Thrilled to share my pal Rafael Ruiz's excellent series on Wine, Wine Makers and what makes them Beautiful & truly Unique. Take a moment and have a sip with Raf & Gang in Two Glasses In, Season Two. The Sequel with no equal! www.tiktok.com/@twoglassesi...

When you get home after sketching, reach into your bag and get that feeling... that sinking knowledge that you lost your favorite pencil... "I lost a Sai!!"

Happy happy Valentine’s (valentimes) Day! Love you all! Made a mighty meal for the wife and I; watched The Princess Bride (1000th time) at home and quoted every line to each other. That level of nerdy romance, INCONCEIVABLE! ❤️ Love ya wifey

Sketching again, finding that familiar space on an old face.

Giving my mind the time to shine and reflect a bit before we get the day going. Reading Film/TV Directors Field Manual. Truly loving Rob Spera’s perspective on the process and it fits in a pocket! Crack’s knuckles, back to boarding out some fun frames!

Lunch time Logan sketch! Snikt!

So many marvelous trailers lately! That new Captain America spot got me pumped for the next film! Sharing some of our designs for Captain America and gang from Marvel World of Heroes! www.imransheikhillustration.com passcode is 34erdf (no caps)

Excelsior!!! Wow that new Fantastic Four trailer was tops!! Can't wait to see Marvel's First Family on the big screen again. I worked on the previous FF Film (Fan4stic) which was a blast. Reposting some speculative FF Concepts & Studies done before my time on Marvel Strikeforce. Cheers gang!!

Caught the Katsuya Terada show at Giant Robot 2 this weekend, incredibly inspiring artwork!

In & Out pen Hitting the light like Excalibur!

Exciting Opportunities at new Studio, Gravity Well! I applied for the Concept position, wishing you and also myself some luck out there!

Trip to the local comic shop @pfbvan.bsky.social for the new Illustrators issue 45, featuring the amazing artwork of Glenn Fabry and Glen Obrik! Art from the golden age of comic & pulp covers.

Short walk to @cinefilevideo for some classics! What are you watching this weekend?

G'morning gang! Sharing some warm up doodles & leaving a little room for zoom as I get ready for an exciting storyboarding project. What's your dream ride? This one is on my Pantheon alongside the '77 Stingray T-Top, that Corvette is the thing of dreams.

Blast from the past, The Saboteur out there Smashing some N*zi's. Tah Bucko, all the best.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulch... Big thanks to @body_and_soil (Gregor) for getting me hip to Polyphia! Amazing to see such a young, confident virtuoso that is also an excellent teacher. Cheers friends and let it rip!

My wife's excellent David Lynch tote bag from Cinefile in Santa Monica. Treasured bag that has carried many a film home from the spot. Which was your favorite film?

Excellent interview with icons on icons. What a pleasure to listen in! www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLre...

Coffee time!! What’s your go to brew? I’m a daily hot coffee over lots ice and a little sugar free cream cold foamed at home. I still wake up with animal crossing pals on my mind, fun to start the day on Hemingwave island.

DUNE.

Rest in peace David Lynch, see you in the pictures.

Perfect film. Rest in peace David Lynch. Gone too soon.

Suplex Slam from the Top Ropes!! Posing my wrasslers in Nomad & experimenting with in scene FX with my renders. Thanks for taking a look my Wednesday Warriors!

Enjoyed taking a moment to puzzle out a simple "rig" for my wrasslers using Nomad Sculp on the iPad. Using old fashioned hierarchy I got pretty far! Big thanks to the Dave Reed Tutorials @drugfreedave.bsky.social Coming together from the top ropes! www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-z5...

vimeo.com/groups/100/v... Hayao Miyazaki's early work is a whole vibe, transporting myself here with On Your Mark -Chage & Aska (1995) on loop. What is your favorite hidden gem? BTW & as legend tells the tale; this his how Master Miyazaki worked through a writers block on Princess Mononoke.

An excellent discussion with the creator of Patreon Jack Conte on the current “atomization” of social media, pointing out how we moved from a curated followers mode to a more interest based economy online. Fascinating & insightful. youtu.be/yHTT0sg3Teg?...

Every spice is extra nice when ya make it twice! My old friends Turmeric and Ginger, the anti inflammatory twins in full effect for this evening meal. My question, what is the feel good stew for you? This is Pakistani Koftha unda & aloo, roti. Gluten free, homemade rotis.

This show is a revelation of animation! So many smart takes and I love how the show runners are shaping the characters with camera work, killer vibe and so much to learn from. Give it a watch, it has my seal of approval lol. Cheers gang!

This is another excellent deep dive into what the cards hold by Polygon!

A great look back at one of my favorite Sci-fi series, BSG you still look marvelous! www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Gb... Who was your favorite character and did you have a favorite episode? I'm partial to Gaius Baltar and feel 33 minutes is a perfect episode. So say we all!

I love games and my Steam Deck is always at the ready to show me amazing stories, exceptional narrative gameplay and exciting mechanics. Below are my Steam Replay for 2024, what was your gaming and film year like? s.team/y24/cmcqjdt?...

RTO policies are hard to manage well. Without a clear conversation and set of goals with your talented staff it is seen as a lack of trust that poisons what good the place had to begin with. Managers, look to wisdom and don't follow trends. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ec_...

New Cody Showdy makes the point better than I ever could. I’m for human made artwork, give no ground to those who tell you how to use your voice.

What's your favorite from Master Miyazaki and the talented team at Studio Ghibli? My go-to is Nausicaa and the valley of the wind, it's so epic and the heroes super power is compassion!

My sweetheart and our dvd collection. That shelf is pushed to the limit lol.

Matta Hari

Nosferatu was fun!

Amazing cartoon!

Sorry to be blunt, but it’s the weekend and time to take a much needed commercial break and cool out with old friends. Cheers gang!
