Convincing you to read our comic with just the opening sentence.

CAMERA MAN #1:

A shadowy figure stands on stage in front of an audience. Behind them, a bright magenta screen with the Immortal Studios logo. The figure says, "I'm not one to mince words, so let me speak frankly... Cinema is dying."

You know, the way Wells felt the fur was far less awkward than how they wanted us to. I look like I'm checking for a pulse. Still no regrets. 🤣

Sorry not sorry for this brag:
Did I mention I got to hang out with sea otters this morning?

My partner sent me this photo of our dog, and I needed to share this with you.

Image from Radiant Black #22 backup of a man trying to rent WILD THINGS as the cashier, Marshall, ignores him and chats with a co-worker. From Camera Man #1 showing the hero taking on the giant monster made of light. From Fourthmeal showing the protagonists accepting the call to adventure from a humanoid taco and burrito. From FINAL ROUND showing the two fighters facing off. This page recaps the fight up until now where one fighter overwhelms the other.

I haven't baseball'd in a minute, but I forgot how fun going to a game is. I didn't follow the game at all, but I had a good time with @agenteli.bsky.social.

Lucas is amazing, and you should hire him! Here's a sample from the comic we worked on together...

I'm sorry, what?
Excerpt from article: “We believe that in the near future half the people on the planet will be AI, and we are the company that’s bringing those people to life,” said CEO Jeanine Wright, who was previously chief operating officer of podcasting company Wondery, which has recently had to reorganize under the changing podcast landscape.

Some days start with you going in the wrong direction and end exactly where you want and need to be.

Grateful to be here. ❤️

My favorite of his spreads were the collage ones. I'm always in awe of how he could make a spread feel alive. In terms of my favorite of his non-collage spreads, I believe his mind must have truly traveled to another world with his 2001 adaptation.
A spread depicting the death of Apokolips as a giant collage of a volcanic planet of skull and rock explodes. Superman and friends travel through a greyscale collage dimension in awe and wonder. A double page spread from Kirby's 2001 adaptation showing a pod traveling through an emerging cosmos. The pod travels along a planets surface. Crackling light welcomes the traveler.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy.

(Only real ones in Chicago know.)
An image on a perfectly cloudfree day with a yellow sign that reads "REDHOT RANCH" with a Chicago-style hot dog in a bed of fries and underneath it, "FRESH CUT FRIES". Along with a Vienna Beef brand logo and a large arrow in lightbulbs that points own toward the building, which is off-image.

I decided to hit up FanExpo Chicago today only. I will be walking around Artist Alley, so if you see me walking around aimlessly, say hello!

I'm watching @abreen.bsky.social play arcade Crazy Taxi, and the thought just occurred to me...

How has there never been a Crazy Taxi anime? I would watch the hell out of that.

Sometimes it helps to remember who you are doing all of this for.

I do this for the kid who loved stories and loved living in his imagination.

Page from Camera Man #1 that depicts a 7-year-old version of the hero, Cameron Maddox, is emotionally invested in the movie on the screen in front of him as he sits in a movie theater seat and enjoys a bucket of popcorn. Cameron became a filmmaker for this kid. The text at the bottom reads, "...Remember who this is for..." An image of myself in the kitchen when I was maybe 4 years old dressed as Batman. My arms spread out.
