Tomorrow is a National shutdown and there are bound to be protests. I didn't have time to get this printed, but if I were to bring a sign, it would be this.
Fuck ICE.
End them.

This hasn't been making the rounds much, but if you can, don't work or shop on Friday:

Minneapolis did this not long ago at a local level, which is where all the massive protest footage you saw, was from. Doing it country wide is the next important step.
Twin Cities Workers Strike Against ICE. Two Hundred Cities Follow!! As workers in two hundred and fifteen cities prepare to walk out today in solidarity with Minneapolis, the whole world is watching.

Hey Internet! I and a handful of others were laid off today, so I'll be looking for whatever animation work exists out there. I've got 20+ years of experience, so hit me up if you need that on your teams!

Also other people were impacted. Can provide many roles!
Magfest approaches again, here is what I'm up to this year:
It's gonna be a wild time!
2025 was quite a year for me- But despite it all I was viciously productive- to the point of overkill.
A day job in animation that has become *extremely* unfulfilling for a variety of reasons, and between that, Trump's nonsense, and AI all over, I constantly threw myself at projects. What a year!

Speed Freeks is actually adding a create your own track mode to the game and it is incredible how good it is. These devs did this as a pure labor of love for the people who supported it, and it could use a LOT more support! if ever you were curious check this out.
IP companies raged for decades that even the idea of uploading something you don't own- even if you don't profit in any way, is illegal and punishable to the extreme.
But throwing it into a machine to spit out even infinite things other people can profit from infinitely? Nothing wrong with that!
Was a great privilege for me to be a part of a chip album that is trying to make the world a better place.
I wanted to go very differently for this one, but one of the heavy influences was Studio Trigger's stuff. High energy vibrancy against the darkness.
@dompalombimusic.bsky.social 's PAX West set is now online:

Was a great weekend!
There are some serious deep cuts in this set, like the Pokemon Trading Card game for the gameboy. I'm pretty sure that one has never been played live by anyone!
I made this for the first No Kings rally
So now is a good a time as any to post it again.
If you're in America, show up to make a statement.
Unbelievably good, congratulations to you and the whole team! And THANK you for giving us this masterpiece.

Caveat on my end: I still won't touch it, but I am FORCED to interact with everyone who do. I've been trying to experiment with how much I can tolerate that and so far the answer is.. Not much.
Anytime I work with people who also refuse to use it, it's a breath of fresh air.

Enjoy it man!
I don't have time to play yet but it's absolutely on the list! Great work to you and everyone else!
