deal for Sinners. I started to imagine what I’d do if the rights to Kubo ever came back to me. They won’t, but one can dream:) #kubo #kuboandthetwostrings #artistsrights
- For all my pals who've had a rough time. Love ya.

- In his seminal work, The Legend of Kamui, Shirato Sanpei expresses simply and elegantly how it was and how it is.
- Thought y’all might enjoy Gordon petting a good girl.
- Here are a few shots from last night’s Annie Awards. Believe it or not, I’m not an extrovert, but there is something special about mingling with folks you love and admire. More to come. PS I’m sure we can all agree that @marlonweststl.bsky.social is ALWAYS the flyest guy in the room.
- Reposted by Shannon TindleI really want my friends to get their shows greenlit. My friends have such great show ideas that I would love to work on. I’m so tired of (redacted) and I just really want more imagination and heart in animation. Animation can do so much. We are not one thing. It’s a medium. Please let us do it.
- Win or lose, I can’t wait to celebrate with my team and our fellow nominees at the Annie Awards this weekend!!! A huge thanks to Tsuburaya global and Netflix for making this possible! . . . . #ultramanrising #annieawards #netflixanimation #tsuburayaproductions #ultraman

- DuDuDuDuDuDuDuDu - BATMAN!!!
- I thought y’all might wanna see what a WIP Gordon drawing looks like. He has become my comfort and my avatar. I’ve got big plans for him. But all of that starts with a sketch. Who would like to see his full story as a comic or a tv series?
