To further the "copyright growing pains" analogy, fascism is like a new pair of pants: uncomfortable at first, but once you goose step around in them, they fit much better.

R.I.P. Drew Struzan. I based my Muppet version of BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA off his poster art "with apologies to Struzan." Thanks for all your many inspiring works, Drew.

I always respect his wild swings, but they don't always land for me. M*A*S*H* has moments, but I don't find it very satisfying.

Commissions in progress: Re-creations, "what ifs" and mashups based on works by Raymond, Craig, Bailey, and Ditko. I'm also working on a couple Muppet-ized movie illustrations and a "what if" version of FANTASTIC FOUR #100 that I'll hold off showing for now.

Oh, yeah! How could I forget?? For me, another perfect marriage of songs and story.

I didn't care for Brewster. I have a real love/hate with Robert Altman. THE LONG GOODBYE and THE PLAYER are firmly on the love side. SHORT CUTS is a particular unfavorite, mainly because of the clunkiness and the west coast setting.

It's integral for me. I guess Cohen didn't like his music in it either, at least at first. I read that he agreed to the usage because he was a fan of BREWSTER McCLOUD.

Ha! I actually hated the Prince music when BATMAN first came out, but I've softened a bit since.

I rewatched two of my favorite films, THE GRADUATE and McCABE & MRS. MILLER. I'm always curious how much I'd enjoy Graduate without the Simon and Garfunkel, or McCabe without the Leonard Cohen. I wonder how many other successful films have song soundtracks by a single artist?

I feel like DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY and DEATH PAUSES FOR MICKEY MOUSE would be a fun double feature.

My Muppet version of MACBETH was commissioned by Dream Role Players as a gift for their director. They sent me a pic of her reaction, which has really made my day.
