The Ballard of Wallace Island
The Ballard of Wallace island. I’m an awkward single man in his late 40’s. I mean I work a lot on being charming and just presentable but when I meet someone I really like or feel nervous the babble kicks in and I go out and try hard. Also, when I like to pretend I…

CSM Character Animation Showcase part 1
CSM HIGHLIGHT 2025 I have few rewards writing reviews. I always have tried to focus on the short films and independent features. A colleague of mine from my days at ‘The Sherlock Holmes Museum’ was kind enough to invite me and in the conversations in the industry about A.I I think it’s safe to say…

I have some tenuous mutals on our feeds who I have not spoken to directly for years, but I have no personal acquaintance with him.…
