Closing Thoughts
With new movies from @SrPelo, @JamesLee, @HappyHarry, @scumhouse and @DonkTK, we had some real heavy hitters in March! We were also hit hard by the passing of Akira Toriyama, a huge inspiration to many artists on the site. Toriyama was 68 and still had new projects in the works, a good reminder that you’re never too old to be making cool stuff. None of us know how much time we have left, we can only hope to make the most of that time!
In happier news, a bunch of us crossed paths at PAX Boston in March, where I was at the Behemoth booth showcasing Alien Hominid Invasion and the Alien Hominid HD re-release, as well as Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater! This was my first time at PAX since pre-Covid and it was good to be back. Maybe even more of us can meet there next year! In the meantime, there are other meetups in the months ahead.
