"turns out Ualac from Hellboy: Box Full of Evil is the same demon as Valac from The Nun, so I couldn't resist the mashup." - Lukas

I think @paultobin.bsky.social and @philhester.bsky.social will appreciate this.

How do you make unpublished art in your collection become published art? Simple. Stick it into a book you are publishing.

Voilà

It is now published art! (Ain't I sneaky...?)

For those who don't know, the joke to this is that published art is worth more money than unpublished art.

Here's the thing: There are some franchises I will ALWAYS be excited for more. They don't have to be great. More of the same is eternally welcome.

I will always want more:
Star Wars
Star Trek
007
Dr Who

Reshoot this ad frame for frame with the woman just talking to the air (which is what she is in fact doing) and an ominous synth score, and it’s an A24 elevated horror trailer

"oh wow" is the correct response to this work.
Every so often I pull a book out of a box and go "oh wow". Today that was Yokai by Shigeru Mizuki. Descriptions of Japanese folklore from one of the all time manga greats. ♥️♥️♥️

Very nice review of ULTIMATE X-MEN Vol. 3!

"Peach Momoko and Zack Davisson’s take on our merry mutants continues to stand apart from typical superhero fare with its dreamlike visuals and introspective storytelling."

As I never go to Starbucks anyways, I can happily join in this boycott.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
