Hit 28K on my WIP in consistent 2 weeks.

Once read film script writers often have to write a dozen scripts in my room clothes off, shelve them, and the 13th is actually good.

I'm on my 13th.

Paul Gauguin
D'où venons-nous? Que sommes-nous? Où allons-nous?, 1914.

My friend Sharon made Gauguin more interesting than art school had, w/ mushrooms, weed, & big book of color plates

Question: Why do you write?
Answer: I hate people, so...

Thanks, man :-)
I had a couple Avengers Marvel reprints. Always loved this cover.
At the time, I wanted to follow up with the "Masters of Evil" cover - Superfriends vs. Legion of Doom.
Maybe Dolphin will make that cover remake ;)

I had a great spat of writing this morning. Trying to stay consistent – consistently writing instead of consistently not.

During downtime, I drew with my nephews. I came up with this. They told my sister I drew a "scary owl man."

This was a weird one for a big theatrical release.
Maybe time for a rewatch.

This seems like the purest pinnacle of superhero pulp comics.

My dad collected Batman and Derective comics. I remember seeing this cover as a kid and it haunted me.
