Since I can now make threads on Bsky, I'm inaugurating this new feature right away. 🤟

Concept illustrator George Hull: "Tani Kunitake is the artist that originally defined the look of the Matrix ships and he deserves tremendous credit for his originality."

Kunitake: "I came up with the external push pull engine system as it was described as a hovercraft." 3/25
