The late great Bob McKnight's artwork is at risk of being seized and destroyed if something isn't done about it. His dearest friend and mentee Rob Griggs has set up a GoFundMe to help save his property, including his extensive art archives. Bob LOVED animation and it's history, help preserve it!

I always feel privileged when I get to animate a classic character, let alone for a job. Feels good, man.

Out of respect for people unable to watch the theatrical screening of Episode 9, please do not spoil the story for others after you see it.

In the meantime - spread the word to more theatres across the world! We WANT more people to watch this!!

Was somehow able to snag tickets. And I'll do my part by shutting the hell up and not saying a thing about it until everyone else has seen it.

While I'm hyped to all hell about this and super happy for the crew involved shaking the system up by doing this, if the new Mario movie was any indication, it's gonna be nearly impossible to get tickets to this and somehow not get spoiled before this comes out online, so I'm concerned & conflicted.

Keep spreading the word and donating if you can! We're halfway there and we just need to go just a bit more to save his stuff!

His best friend Rob is planning on compiling some Bob's art into a potential book to honor his memory n legacy, but only if he's able to save his work first.

Heartbroken today. My friend and neighbor Michelle is gone. Stage 4. She passed today. We must find a loving forever home for her 2 kitties, Kit (F/grey/white) & Caboodle (M/black). Both 3-4yrs old, total sweethearts. Please ask around and send anyone interested my way.. Thank you❤️

Just did a comparison between the image from the new transfer VS the old Bluray. Seriously, thank God. No more highlighter neon yellow hair.

Been watching/listening to @prozdplaysgames.bsky.social while I animate, specifically all the Mario Party playlists. Hearing @prozdishere.bsky.social lose all will to continue while playing Mario Party 2 was both heartbreaking and hilarious. Super relatable to how I felt playing those games too.

I saw the new Mario movie yesterday, but more importantly, we got a chicken finger that looked like a foot.

Nothing feels more apt to my current state of being in this current climate than the footage of the Rapunzel animatronic in Tokyo dreamily disassociating while being ravaged by crows.

Really enjoy this review of the new mario movie and those who fall behind the "Well it's for kids" line too often.

I just realized, will I get a new residual stream from the video release of the shorts I voiced in? If so, Yippee!

70 out of 101. Not bad, but there's a few I KNOW I've had on my list for ages (ie I Lost My Body, Dead Leaves, etc.)! Gotta remedy these soon.
