Yesterday I sent out my first email newsletter!

I’ve contributed to email blasts and I’ve sent out newsletters for day jobs in the past.

This is the first newsletter I’ve sent out that’s entirely by me. Exciting. :)

Here’s a feel-good story about Francine The Lowe’s Cat:

If you watch The Chair Company, be ready to descend into madness. You won’t be able to stop watching this show.

The day players make this show great. They are hysterical and some are legit scene stealers.

Can’t wait for season two!

“Yuki’s Revenge,” the Fortnite x Kill Bill short, is a singular experience.

I can’t think of another property that’s done a similar thing.

The Fortnite elements didn’t take me out of the story per se. It’s hard to imagine David Carradine gelling with all that. Fortnite aside, it was a fun short!

I like the premiere of Pluribus. I’m really intrigued to see how season one plays out given its premise.

It has an X-Files vibe in a refreshing way—In terms of the show’s humor esp. toward the end…not so much the sci-fi angle. The actor Seehorn’s character talks to at the end absolutely kills it!

GDT’s Frankenstein is a gift—It’s like unwrapping a Christmas gift that you already know you’re gonna love.

Here’s a timeline cleanse—An example of good SFX makeup.

If Mike Marino designed this makeup, he’d sure as fuck have an inexplicable cleft scar.

The SFX makeup designers gave Frankenstein’s monster a lip scar but they do it in the right way & they don’t punch down at a particular group.

How nice!

I have a sneaking suspicion that SFX makeup artist Mike Marino is doing the makeup for Robert Eggers’s Werwulf. I bet I’m right about it. Take a look at the set photos of Lily-Rose Depp.

It reinforces what I’ve said about The Penguin’s problematic design on The Batman.

Friendship needs to be celebrated because it lets beautifully dumb moments happen.

If you like improv, you’ll appreciate how this movie lets its performers just go for it.

I started watching The Paper. It’s charming as hell.

It isn’t trying to be The Office. It does its own thing really well.

In case you’re considering switching to Email Octopus like I am:

EO integrates with Shopify and BookFunnel. Good deal! I think they’ll be my new newsletter provider.

I’ve been testing out EO today—So far it seems like a solid alternative to Mailerlite!
I’m disappointed with Mailerlite. They dropped their free email subscriber capacity from 1000 to 500. Lame.

I’m looking into Email Octopus. Probably gonna switch to them.

More inspiration:

“We're Kinda Different,” a fantastic short by Ben Meinhardt.

So funny and charming. Great storyboarding that keeps the scale of the character in mind.

Watch it here:

If you’re looking for some inspiration, go watch this episode of Love Death + Robots:

“How Zeke Got Religion”

It’s about the crew of a WWII bomber fighting off an unholy monster.

The design work is stellar. The 2D animation is legit amazing—It’s some of the best animation I’ve seen this year.

I really enjoyed the Fantastic Four film.

Genuinely my favorite part was seeing Jack Kirby’s appearance in the movie.

It was so nice to finally see him get a nod like that in the MCU.

Noticed today both seasons of #SpectacularSpiderMan are in the top ten TV series list on the Apple TV store.

Very happy to see that! One of the best takes on Spider-Man ever.

Go see Weapons while it’s still in theaters.

Avoid spoilers. Go in blind.

It’s easily one of the best movies I’ve seen all year.

More inks from my art stream!

Here’s one of the inked panels from yesterday’s art stream. :)

For a number of reasons, I ink my backgrounds separately in Adobe Animate and import them into Photoshop.

Process Post:

Here’s a screenshot from last night’s stream.

See the numbers next to the characters?

Those are brush sizes.

I try to find the thickest line to ink the outline of each character. I’ll do a brush size or two smaller to ink the rest of the character.

I am very glad that I got to see Superman today.

I’m speechless (In a good way). It’s a phenomenal movie.

Cannot wait to see it again.

Go watch David Dastmalchian‘s talk show Grave Conversations on YouTube!

It’s fantastic!

There are cool Superman comic book displays by the registers at Sheetz in PA. You can buy bagged Superman issues—Saw at least one Teen Titans GO comic on sale in the mix.

Cool to see DC doing this!
