The Cadaver’s Tale~ Some concept designs I did for the animated cadaver & props/keyframe from @realgdt.bsky.social incredible FRANKENSTEIN! Also collaborating with Mike Hill who sculpted and made the puppet (and puppeteered it to life) with the final screen performance digitally augmented by MRXFX!

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

ICYMI: The Shadow of the Golden Crane hardcover collection is available now: bit.ly/3HogT6g A mysterious B.P.R.D. case in the 1960s forces Agent Sue Xiang to dive into the history of the secretive Golden Crane Society! By @mikemignola.bsky.social, @chrisroberson.net, @oeming.bsky.social, and team.

Dave Cockrum was with no hyperbole whatsoever one of the best character designers to ever work in superhero comics. His sense of style holds up today with many designs like Phoenix, Nightcrawler and Storm being all-time classics.

It was 40 years ago today (Nov 11, 1985) that Ralph Winter called from Los Angeles and left a message on the phone in my apartment in Honolulu, asking me if I'd like to work on Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. In doing so, he changed my life. Thanks, Ralph!

Collaborating with @oeming.bsky.social on Shadow of the Golden Crane was one of the most fun gigs I've had in years. We had been teasing the story of Susan Xiang and the Golden Crane Society since I first started working on Hellboy and the BPRD, and I'm really proud of how this one turned out.

In Japan, tourism to Portland, Oregon, is promoted by a grinning blue monster named Odnarodude. He’s at a Portland artisan event in Jiyugaoka De Aone this weekend.

I have now seen the first two episodes of Pluribus, and I will most definitely be checking out the third episode next week. I went in knowing exactly nothing at all about what to expect, which seems to be the ideal way to approach it. Well worth checking out.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Let’s go!!!!!

Very, very few comic book creators can survive on just the money they make from comics. It is an inherently unstable job and it is only getting worse as time goes on. Don't ever be embarrassed or ashamed of needing another job so that you can keep making comics.

The Not Really Ghostbusters - Celebrity Endorsement

My mom got me into Trek when I was a kid and most Trek fans I know/ encounter are women. And the lead of my Star Trek show was a woman, as was the captain of the ship. So shut the fuck up.

Finally had a chance to watch 28 Years Later last night, and I liked it a lot. Some truly fantastic performances from the cast, beautifully shot and edited, with real emotion and scary bits to boot. Looking forward to the follow up The Bone Temple in January.

I know what all you Blueskyers want: a 🧵 about guns! Ok, a 🧵 specifically about the cosmetic modifications done to many Western movie guns to make one model of gun look like another & the historical reasons behind those changes. If you're not into Western minutiae you might want to turn back now

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again. www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

There’s been a lot of well-deserved appreciation for Drew Struzan’s iconic theatrical art, but I’d like to also celebrate the art he did for @carolekingofficial.bsky.social’s 1973 album FANTASY. It has such a sublime warmth and personality to it, and it’s the perfect gateway to a great album.

not only does Gary Larson still have the juice, it seems to have only gotten stronger

I have NO insider info on this yet but enough ppl have been hitting me up about it that I figure it's easier to just give my read on the situation in 1 go: Humanoids has a Paris branch & a Los Angeles branch. The LA branch is closing, but Paris (while also in a French version of Ch.11) is staying.

Jordy created a website where visitors can contribute $35 to “provide an inflatable costume for a True American.™” He initially hoped to collect enough to buy a couple dozen suits. But as he put it -- “This whole thing has blown up a lot.” www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Rest in peace, Drew Struzan. His movie posters are much more than marketing. They're some of the finest pop art you'll ever see. Look at this masterpiece:

RIP to Christopher Mills — an old-school bona fide indie comics creator who did it for the love of the medium, which is the only reason to do it in the first place. He was the kind of guy who makes artist alleys worth walking, and he'll be missed.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Is life often terrible? Yes. Are there still always people out there going “Let’s make a cool ass thing for other people to see?” Also yes.

Guess who's doing the morning announcements each day at #StarfleetAcademy? #StarTrek www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh4N...

Comic books are (and this isn’t hyperbole) the greatest story telling medium that has ever existed. The combination of text and images rendered with a human hand is the most direct path from one mind to another. All other medium pale in comparison.

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2
