RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Pennsylvania Voters! A month from now on Nov 4th we could lose the Democrat majority on our state Supreme Court unless you VOTE YES to retain these three judges. Having a dem majority is why we still have access to abortion, funded public schools and no gerrymandering like what's happening in Texas!

We apologize for the mistake in yesterday's Preview Panel but we misattributed three pieces from the upcoming #MTGLorwyn. This slide shows the corrected artist credits!

This image depicts three different pieces of art, cut into equal parts of the image. From left to right:

This art depicts a being with the torso of a humanoid and the lower body of a four-legged creature as the being sits amongst swamplands. The being is wearing a dark cloak with a hood hiding the details of their face. Along the bottom reads "Moonshadow" art by Julie Benbassat.

The middle art depicts a goblin crouching on a rock in the middle of a pond. It smiles a toothy grin as it chews on different small baubles in its mouth. Along the bottom reads: "Taster of Wares" art by Felicita Sala.

The art of the right depicts two giant Elemental creatures, one with six legs, wings and the sun where its face would be. The other creature, lanky with a long serpentine neck that ends in a crescent moon. The creatures are putting their faces together to create an eclipse where their faces would be. Along the bottom reads: "Celestial Reunion" by Serena Maylon.
