Movie fanatic. Continuing a study of cinema history though one filmography at a time.
I firmly believe that movies are art. But also, not all movies need to be that way. From time to time, we need movies that don't care. Let's not get too carried away.

Got to watch Thunderbolts* last night. Loved it! A great addition to the MCU. Skilled actors delivering their best and a compelling final act. If this is the baseline for superhero movies, we're all doing alright.

Who are the premier movie critics right now? Any suggestions? I want to read (or hear) the thoughts of insightful, passionate minds on film.

Movies are awesome. I'm wanting to start a podcast discussing filmographies. But I know little of podcasting. What tips would you share? Even if you don't, what are some things you notice that your favorite podcasts do well?

Can't play Mario Kart so I thought I'd draw it.

Really trying to focus on line quality. I tend to be a little messy with them. Colors and such to come soon.

Let's say I wanted to learn how to work with Unreal Engine. Any suggestions on where I start? #Unreal #UnrealEngine

Proud to reveal that my portfolio site has been redesigned. This is the barebones version, but I plan to make this a hobby of sorts, trying out new designs, tools, and ideas. It's my digital garden. Take a look. And then remember to take a look several months down the road.

I'm going to fill out my ArtStation account. Here's the first. An oldie but a goodie.

Creating art is a great joy. No I haven't gotten famous from it. But leaning into the creation is the whole point. What gets shown here is secondary, maybe even tertiary. Maybe it's not even the point at all

I'm looking for artist friends here on this butterfly app. Anyone have someone?

A blue Yoda in watercolor. Tried an exercise where you only use one color as a practice to study just lights and darks.

I was challenged by my kids to draw their two favorite droids in 20 minutes. Our house has been in #StarWars mode lately.

Some days I'm an artist, some days I'm a software code-slinger. On others it's a pitchman, yet others it's none of the above.

If you feel this chronic switching of career identification, how do you handle it?

Here's the drawing I did this morning to commemorate the Eagles win. It had more contrast on my other screen, wish I would have made the sky a little darker but oh well
