BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Thousands of New Yorkers march in lower Manhattan calling for ICE out of New York. Starting at Foley Square and organized by PSL, the masses have flooded the streets and are moving west. This demo is permitted but even if it wasn’t, it would be far too large for NYPD to contain.

Talked to 2 very talented artists who used to do posters, storyboards, and design work for movies. In the last year AI has replaced them and they no longer can make a living doing so. Just putting it out there, I’m not interested in any form of art generated by AI. It’s ugly and it’s just theft.

Joe Abercrombie’s The Devils comes out on Tuesday. His grimdark fantasy series The First Law is just screaming to become one of the best TV series if they ever can manage it. And now he’s tackling a new world with a horror spin. My most anticipated book this year coming out right by my birthday :)

So we were terrible at documenting the process of making The Wretched but we’re fixing that with part 2. Gonna be obnoxiously posting a lot on here about the process so apologies in advance. Some storyboarding today as we build the practical fx sequences.
