Yup.

Just a doodle in Karma tweaking on displacement and another band show with a 3 piece version of New Not Normals.

Just trying to avoid the news ya know? I have a cubic fuck ton of portfolio updates to get to at some point, but I have always had such a distaste for the, “look at me, lookat me, LOOKATME” hustle. I dunno, I should get to that eventually. Fairly busy oddly, which we take as a indicator that the AI slop is not actually getting traction like the corpos hoped. Bonus, “FUCK AI” shout out.

"CEO Said A Thing!" Journalism

Boy does this sum up a lot of the problems in the tech world and the web in general…

“There's no better example of this than what I affectionately refer to as "CEO said a thing!" journalism. "CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.

…

The grand irony is I'm not even sure most people click on or read this sort of stuff. I don't think it's often even created to be read by anyone. I think it's created as a sort of swaddling fan fiction for MBAs, advertisers, event sponsors and sources, so they can tune out ethical quibbles and feel good about how clever they are.

The result is a sort of alternative reality journalistic simulacrum that kind of looks like journalism, but genuinely isn't interested in any context or truth that upsets the apple cart. It's a sort of journalistic Ken Doll with the genitals sanded off to a smooth hump to avoid offending anyone. “

Some interior work we did for Trailborn is live now as well. Did some HDR type composites and lots of other comps.

New Work in the Wild.

Some shoes we worked on just popped up the Wilson site.

New Work in the Wild.

Just saw some of our work out there. Had a lot of layers going on in this one.

Not a lot of posting going on here as I am drastically limiting my time on the internet. It’s just changed into a AI slop machine now. Look up, “Dead internet theory” and I do believe that is the new reality. It’s AI spewing AI now. Anyways….. the internet I loved and have been blogging on for years is no more and it kinda makes me sad.

The Thousand Faces of Cassian Andor

“Hollywood script doctor Tony Gilroy had finally decided to write his friend Kathleen Kennedy, the president of Lucasfilm, a long-overdue letter; one that took the experiment that he, Gareth Edwards, and the cast and crew of Rogue One had started years ago to the next level. A radical pitch that framed the Star Wars Galaxy as the backdrop for a story about a revolutionary in-the-making, set upon a collision-course with history, destiny, and the unrelenting forces of Imperial oppression.”
