my father #DærickGrössSr painted the comic book mini series in the early 1990s for Innovation. he was such a huge fan of this movie, it was a highlight for him to work on it and embellish the world a bit...

thanks for posting about this classic movie!
cover of issue #1 of the Forbidden Planet comic series from Innovation in the early 1990s, a near-verbatim recreation of the classic movie poster with Robbie the Robot carrying Altaira in its/his arms. art by Dærick Gröss Sr. panel from the comic mini series Forbidden Planet based on the movie. this panel is a closeup of Dr Morbius as he holds his hands to his head, raging at the realization that the monsters are an extension of his own id. his voice balloons read: "kill me! kill me! i am guilty and now my punishment is that i cannot even save my own child! my evil self is at that door, and i have no power to stop it!" art by Dærick Gröss Sr.

getting more bots to block again...

#WithNotKids
screen grab of the bluesky fake account for @lucyjackson098765.bsky.app. typical for these accounts, the banner and profile image are of a pretty young white woman. no followers, no posts, and the following account description: "Single and never been married With not kids" image shared both to call out the fake account to block, and to mock the phrase "with not kids".

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.
original painting for the cover of Queen Of The Damned for Innovation Comics by Dærick Gröss Sr. in the foreground is the vampire queen Akasha looking out at the viewer stern and cold. behind her is a large profile of her husband Enkil, skin clear and emaciated, tormented. overlayed is the character Marius as he is being buried as the side of the image crashes down around him.

every accusation is a confession...

#FuckYouMiller
image of a post from Acyn's Twitter post with a pic of stephen miller on fox news blathering about Robert De Niro. above the pic is the text of miller's quote. miller: Robert De Niro is a sad, broken old man who is mostly enraged because he hasn't made anything worth watching in at least 30 years. probably the longest string of flops, failures, embarrassments. this man had been degrading himself on camera with one horrific film after another for my entire adult life and he is not taken seriously by anybody. not by his family, friends, community. he is a shell of a man and everybody disregards everything he says." this image was posted by Dærick Gröss on his Bluesky account with the post "every accusation is a confession..." and the tag #FuckYouMiller because, fuck you, Miller. go fuck right off.

every now and again i check out clearsky for funsies and while i have in the past written this one list off, i have to admit i am both fascinated and somewhat annoyed by this particular list someone put me on.

i honestly can't tell if this is a troll list or if someone actually sees me this way...
snippet of a clearsky report page for daerickgross.com as of 15 October, 2025. it is an image of his bluesky account header and a view from the "LISTS ON" tab; specifically one list titled "fascists". bsky account egality.bsky.social added the daerickgross.com account to a list of perceived fascists on 9 March, 2025. the list currently has 1,302 accounts associated with it and the list's description reads: "This is a list of fascists. Either they use fascist rhetoric directly , or they engage in more subtle forms." the post this image was originally added to is sharing it as a point of confusion as to why the daerickgross.com account was added, seeing it as odd and somewhat funny to have been included, as it is dissonant with the actual content of that bluesky account.

every time i see or hear Stephen Miller, i think "this has to be the singular most revolting, despicable man walking the planet today.

every time, a new lie and manipulation, and every time he outdoes himself over the previous one.
one-panel promo for the satire cartoon series Trumpy, with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, and the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net". image depicts a lampoon of Stephen Miller standing with his arms folded in a completely blank white panel. In large letters above him is the tagline "A satire series about America's worst decision". There is a dialogue balloon from Miller saying "I'm not a racist white nationalist. I just want all immigrants and brown people to be cruelly treated, terrorized, and deported without due process."

hey pop... spending some time with an old project of yours in an effort to pitch it and bring it back to life again. this one isn't for Studio G, it would be Marvelous to win a green light on it

it's good to see your work and read your handwritten liner notes. i feel like you're here with me.
art snippet from a 1990s comic project by Dærick Gröss Sr for Marvel. this image was posted intentionally vague, so the specific project this was for isn't being mentioned. the scene is a young woman, somewhat resembling Lara Croft as was wont in the 1990s, in a Mesoamerican pyramid uncovering a large gemstone. behind her down the hall are several statues of warriors with spears raised menacingly. she stares at the gem as it glows with some form of power.

doctor i trust more that RFK Jr

"you understand the nerves were completely severed, Mr. Napier... you see what i have to work with here..."
image with three screenshots from Batman '89, the scene where Jack Napier is at the run-down back-alley clinic of Doctor Davis, getting fixed up after falling into the vat of chemicals in the prior scene. Dr. Davis stands in the center of the first image, dimly lit while Napier sits in the dark, back to us (we cannot see yet he is becoming Joker). the second image is a closeup of Dr. Davis, nervous as Napier is seeing himself in the mirror and seems volatile and agitated. the third image is Dr. Davis' hand showing a table of bloody implements, explaining what crude tools he has to work with.

animated gif of a cartoon rock band doing a rhythmic stepping motion while playing guitars and a keytar. this is explicitly based off of Oingo Boingo and the cartoons represent Steve Bartek, Danny Elfman, and John Avila as they do their iconic step routine during Dead Man's Party performances.

this is my MaMaw. she is not blood but is as much my mother as my own. in my actions, i ask myself if she would be proud of what i am doing or saying.

she is not the reason i advocate for equity, inclusion, and justice; she is a bar that helps me see that i am succeeding n that.
photo of an elegant matron in regal, thoughtful repose. an elderly woman of colo sitting in an armchair, seen from the side. she sits pensively looking forwarf, hands folded under her chin. she wears a green sweater, sitting in a black leather chair. the background behind her is a wall with a large window, with the blinds drawn down. a small table is next to her with a drink and and a fancy lamp that is the light source in the photo.

Dærick Gröss' mug from his days at Hulu, a black coffee mug with the "hulu" logo in green showing in the photo. it rests on a wooden window sill on a sunny day looking out to a yard full of trees in southern Washington state. goodbye Hulu. you were truly something special.

apologies that i am behind quota on cleavage and cat pics. please accept this cat with cleavage as my tithe...
image of a black and white cat sitting on the carpet with arms folded underneath facing the viewer. the position creates the implication the cat has a human bosom with cleavage and is shared as a humorous meme.

what movie did you see at way too young of an age?

me: night of the living dead, at around 7 or so
black and white image from George Ramero's original Night Of The Living Dead, closeup of a blonde girl with darkened eyes staring at the viewer, in the background is a tree and some grass. this is an intense stare, evoking fear and dread as the viewer realizes this is an undead creature approaching them.
