Introduce yourself with 10 bands/artists you've seen live: Iron Maiden Bauhaus Colter Wall Jethro Tull Skinny Puppy Fishbone Nine Inch Nails Alice in Chains Tori Amos Nick Cave

Yesterday morning we were out of milk, so, as I'm ambling to the store, I see movement down the sidewalk & think "oh, someone's dog got loose" for a second, before I realized it was a coyote. Just cruising down the sidewalk. A couple yards from me, it gave a nod of its head & crossed the street.

This album is one of the seminal influences on my formative years, and thus... With the remastered/remixed re-release, I've been in a state of bliss for the last week as I revisit it, with all the emotional and creative power it had for me in 1984. Different Germany feels like prophecy for the US.

A PhD student at Stanford noticed her classmates were asking Al to write their breakup texts. So she ran a study. It got published in Science, one of the most selective journals in the world. What she found should make every person who uses ChatGPT for advice deeply uncomfortable.

I'm ridiculously happy about this...

A great time was had at SCAD Atlanta last week, talking to comic and sequential art students. As always, it's wonderful to see & chat with fellow editors @josephpillidge.bsky.social & @jamesbemmett.bsky.social as well as master of comic shenannigans @pqcomics.bsky.social!

Episode 2 of the new season of INDUSTRY, may be one of the best written episodes of TV I've ever watched. I want to read the script desperately. Goddamn.

Went to a listening party last night... First time hearing it on a "real" stereo system. Best album since Scarlet. Can't wait until folks get to dive in...

James is one of my favorite people in comics, and a goddamn brilliant editor, and a publisher or creative team with any sense should snap him up immediately, so the books they produce can well and truly rock. TL;DR - Fucking Hire James to Edit your Comics.

The "2026 Books" are almost completed & will be printing before the end of the month. We're already deep into production of the 2027 line of books & developing the 2028 line. And let me tell you, the world is on fire in so many ways, but I truly appreciate the good people I get to work with.

This was a LOT of fun... Check it out!

My heart... Welcome home.

Oh man... I love actual space exploration. This has the biggest lump in my throat.

That's a BEAUTIFUL chute deployment

We chat with filmmaker and comic book writer David Dastmalchian about Through, his latest graphic novel from Z2 Comics: www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/david-d...

You need a LAFF. Right? HERE!

Question to anyone who has a Lufthansa acct... Are you able to log in, or is it just something weird on my end? Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

I went to the last shuttle launch, STA-135 (Where I met @lartist.bsky.social !) and I love space exploration, so I'm so happy to see this successful launch, and I am having... As the kids say... The feels.

Great turnout for #NoKings in Burbank!

So... I can now talk about this. For the last year, I've had the pleasure of helping Mike McCready bring his rock opera FAREWELL TO SEASONS to comic form with @marksable.bsky.social & @sebastianpiriz.bsky.social (With a jaw-dropping cover by R. Kikuo Johnson) www.rollingstone.com

It gets unveiled tomorrow...

As some of you know, my assistant Boy Scout leader was a serial killer who murdered people I knew, so... For similar reasons... I find folks obsession with true crime shows and torture 'porn' VERY bothersome. Every time I think "You've never experienced anything like this, have you?"

The fine folks at FANBASE PRESS (Barbra Dillon) interviewed me about me and Roy Burdine contributing to the CALIFORNIA SCREAMING anthology... (Our story is titled KINGDOM COMING, and it's set in a private goth club) Check it out! fanbasepress.com/press/interv...

Congratulations to @paulchadwick.bsky.social on the return of CONCRETE. It's been too long, and the world of comics desperately needs this kind of magic. Thank you!

So. My partner suffered an accident that resulted in very significant injuries. While he is, thank christ, alright in the broadest sense, I am now an amateur RN/dog minder/kid chauffeur, so! I've restocked some prints to help keep us in pizza and pain meds. www.brianna-ashby.com/new-products

I was interviewed regarding my journey with Matt Wagner’s GRENDEL, and the mad idea I had in 1990 to put together a convention dedicated to the comic, that would assemble all of the creators for it in the middle of a college town in Idaho. Check it out - I talk about art & writing & ambition, etc.

1986 40 Years Ago

Andy would be 60 today.

I clean up on occasion.

The year end...

NOVEMBER 2025 - MEDIAFEED

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen: Jethro Tull My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult Colter Wall Love & Rockets Mötley Crüe

What's a movie you never tire of watching?

Congratulations to the Toronto Blue Jays on a magnificent season. It is a shame either team had to lose. And this was a gut punch. 💔💔 Classy players, fanbase, and truly one of the finest cities in the world. Future is bright with Yeasavage, Barger, and Vladdy. Now go re-sign Bo.

Great turnout in Burbank today for #NoKings very proud of my community for showing up and standing up for America and ALL the people who live here.

Civil War reenactors out there saying the protestors hate America.

I'm helping to produce an original play about the Finnish/Russian Winter War. First up is the Live Reading, which they are running a small Kickstarter for. This is a true story that is vital for the times we are in, and a little support means a lot at this critical stage.

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Over in FilmStack, there's 100 days of filmic inspiration going. @hopeforfilm.bsky.social started it, and I did day 52 today...

For the better part of a year, my dear friend @toriamos.bsky.social has been talking about this new project. It's absolutely her most ambitious project to date, so I was very proud and honored to be asked to contribute the key art for the album and tour announcement!

Got my ballot for California Prop 50... Alrighty let's fucking do this.

I've been moving my daily online time away from FB and BlueSky, over to longer form writing and interactions on Substack, where a lively indie film community is developing. This includes my monthly media consumption survey.

It does. Proven over and over. We choose to do this, to punish the sin of poverty. We pay extra for the cruelty.

Have I told you this book is great? I'm not even to chapter 10 and have gasped/sobbed aloud multiple times. Goddamn... It's really great. The last line of chapter 5? Perfection.

Offered for no reason whatsoever...

If you’re rich and not a coward, this is what you’d refer to as a “market opportunity” to dominate a media ecosystem that’s about to be covered in grotesque government slop. To be a pop of color in a sea of beige will be easier than ever. People will flock to it. You gotta be a little brave, though.
