"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

What's your take on The Monkey? I'd say that's the biggest quality whiplash I've got from two movies from the same director, but I'd be lying because I did watch The Conversation and Megalopolis on the same week

I Am Insecure About My Character(s) - Uncanny Magazine Great characters are the cornerstone of storytelling. For a story to work, the audience must bond in a meaningful way with a cast of fully realized individuals whose actions and conflicts create drama...

Let's give hiring editors an easy place to find us.

Also.

Wait, so police do in fact hire consulting gentlemen sleuths?! Unless he's actually on the force, which somehow seems even more bonkers

"Saramago started writing at 60!" Shit, I'll probably be dead by then

Way to go, @jimlee.bsky.social and DC Comics!

Hopefully more publishers follow a similar stance going forward.

The more I curate my social media experience - reducing platforms, trimming followers, switching off notifications, posting less - the more I realise that what I'm inevitably working towards is just not having any social media at all.

AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.

Very late, pero feliz cumpleaños! 🤘🏼

I cannot tell you how many parents I met across the last few events who said that comics started their kids reading. Just comics. It’s the one thing that worked. 🫡

A desaturated blue (just glancing at green from across the street), black, and yellow-orange poster. It features Miles Caton in the middle playing his guitar, shadowed faces of Michael B. Jordan on either side of him (with the Stack character sporting the orange echoed elsewhere for his gold tooth). At the bottom, in heavy shadows, is the vampire band, and behind them, silhouettes lit by flame, are line-dancing figures with glowing eyes. Their shape suggests that a few of them are characters from the movie: Mary, Pearline, Cornbread, and Bo Chow. There are credits, an R rating, and a Warner Brother's logo at the bottom and above the film's title (done in an old timey flashy saloon font that might befit a juke joint) is the text "A film by Ryan Coogler."

Worked up a poster for Sinners - that cross section of horror movies, period pieces, and roots music checks an awful lot of my boxes, and heavens but it was beautifully made.

So grateful the Yeti team took the time to help me out with an interview. The incomparable Jimmy was kind to lead me through it, even as I had some struggles with my memory.

Give it a listen and consider backing @viniciuscarreiro.bsky.social and my Kickstarter!

The hits keep coming! My wife’s in the ER for low heart rate and unexplained abdominal pain. And our new insurance doesn’t kick in until Oct 1. Here comes a wave of huge hospital bills. Anything helps. Thanks skeeters.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

If you're on LinkedIn, you'll probably want to switch this toggle to 'off'.

Welp. My family's bank account is negative. It'll be at least a month or more before my book advance arrives. If anyone wants a signed Bowie book or wants to subscribe to my movie Patreon at the $5 level, now would be a great time. Thanks!

Hey #kidlit illustrators!

We’re beginning to think through a mythology-themed beginning-reader series. I'm looking for someone w/ a commercial/punchy, character-forward style who can breath life into ancient lore.

I like to write crime stories and about superheroes. UltraMax is a fun mash up of those two spaces.

A prison drama set in a world with super powered criminals that is focusing on the struggles with dealing with wilder personalities.

Live on Kickstarter

Dibujé una historia escrita por Abraham Martínez para esta antología, que hoy arranca su fondeo. ¡Cómics!

Do you like crime stories like Criminal, That Texas Blood or Newburn? Do you like supervillain drama stories like the original Suicide Squad run?

Well do I have a comic for you! Please consider backing today!!!

there’s been this delightful stream of appreciation for the middleman since the archive put it up, and it is incredibly gratifying and satisfying at a time when it is much needed. i’m deeply grateful. truly, my heart is filled with love and art crawl. @lesmcclaine.com

Looking for an artist who wants to draw some wild and crazy comics with me. Paying gig. Opportunity to pitch it to publishers - but we can also self publish.
