I really like the subtle glow effect of the final piece.

I'm really excited to go mushroom hunting after my move to Sweden. I actually poisoned myself once because while the mushroom I found was edible, the tree it was growing on was toxic and leached toxins into the mushroom. I vomited three times, 0/10 do not recommend.

An October piece from 10 years ago. Just cuz.
Some sort of red/orange pteradon heads past our point of view, carrying a lit Jack O' Lantern in its hind claws. Behind it is a giant, blue green moon in stormy sky.

Impossible stupid question: i recently read about an Italian horror movie where a decapitation was done with trick photography and mirrors, but I can’t find the paragraph in the goddamn book I was reading. Anyone know what it might be?

It's true. I was in blissful ignorance when we wrapped the last cover and script.

GW:

I think @tadstones.bsky.social, i.e. my old buddy and current collaborator on Gargoyles/Darkwing (bleedingcool.com/comics/greg-...) only just found out about Gargoyles/Fantastic Four (www.marvel.com/comics/issue... & www.dynamite.com/disney/viewP...) …

Is Goliath being unfaithful? You decide!

WIP frustration with myself.
Close up of Darkwing Duck grimacing in irritation, pulling the sides of his hat down to his shoulders as he grits his teeth. Yes, I know ducks don't have teeth but it was a thing we did in cartoons.

Pocket Princesses 430: 75 Years of Peanuts (and we have waited long enough!)
It’s time for Charlie Brown to kick that football and the Princesses have announced a change in roster to make it happen. Snow White has entered the field.

Love the mad scientist vibe of the first kid. Here's more views of what your great, great, grand parents were up to on Halloween: www.vintag.es/2016/10/a-co...
Black and White photo of four children from the 1930s in Halloween costumes, a mad scientist with goggles and oversized jacket, a devil with stuffed cones as horns on the jood of a jacket and paper triangle beard, a kid in an oversized paper mache donkey head and a child with a black mask covering her eyes and long coat.

This is a great synopsis of current events, national and international, that the media is not reporting on.

Please give this a watch! And have a Good Friday!

A reminder to folks that "likes" don't promote a creator on BlueSky. If you see a charming piece of art, an excellent message, or a bit of whimsy that strikes your fancy, a "like" might make the creator feel good - which is fine. But if you want to put more eyes on it, you have to repost.

Totally my fault for moving forward without even describing my idea.

"Over the years" is a key point. There's not stone tablets of rules at Disney that everyone follows. Guidelines change as middle management changes.
tadstones.bsky.social
It was Disney. It might have been a licensing thing, but Disney also avoids the appearance of cross promotion of any type on comic covers.
tadstones.bsky.social
So cool! And yes, there was an excess of stickers on the Darkwing vehicles.
tadstones.bsky.social
And maybe not even when licensed. They no longer want parody of famous covers unless they're doing it themselves like the Marvel cover parodying Avengers #4 with Mickey, Donald, Goofy, et al.
