And he only became the main character because he made it a vanity project for himself like The Rock with Black Adam.

They could have told Leto to piss off and get someone who isn't so repellent.

Need to share for anyone who doesn't know the story of how Drew Struzan painted the poster art for The Thing in less than 24 hours

The Thing | The story behind Drew Struzan's iconic poster

Artist Drew Struzan created an iconic poster for John Carpenter’s The Thing. Incredibly, it was conceived and painted in a matter of hours…

Received my contributor copies of Samidoon tonight, and the book came out wonderfully! Thanks to @davidmariotte.bsky.social for coordinating this project, @jacobysalcedo.bsky.social and Fortune Wesson for collabing with me to tell a personal story, and for everyone who supported the book.

Hi #portfolioday, I'm David! I'm a writer & editor! Currently looking for comics writing work (licensed or original--I've got pitches, webcomics okay, NSFW okay) and long-term employment in editorial or a related gig! Hire me!

[email protected]
www.davidmariotte.com

The A cover to Transformers Wreckers: Tread & Circuits by Jack Lawrence and Candice Han depicting the "IDW2" version of the Wreckers. They're showing off for the cameras. Clockwise: Thunderclash, Ricochet, Minerva, Circuit, Aileron, and Hot Shot. One of several Transformers projects I wrote. I also edited the entire line of Transformers comics for several years.

The cover to the Eisner-Award Winning Godzilla 70th Anniversary book, by E.J. Su who also has a fantastic story inside. Godzilla is destroying a town and chomping on a train. In the background, a silhouette of light in the destruction makes a giant 70. A comic I co-edited with Jake Williams at IDW (and one story edited by Jamie S. Rich). I was the Godzilla editor for a bit working on other titles as well.

The cover to Power Rangers Prime #5 (which makes the Pink Ranger look more purple than he really is). Depicting the Prime team. Clockwise from top: Red, Yellow, Black, Pink, and Blue! Art by Dan Mora. I am also the former Rangers editor at BOOM! Studios.

The cover to the Sonic the Hedgehog 2022 Free Comic Book Day special. Art by Adam Bryce Thomas featuring Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails. I was the editor on Sonic at IDW from 2018-2023, as well as writing some additional materials for the book, including a recap back-up story in this very issue!

The douche that lives in the street next to me that I can see from my first floor window has painted his car like a union jack, has a Union jack hanging out the window, and a union jack sticker on his window.

Utter tosser.

Reminder that the most helpful info to have for Portfolio Day (besides your art) is a name to call you by, a way to contact you, and a description of the kind of work you're looking for! This is supposed to be a tool for easy reference for hiring professionals to check your stuff out!
