94. 94.A few years ago I worked on a project that was tremendous fun. A lot of talented artists were involved. It was one of those where you throw hundreds of designs into the pot and everything is great but nothing is ever followed up. Then it suddenly stopped. The people you were talking to on a weekly basis were never heard from again. Recently, many years later, I heard that the project is dead. Many of us have been there and for me this isn't the only one. Instagram, June 28, 2025, retrieved 7 July 2025^
95. 95.Gorgeous work! I worked on this project along some amazing designers at Animal Logic after this. We were on this rollercoaster of a dream project for about two years until the project got put "on hold". We were always in awe of what all you wonderful artists did for the reproduction!
