When I first saw @dannymclasker as pirate assassin Mr. Nine in Netflix's One Piece, I knew that I must be him for Halloween.
I have republished my 2017 interview with Jeff Burke, lead creator of Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris!
In this interview, Jeff shares his hopes for the 2018 refurbishment, and he reveals what the upper floors of the ride faΓ§ade look like inside!

It was fascinating to take part in Efteling's new "how angry will you be if we change this" Fata Morgana survey!
Naturally, I had some thoughts on the smells.
Happy Halloween!
Here is a clip from Dark Universe, Epic Universe.
I enjoyed how the violinist provided music but also interacted with the environment's happenings.

Cache is insanely talented and we run in the same VFX circles, so it's super lame to see a massive production straight up steal her work.
A$AP's vid is credited to AI Artists, so the question is did they knowingly rip off the clip or just not know where their prompting was stealing from? Either way, bad form.
A$AP Rocky accused of using visuals from a 2019 video in his βShroom Cloudsβ music video ππ¨
- The original creator has shared a comparison highlighting the similarities between the two videos
- The accusations add to the backlash over Rockyβs use of AI, with multiple AI artists credited in the production
- Rocky and his team have yet to publicly respond to the allegations

Loyd was very supportive during my time as a student and then runner at Aardman.
He gave valuable advice during my animation internship that elevated the quality of my work, and he took the time to give feedback on my showreel.
A notably knowledgeable and friendly man.
Weβre deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Loyd Price. A gifted animator, mentor and friend, Loyd dedicated more than 30 years to Aardman, inspiring and championing generations of animators along the way.
We feel lucky and proud to have known him and our thoughts are with his whole family β€οΈ

Someone on TikTok said this candle from The Range smells like Pirates of the Caribbean.
It does have the sweet, woody effect, but to me it smells like men's deodorant at the same time.
I recently had the honour of opening a new, themed library at St. Augustine's Primary School!
I spoke to the children about my work with smells and how it inspired my novel The Doom Town Dummies.

One of the most exciting aspects of IAAPA is meeting people who I know well or have worked with but haven't met in person, meeting old friends, and making new acquaintances!
Thank you Slewis Curious for the beautiful corpse flower, which is appropriately adorned with a removable corpse!
I am proud to own number 1/150 of this odious ornament.
I have republished an article from October 2019!
'Phantom Manor: The Portraits of Melanie Ravenswood' analyses how the portraits displayed at Phantom Manor have affected the ride's storytelling.
