Watched #StandByMe tonight.

I’m not crying.

You’re crying.

I truly misss having someone to freak out over paintings with.

Very little in the world gives me greater pleasure than standing in front of a painting and being overwhelmed by it.

What I wouldn’t give to be in Arezzo to see a masterpiece like this by #Cimabue

I never knew until recently, that cousin Itt spelled his name with two Ts. Although, apparently they only use one T in newer “iterations.” (See what I did there?)

Unfortunately, #Thanksgiving wasn’t in the cards again this year. But I hope everyone else is having a good time.

Scanning through the news after I woke up this morning, I came across the #ApplePocket.

WOW.

No.

Never in a million years would I waste a penny on this ridiculous thing. (And in case you’re wondering they cost hundreds of dollars.)

Thoroughly enjoyed Guillermo del Toro’s #Frankenstein

I tend to prefer a high level of grounded realism in movies so the stage theatricality put me off at first but very quickly drew me back in.

Made this design as a gift for my son for Christmas (so please don’t tell him!) Can’t wait to see his face on the day! You can get one too in Japan, or the States, links are on my profile. #Goonies #NeverSayDie #SkullAndCrossBones #OneEyedWilly

I keep hearing rumors about a sequel to Goonies and as much as that would be really cool, I kind of hope they just don’t do it. But who knows, after all, Goonies never say die. #Goonies #GooniesNeverSayDie #OneEyedWillie

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do much for Halloween this year, but I did manage to get a few spooky shots of my half baked Crimson Skull inspired costume.

#Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone is one of the worst of the best of the worst fun movies I’ve ever seen.

Halloween is hands-down, my favorite holiday.

This year, I’m working hard and will miss out on some of the festivities, but in my mind I’ll be playing a constant reel of horror movies.

(Does that sound crazy? That sounds crazy. Ha! No crazy here!)

I’d hoped to do a lot more illustrations for all the fun Halloween prompts going on this month, but 13-hour work days six days a week aren’t making it any easier.

So here is a quick image from last year of ghosts having a seance. #GhostSéance #KidLit #Halloween25

Playing the first season of #TheTwilightZone as I do a bit of drawing and #ScrantonPennsylvania had been mentioned multiple times.
