📽️🩸 BFI's new 4K of Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre apparently uses heavy AI, which is terrible, disappointing, & infuriating news.

I’ve got an original graphic novel out on Wednesday, 9/23—KID MAROON from @thevaultcomics.bsky.social.

It’s a love letter to golden age comics, and it’s a thrill ride about thwarted childhood, finding love, doing what’s right when times are bad.

@victorsantos.bsky.social’s art is a stunner.
