Playstation and Xbox do a Spotify-style year end wrap up of one's video game activity.   I'm fascinated by this and recorded these stats and made it into a short video.   How much time did you spend on your console or cell phone playing games this year? This was fun to put together.  I clearly spent more time playing Xbox.   But I loved Until Dawn on the Playstation. Check out the full video below.

  Here, I'm sitting in my studio apartment in New Jersey.  Drawing on the iPad.   Using the Apple Pencil (1st gen) and an iPad Mini.  Tracing the photo is much easier than drawing things from scratch.  A great technique to use when drawing people in situations.  Take pictures!

  Reggaefest.    I've attended many Reggaefest parties, including a couple of Yacth Fetes and 2022's Blaze party by South Street Seaport. Epic League and CJ Milan have taken this party on the road with stops in Washington DC, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Boston, and Toronto. I believe in this brand and can see a future where it goes to Latin America and Europe—potentially even a multi-day cruise. My favorite thing about the party is the format. The party is called Reggaefest, and they mostly play Dancehall. There's also Soca, Afrobeats, a little Reggaeton, and Ampiano as of this year. They played Hip-Hop in the early ReggaeFest days(a few years ago), but I prefer they don't. Many other parties call themselves Reggae this and Reggae that, but they play close to an hour of hip-hop—false advertising on their part. I also love that there are hardly any performances. Great DJs and great music keep us dancing all night long. Having attended this party for some time and spending my h...

What more is there to say about Joel that hasn't been said in these beautiful posts on social media?    My dancehall mentors, Dancin' Squad and Skerrit Bwoy, introduced me to you almost 20 years ago; I think the first time was Nasty Tuesdays at the Elite Ark. You, Mitty, and the dancers that followed you were Brooklyn Dancehall to me.    I loved how you played and would follow you for years.  That would span the boroughs-Bronx, Long Island, Manhattan, and Queens.   I think even Connecticut and New Jersey.   Didn't we all take a road trip to Baltimore or DC?   I forget.   You were a very pro-dancer DJ, especially for the ladies. You would shout me out while dancing at parties where I had no business being alongside some of the most talented people I'd ever seen on the dancefloor. I haven't been to a party you played for some time now, and many of us knew of your health issues. No more suffering; I'll see you down the road at the All White part...

  Self Portrait 2023, drawn/traced by me. I used an Apple Pencil(1st Gen), Ipad Mini and the  Procreate  app. Time Lapse video of me putting this together.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is Sony Picture Animation's biggest financial success to date. Spider-Verse 2 has almost doubled the global box office of the initial Oscar-winning film.    Movie pundits say 2018's Into the Spider-Verse run on Netflix helped this unique take on the Spider-Man story, grow a large cult following leading to this current film's winning box office. Vulture.com interviewed 4 of the animators who worked on this sequel and said it was a demanding production—working upwards of 11-hour days, up to 100 artists quitting throughout, and having to start from scratch five times due to pandemic-related starts/stops and editorial issues with Phil Lord. My thoughts; it was my favorite theatrical release of June 2023, over several other notable franchises, including Transformers, The Flash, and Indiana Jones.   It made me yearn for more big-budget, superhero, animated films. Visually I noticed it more in this movie than in the first; the mixing of th...

  I've also used the Runway website to make this image. This is the original image I took on a bus ride to work-June 2023. I've seen and enjoyed these wild, artistic filters on Instagram and Tik Tok videos and wondered how they were created.   Once you like a post on these social media platforms, they feed you more of the same.   These apps were advertised to me, saying how A.I. turns regular images and video into art. I Googled which were the best A.I.-Art apps, programs, and websites.    I've had an excellent experience using sites instead of apps for graphics work, object removal from images, and green screen video.   I've done all that successfully through Canva.   So I gravitated toward the website recommendation of Runway .   A 4-second A.I. generated video here is free.   You have to pay for longer.   There is a credit and subscription system where you can get upwards of 15-second videos.    I subscribed to the monthly $...

  YouTube version After watching and enjoying the Super Mario Bros Movie( here's my review ), I was motivated to buy a Nintendo Switch. Reliving the nostalgia while watching the film, I wanted to experience the latest generation of Mario Brothers games. Come to find out, most, if not all, of Nintendo's first-party games are still selling at a premium price on the digital store (I prefer digital over cartridges).    In this video game console cycle, the Switch has sold 125+ million units compared to Playstation 5's 38+ million and Xbox Series X/S' 18+ million units.   Granted, the latter two consoles were released three years later, in 2020. Nintendo's Online service has older games(NES, SNES, Gameboy, Sega Master System, etc.) and no Switch games.   The movie has crossed 1.2 billion dollars worldwide and is the first billion-dollar film of 2023. In addition, it is the most money-making video game picture to date.   As of this writing, Super Mario Bros is no...

Check out this episode! YouTube version (There is an affiliate link in this article). I've been a long-time Evil Dead fan, having seen all the films and even reading some of the Dynamite comics . Ash Vs. Evil Dead TV series is my current favorite overall. Evil Dead Rise is the latest in the franchise. Released in theaters on April 21, 2023(here in the U.S.), and to date, it has been the best performing of the series(box office-wise).   As of this writing, the movie has made over $132 million in the global box office.   Excellent for a picture made on a reported 20 million dollar budget and was supposed to go on streaming. I had a great time watching this at my local AMC here in North Jersey.   The homages to past films, the modern setting in a residential building.   The revelation of there being three Necronomicon books.   The teens become deadites, whereas, in past films, it was always adults.   Alyssa Sutherland from the History Channel's Vikings show wa...
