It seems there will be no white Christmas here in Vancouver for a 2nd year running; the winter for 2024 has been mostly rainy although I am surely grateful to be spared the frigid temperatures that would otherwise come with the snow. Here’s a perfunctory picture of the giant Christmas tree put up in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery every year in downtown, right across the road from Sony Imageworks where I work ( although I do mostly remote work these days ).

Thank you for so much for visiting Halcyon Realms in 2024. I’m pretty busy working on a Netflix animated film due for delivery in early spring next year, but it’s good to get a few days of rest for the holiday season to take a breather before the final push. It’s also a good time for me to work on my upcoming favorite art books of 2024 post which will be coming very soon, so stay tuned. Be sure to check out my favorite lists from previous years here as well.

I hope everyone is doing well, and I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !
