I think she came out lovely 😊 3 more illustrations to go! Pre-orders for the Lynch calendar still going strong: www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

I just want to shout out this spider baby I transplanted a few months ago who promptly shot up and gave an impressive hairstyle to this skull mug I found on the street 💀

“Alex are you cleaning your apartment today like you told yourself you would?” Me, resolutely:

I know we’re all in Horror Mode (I always am!) but this is a heads up for Boston-area noir fans that I’ll be hosting discussions at @thecoolidge.bsky.social for their noir series celebrating Gloria Grahame! Join me Tuesday nights in November, we’ll have a good time! coolidge.org/programs/noi...

I stg I’m usually so on top of shit at my main theater job but somehow at my secondary theater job where I often have way less to worry about, I’m more likely to make dumb fuckin mistakes. It’s embarrassing! I have to keep reassuring everyone actually I do know what I’m doing despite appearances

Because I’m very Extra I did make art for my horrorthon today haha

Lotte Reiniger's director cameo in CINDERELLA showcasing her meticulous cut paper silhouette animation technique.

“the president is less popular than the Vietnam war” should be a simply irresistible headline

Shout out to my fellow market vendors who all understand my extreme excitement about being able to drive myself to the market with my own car and were patient with me making pointed references to “MY CAR!!” all day lol

Solidarity to everyone marching today! I’ll be vending with a bunch of weirdo artists and vintage sellers at the Crystal Ballroom in Somerville if you’d like to support some local indie folks after rallying ✊

Why is drawing feathers so satisfying

I feel like it should go without saying but not everyone lives a life where ‘ai’ as currently pushed performs a function. Not everyone codes, folks. Not everyone’s livelihood depends on interfacing with a computer. Wild, I know

the automatic bsky mod label thing is constantly coming for my art thread account, it's so frustrating. this isn't "explicitly sexual"? there's a side view of a butt that's the same amount of nudity you'd see if he was wearing a thong, like jfc calm the down and stop censoring fine art this is 2025

Angela Lansbury in THE COMPANY OF WOLVES (1984) She was BOTD in 1925

Hit 200 on one of my personal fave lb lists, just in time for The Season boxd.it/8Os28

New in @cambridgeday.com! This week, catch Hal Hartley’s Long Island trilogy at @brattletheatre.bsky.social, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS on 70mm at the Somerville, a Truffaut/Kiarostami double feature at the HFA, and screenings of SINNERS, THE FOG, and MAD MONSTER PARTY!

HBD Angela Lansbury who has brought much joy into my life since I dove into Murder, She Wrote a few years ago, and of course her entire career was just stunning

Running Simple Men on film tonight really hit me again with that Bill Sage crush I felt so strongly in college….. he is, simply, just a boy 🥹

The greatest impromptu dance scene of the 90s and @brattletheatre.bsky.social’s got it on film! Simple Men screens again tomorrow at 815 and that is your last chance to catch this very excellent rarity 🎞️

Posts about people returning to their homes are designed to elicit a sense of conclusion, of normality, that simply does not exist when Israel dropped the equivalent of multiple nuclear weapons on an area the size of Seattle.

I think what's bothering me about all these statements I'm seeing from politicians that are variations of "Israeli hostages and Palestinians are returning to their homes, yay" is that Israelis are returning to their homes and Palestinians are returning to uninhabitable post apocalyptic rubble.

TONIGHT

Tomorrow and Thursday are big days for me because @brattletheatre.bsky.social is playing 3 of my fave films by one of my all-time fave (and sorely under-appreciated!) filmmakers and I get to run a gorgeous, brand new 35mm print of my very very fave: that’s right I’m talking Hal Hartley’s TRUST 🎞️

Alright I am two-thirds done with the illustrations for my 2026 David Lynch tribute calendar! I will hopefully remain on track and be able to send to print in early November. FYI pre-orders really help me gauge how many to print, and cover up-front costs! www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

New job idea: RMV/DMV DJ - playing music to spread good vibes to all the people waiting at and working at the RMV and also making the waitlist announcements. If you’ve been waiting over an hour you get to make a song request. Maybe they do a talk show-style interview if you’ve been waiting over 2

RIP Drew Struzan. Not just a movie poster artist but a man capable of putting lightning in a bottle, and of taking the form of cinema and encapsulating its spirit in still imagery. The best that will ever do it. Here are 4 of my favorites:

Driving my new hand-me-down car several hours at night in heavy rain and frequent stretches of highway construction was a badddd experience last night but today I face my greatest trial: The RMV

Been stuck on a long early morning train ride next to a very much grown woman (my age or a little older) reading harry fucking potter in the year of our lord 2025 who also has a slight cough but isn’t masking AM I GRUMPY?? A BIT!

I’m 50 movies in to 2025 (I’ll do a lot of catch up in Dec and Jan), here are my faves so far verrrrry loosely ranked with the first ten being in the top 🎬

Woven textiles by Diné artist Melissa Cody, 2010s-20s, whose imagery combines Indigenous motifs, pop culture iconography, and personal experiences.

Posters by Japanese designer Koichi Sato, 1970s-90s.

OK IT'S HAPPENING! Announcing my 2026 wall calendar, featuring new original illustrations celebrating the works of David Lynch, much missed and forever an inspiration. PRE-ORDERS start today as the art is still in-progress, I expect to print and ship in November! www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

busy busy busy every fucking day but in the middle of a hundred tasks I get to see the new Reichardt tonight 🥲

I forgot to note in this that I will be moderating a Q&A with Mary Bronstein after the Chicago International Film Festival screening of her film IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU this coming Thursday, October 16th at 8pm. Tickets are standby only:

Gillian Armstrong’s Mrs Soffel is on kanopy btw and it’s a really interesting historical romance inspired by a true story and Keaton is great in it

"She is the dream actress that every director should have." —Gillian Armstrong Rest in peace to the great Diane Keaton, fearless and unique, a dream actress indeed. 📷 Norman Seeff, Los Angeles, 1975

Ok it's finally time! My new Rocky Horror playing card illustration series is up for sale! You can get all 6 as 5x7" prints in a set, or individual character prints, each 8x10" www.etsy.com/listing/4345...

Vending at a halloweeny market today so I broke out the nsfw Suspiria shirt 💀

As her psychological dramedy If I Had Legs I’d Kick You hits theaters from A24 writer-director Mary Bronstein chats with Marya E. Gates about embracing chaos, rejecting comfort and the resilience of rodents (specifically, hamsters). boxd.it/2Lw

FACES OF UNIVERSAL HORROR so far… Not sure if I’m gonna make it the full 31 days (deadlines and all that) but I’ll give it my best shot.

the Free Range Garden Artists put this manifesto up all over the bike path it has a shout out to me and @alexxkittle.bsky.social , but is otherwise a good read :) #SomervilleMA #JunkArt #PublicArt

I see this poster regularly in the booth (honorably guarding the huge mirror we pull out for 16mm screenings) and today when I run a (pristine!) 35mm print of The Shadow for the @brattletheatre.bsky.social film matinee I will FINALLY learn what evil lurks in the hearts of men! Big day!
