It's always confusing when I see a post from Chuck Tingle (@chucktingle.bsky.social)--who loves Love--and at first glance think it was from Chuck Schumer (@schumer.senate.gov), who loves genocide.

"Whence Come Brussels Sprouts" is more of a how-the-sausage-is-made slaughterhouse-video-type educational film than anything (albeit one with neither sausage...

@sidefx.bsky.social Houdickery: a machine that digests Cheerios. I'm aware the output far exceeds the input. That just shows how good an engineer I am.

A magazine for which I interviewed Phil Tippett, as well as Lee Moss & Brendan O'Brien (Retrospecter Films), is finally out! It's almost 200 pages of cinema weirdness by some fantastic writers. Ordering info is at wengschop.com. (This isn't my art--it's the designer's, Tony Strauss.)
A #houdinifx R&D digression. It's a completely procedural setup (subsequently textured in #zbrush). There's a longer description and wireframes with different eye counts on Instagram, but Meta is evil, but this site limits video and word counts, and all social media sucks, as does humanity.
Usually the phishers disappear after the first mention of eating children. I applauded this one's dedication to their job until my wife pointed out that it's probably a chatbot and I'm just training genAI to eat children.
The difference between the Correspondents' Dinner and Iran? Trump had an exit plan for the Correspondents' Dinner.
Many feel that Caravaggio was not silly enough and had too few squeaky sound effects. I have fixed these issues and thus fixed Art. (I recorded the moaning myself. Clearly, if anyone out there is looking for a voice actor, you should contact me.)
I fixed Art. (You're welcome, Art!) Giovanni da Milano's "Man of Sorrows" seemed a little dour and needed some sexing up. #weirdart #animation #jesus #jesusholes #handsyapostles #puttheerectioninresurrection #giovannidamilano #florence #firenze #galleriadellacademia #easter #hailsatan
Here's another Easter celebration from a year or two ago. This one is in 3D, so dig out those red/cyan glasses! #easter #jesus #comebackkid #houdinifx
An old celebration of Easter, when a zombie dude says, "My dad can beat up your dad," while bestowing magical powers to the Holy Bunny Cloaca. #easter #babyjesus #peeps #eggs #houdinifx #zbrush
In exchange for Netanyahu teaching Trump how to kill children, does Trump teach Netanyahu how to have sex with them?
I was working on my movie about how babies are made and my Prop Master/On-Set Doula spilled one. This is the last non-Union shoot of which I'll be part! #baby #fontanelcaprisun #sidefxhoudini #spill
I had some time today to whip up my first #mardini2026 entry for @sidefx.bsky.social. Today's theme: gooey.
This is the inside of my dog's upper lip. You are welcome.
I don't think Jesus suffered as much for Christianity as the people who forced themselves to watch a Kid Rock concert to prove that they are "Christians."
I was working on my movie about how babies are made and this happened. This is not part of the movie this is not how babies are made duh. #fontanelcaprisun #sidefxhoudini
This is four or five little R&D excursions rolled into a quickie project that really makes no sense, but, well, I gotta keep the artistic thirst of my threes of fans slaked, so here it is. Done in @sidefx.bsky.social #houdinifx #3d #nonsense #houdickery
Fun with the MPM solver in @sidefx.bsky.social Houdini. Sound by me, made with my mouth. #houdinifx #splat #weirdart #sexy
Get out those anaglyph 3D glasses so you can see what it's like to be inside me. I was playing with the new depth estimator from @maxonredgiant.bsky.social and the Depth Wish script by @action_movie_dad and had to test drive them on some colonoscopy pics. #colonoscopy #anaglyph #tastefulnudes
