Although I don’t have a lot of time on my hands, it’s fun to go back and rework some earlier images with new lines and colors. You might recognize a couple of these characters from earlier posts. They’re my favorite punk rock family. #PunkRock #KidLit
I haven’t shown a lot of the sketches I’ve been doing of environments recently. In this case, none of these are final art, but just a few sketches of a classroom working out where things should be in the room and considering the colors I’d like to use. #KidLit #BackToSchool
Thought this could use an update.
Do NOT be silent.
Use your voice.
Use your art.
Learn. Resist.

More #Bmovies for me. #DeadHeat is an offbeat buddy cop comedy with a helping of horror.
Spoiler: #DarrenMcGavin (the dad from a Christmas Story) blows his own head off. I mean, sheesh! Didn’t need to see that.
Despite being busy, it’s not a bad week. No time to get down in the dumps. This is punk rock time. Time to get up and go. #PunkRockTime #ComeOnNow #TheRamones
#PrisonersOfTheLostUniverse
People from our world end up in a mystical world and hijinx ensue … on a made-for-tv budget, in 1983.
What could go wrong?
#BMovieMadness
Have just discovered #SirAlecGuinness in #FatherBrown (AKA #TheDetective). It’s quite a fun, offbeat detective movie and quite different from any other I’ve seen. (Haven’t seen the 2013 TV show yet.)
In honor of the #Artemis mission to the moon, I made this quick image during lunch today. It was honestly directly inspired by #CleanElvis by #DanReeder. #VintageSci-fi #ClassicSci-fi
All the gold of heaven: Madonna & Child, with angels, 1280. By Cimabue, whose day was today.
Lovely little Madonna & Child, c. 1290, by Cimabue of Florence. He was all the rage before Giotto came along (sez Dante), & today is his day.
I was going through some older images this morning and came across this one. I always felt like something was missing so I gave her a bag. #springcleaning
#HumphreyBogart gives an incredible, nuanced performance #InaLonelyPlace It’s #filmnoir that brilliantly subverts the audience expectations. I went into this blind, which made it all the more enjoyable.
Right now, I’m working 14 hour days, 6 days a week and with the very little time I have to create, I keep coming back to this family of characters. #PunkRockGirl
Finally got around to watching #Juno it’s been on my watchlist since it came out and somehow fell through the cracks. Funny seeing Jason Bateman and Michael Sarah, in this, considering their roles in Arrested Development.
I’m sorry I didn’t watch this sooner. It was brilliant.
The gritty realism of this age of sci-fi has never been topped. Everything is rough and wet and wonderfully imperfect. #BladeRunner
#BorisKarloff and a young #JackNicholson star in this #GothicHorror. Partly directed by #FrancisFordCoppola and #RogerCorman
Not gonna lie, this is a slog and a half of a movie. It’s mostly interesting because of such great talent at such an early, rough stage in their development.
Today is the feast day of the Annunciation so let's just start right off with Simone Martini's golden Gothic masterpiece of 1333.
Happily mesmerized my son with #2001 a Space Odyssey. It’s such a wonderful experience. Whatever you think it’s going to be as you go along, it isn’t. It constantly subverts your expectations in the most fascinating ways.
Tricked my son into watching a #WesAnderson film by simply putting on #IsleofDogs. It was odd for us because he speaks Japanese and I don’t so we had different reactions as the film progressed.
#TheGiantClaw was awful. A giant muppet bird “the size of a battleship” wreaks havoc. The effects are the worst I’ve ever seen. This flick is best paired with a few friends and a LOT of alcohol. #VintageSci-Fi
With my one day off I’m binge watching tons of bad old B movies like #theBrainfromPlanetAuros. I’ve seen this once before and it’s … odd. It’s a bit like a cross between Hardy Boys adventure (Mystery Mountain!) and an issue of Strange Tales. The “creature” alone was interesting. #Vintagesci-fi
#Frankenstein’sDaughter (1958) was bad. A descendent of Dr. Frankenstein calling himself Frank is running experiments … you know what happens. The only “fun” thing was seeing #FelixLocher, who I randomly remember from an episode of #TOS.
#VintageSci-fi #NightoftheBloodBeast is an early #RogerCoreman B-movie with some surprisingly good points. It’s rough, don’t get me wrong, but it has the male pregnancy horror of Alien and a morally vague ending where you’re not quite sure who was actually right.
#VintageSci-fi The Flame Barrier 1958 is ANOTHER slog through the jungle flick in search of an alien monster with ties to satellites.
A surprise: the use of a solar panel. The first ones were invented in ‘56 and used on the Vanguard 1 satellite in ‘58. So this movie would have felt very modern.
For a 1959 B movie, the atomic submarine is pretty fun. The dialogue is awful, and the miniature effects look like toys. But for me, this is the kind of goofball story I would’ve imagined when I was a kid.
(I was into submarines.)
