I appreciated the great Norm MacDonald while he was alive, but surely not enough. There was and is no one like him. Here’s a drawing I did of him many years back. I gave it to him at one of his casino gigs.

Fellow 80s TV obsessive @kennethwreid.bsky.social is perhaps the one person who will most appreciate the effort I put into my homemade APK style Leland University tee.

Sad to hear about the passing of the great Terence Stamp. Certainly shaped my understanding of on-screen villainy, and had such a rich career even beyond the Donner Superman films I love so much. With all the great Superman actors I’ve gotten to meet, I’m bummed I’ll never meet him.

Surprise! I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be an exhibitor at @torontocomics.bsky.social next weekend—June 7 & 8—at the former Maple Leaf Gardens in downtown Toronto.
This is a last-minute addition, and I couldn’t be more excited to join in. Hopefully I find the place…

Just met the amazing @lisaloeb.bsky.social thanks to my comic Waiting for Wednesday, inspired by her music. I’ve been a fan since the start, so meeting her and giving her some original art was surreal. That little book took me to France, and now to one of my fave artists. So grateful for it all.
