Countdown

Sketchbook stuff . If I’m not teaching or working on my graphic novel I’m either living in the waking nightmare of our collective future or drawing these

New review from @fourcolorryan.bsky.social

So excited to read this @joshbayercomics.bsky.social @dominocomics.bsky.social

Last sessions teaching at 92y after 17 years. I’ve taught hundreds of people there and use to teach 6 times a week , it’s gotten to be maybe one responsibility too many so I’ve asked them to take me off schedule. Always weird to leave a place

Live reading sat #altcomics

Twin infinitives

Sketchbook image I forgot I made

Some of the things I do

Watched “corvette summer” last night, I loved this movie as a little kid. Cinematography much better than any movie being made at this level now would be. Mark Hammil’s Hair is amazing (- so many of these movies the hair looks like a wig ) as his androgynous overall beauty and look at Annie Potts!

Last few films - I saw hunt the Wilderpeople last night and it’s like Rushmore if it was done by the creator of What we do in the Shadows. Woman of the hour: initially snapped it off after ten minutes as a Netflix half ass true crime cash grab - it’s much better than that and I recommend it

Part 2 of movie round up - I’ve never seen Possession before and it’s a masterpiece. I’ve seen donate afternoon many times first time was on late night tv while in high school in the 80s. Very interesting rewatch in 2025 . Watched Being There as well many times over the years

I’ve been meaning to do a sort of public post of the films I watched during this break from school - have been watching stuff late at night while coloring my graphic novel or writing or doing desk work. It’ll be a multi part post and I’ll maybe describe some of the movies if I can find bandwidth

Just dropping in to say fuck AI
