Hello Bluesky, I’m Jordan and - first things first - I want to give a shout-out to @jimlaczkowski.bsky.social for sending me an invite awhile back.

I’m a huge movie buff and love Old Hollywood. I love everything related to the arts. Here are some of my illustrations:

Rosalind, Hormone Monstress (as done in the style of the TV show Big Mouth)

Don’t know why the hell I have to go all the way to Japan to get a real Jaws section at a Universal Park, but this is so damn cool. And yes, I’m doing the ride later today. Of course I am.

Tori Amos doesn’t get nearly enough credit for how divine her speaking voice is.

(On top of her singer-songwriter prowess, of course).

That’s insane. Bill Hicks was *32* when he died from pancreatic cancer.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Context: public figure gave me a movie recommendation

Was talking to a friend about an online interaction I had with a public figure, and she sent me this, which made me Ricky Gervais laugh:

Me: my “pics or it didn’t happen” submission

Them: Girl you could tell me you have keys to his house and I’d believe you

A picture of Jared Leto in Tron: Ares, with a caption that reads: Find someone that believes in you as much as movie studios believe in Jared Leto

I went to Disney two days ago, and went to see Battle Royale on the big screen yesterday. Sitting outside the neighborhood lake. Beautiful day!

There was another poster artist who died last week. I don’t remember his name off the top of my head, but he did a lot of work in the ‘70s.

As recently as last week, I was writing about the brilliance and impact of the art of Drew Struzan. Today, we learn he's passed. I'm gutted.

His artistic genius and inspirational images will truly be appreciated forever. May we continue to treasure his work & the man who made it. Thank you, Drew.

ah RIP Drew Struzan, the greatest movie poster illustrator ever, who created one of the greatest posters in a single day with no reference material from the film.

(As well as 90% of the great movie posters from the 80s. scrolling any streaming service now makes me hate what we've lost so much)

My dad gave me his copy of THE ART OF DREW STRUZAN which I’ve had in my personal library for years now. I would suggest buying a copy ASAP:
