I've learned this is directed by Jordan Downey, who also directed the excellent "Stork" segment in V/H/S Beyond. I keep hearing good things!

Absolute magic holy shit
I don't know *how they pulled off half the images that are in this film. A gorgeous, epic fantasy that's also dark and mature in its storytelling.
Go and see it ASAP!!

I have been unbelievably excited for the latest Laika project ever since we started seeing those teasers all those years ago!

Watched the OG Wicker Man for the first time after seeing the Cage one like 5 times (I know😭)
I was surprised that it's effectively a folk-musical-mystery? It pulls you under this strange spell before the final act tonal shift leaves a pit in your stomach.
Great stuff.

Visually this is up amongst my favourite-looking Kaiju films.
The golden hour images, the framing against miniatures, the suits themselves? All look so terrific.
Some amazing storytelling and revelations in this one too, just all the stuff I look for.

I turn 33 today! 🎂
My wife surprised me with the fibre art holy grail: an entire slab of DMC 310 black. I use this colour in basically all of my work, so this is incredible.

Finish the Midnight Meat Train & Yattering and Jack.
I'm so glad I finally kicked myself to read some Barker, this is electric.

A good, stylish time that wears its Carpenter pastiche with pride.
As much as I love a lean 90 minute thriller, I kinda wish it was a little longer? Some more time to chew on some of the really cool ideas would've been sick, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I spent ages taking footage while making my most recent cross stitch commission, and made this fun long edit!
It's the longest compilation I've made so far for my craft, and people really seem to be rocking with it!

I was very lucky to receive a review copy of Jane Schoenbrun's debut novel, Public Access Afterworld!
I absolutely loved it, and highly recommend checking it out if you're a fan of their work.

Another Melbourne/PAX trip in the books for the year!
Had an absolute blast seeing people this year and previewing games, the Ff14 and Alien Isolation 2 experiences were my standouts alongside a heap of excellent looking Indies!
It went by in a blur. Til next year ✌️

the Lanterns finale was fantastic. Mundy, Lindelof, and King crafted a really fantastic first season exploring what programs us, and this first season wrapped it up perfectly.
Can't wait for that next season!
