Sketch of the Day Omnibus Post.
I filled another sketchbook, so I’m back to posting a sketch each day on Instagram and MeWe.

Back when I worked as office manager at a law firm, we’d occasionally get unbalanced people approach us to take their case. (The law firm specialized in estate planning and business entity creation, with occasional litigation related thereto; I can only imagine how many off-kilter cases coming walking in the door of those firms who…
Movies Seen Recently: Hellbound: Hellraiser 2, Young Billy Young, Final Approach
Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 (1988) – While I did mention that I don’t think the original Hellraiser is an unqualified success, it’s far above the first sequel. Part of the problem here is that the movie tries to make Kirsty the main character, when her story is really done; the storyline keeps trying to be about…

Movies Seen Recently: War of the God Monsters, The Woman in Black, The Slime People
War of the God Monsters (1985) – A “lost” kaiju film made in South Korea, this movie boasts two almost unrelated storylines: A scientist who’s been ridiculed for his theory about prehistoric monsters soon to awaken has moved to a remote town with his pre-school daughter while he conducts his “research” (which seems to be…
The final curtain.
November 1, 1997 – November 20, 2021 The phrase “a tortured soul” has been used semi-romantically to describe many artistic people. But Jason was very much a tortured soul without the romantic connotations. He’d had behavioral problems since childhood; he was diagnosed with Asperger’s in adolescence, plus major depression; recently two professionals had floated the…
