This workshop will initiate with people from Mexico, Latin America and Europe to strengthen the ties of stop motion and collaboration and, in exchange, education will be provided for free for one Mexican / Latinamerican student for the first ten years also.

Guillermo del Toro, Netflix, and Gobelins have teamed to open a stop-motion studio in Paris. The endeavor shares a kindred spirit with Mexico's El Taller del Chucho, also co-founded by del Toro, and will honor stop-motion legend Mark Gustafson.

Perfect Blue 4K UHD is $79, in this economy ?! 😭 Don't get me wrong, I love that there's a 4K release but all I need is just a good print of the movie and not the bells & whistles. 😭

A stunning painting of the AKIRA SOL laser by Ohrai Noriyoshi, as collected in the catalog art book for his 2018 exhibition held in Ueno. Sadly it is not widely available. I found this mint new copy languishing in a BookOff store and snagged it ofc. My review coming soon.

This new edition of Steamboy Storyboards Vol 1 ( Otomo Complete Works ) is a most splendid showcase of the incredibly detailed storyboard drawings by the AKIRA director and a worthy upgrade from the older 2004 edition. Very highly recommended - halcyonrealms.com/books/steamb...

This review will likely only interest a dozen or so people on the whole planet who watched Chloe Zhao's Eternals and actually enjoyed it; I found the #vfx, costume designs and overall art direction to be really splendid. Explore more in my review - halcyonrealms.com/books/eterna...
