STEAMPUNK HOLLOW
Hadn’t done a proper pen and ink piece in awhile, and it’s made my mouth water for more.
I don’t really post much anymore, but I was happy how this pen and ink turned out.

A Steven Soderbergh Star Wars film would have been amazing. Again, Disney fails.
Steven Soderbergh reveals that ‘THE HUNT FOR BEN SOLO’ was the first time Lucasfilm had a finished script that got rejected by Disney.
“I asked Kathy Kennedy if LFL had ever turned in a finished script for greenlight to Disney & had it rejected. She said no, this was a first.”

#scbwiArtober2025 Day 5: Eyes
My apologies if it’s a bit too freaky. I’ve been dwelling on the idea of eyes being windows to the soul. While working, it also brought to mind Junji Ito’s work, not that my stuff even compares.

On Wednesday, my bud, @karammitchell.com, graciously drove us to LITTLE ROCK (5 hours away!) to see and hear from the incredible John Hendrix! His awe-striking exhibit and keynote was precisely what I needed to reenergize my creative side.
