One the things that stink about fake nostalgia vids is that I actually like looking at real old b roll for glimpses at vanished places.

Why people are dying:
-Speeding isn't well regulated
-People are driving impaired/distracted
-Vehicle size is dangerously bloated
-Roads are designed poorly
-Legal system has failed vulnerable road users
-Establishment tries to shift blame to victims

My tip to bikers & walkersโ€”tell NPR to fuck off

Without Noel Sickles, there's no Milt Caniff, no Alex Toth, no Frank Robbins. He's the source for a huge slice of how comics are drawn.

Had a lot of fun doing early concept sketches for The Fantastic Four in a 60โ€™s lifestyle illustration style, more in the upcoming Art of The Fantastic Four: First Steps book-

Happy Fantastic Four weekend! I worked alongside a bunch of great folks on this film quite a bit over the last few years, happy to see it finally out

In a night of pure magic with the incomparable @thejoedante.bsky.social and some gremlin friends, we had the best time at our sold out screening of GREMLINS 2 on 35mm (big shout out to our projectionists who helped make the night so unforgettable)

Bonkers. I have always enjoyed working for WotC in the past but have never been able to make it a priority because the rates are not very competitive. Imagine if an illustrator got to see some sort of royalty in the .01 of a percent range, that still comes out to $20k here

Aside from how dangerous this is, the idea of your car being a *third* workplace is incredibly depressing.

It's apt that corporations/governments divided the internet into SFW and NSFW & are now making it all Safe For Work, because that is the defining frame they want to place on the world--everywhere you go is for Work, not pleasure or art or love or culture. You must always Work for Them, or die.
