One that I put up for sale in my Etsy shop (which was promptly bought — thank you, Joe!): …and six from my sketchbook.

O Beautiful.
[Apologies if any of this seems more fragmented than normal. I’m in the middle of a multi-day caffeine detox, and the inside of my skull ain’t pretty.] This morning, on my Facebook and Instagram accounts, as well as at LousyBookCovers.com and CheapCaffeine.net, I posted this image and caption: Happy birthday to the greatest nation in…
Movies Seen Recently: The Dead Center, Awara Paagal Deewana, Elimination Game
The Dead Center (2018) – A doctor in the hospital’s psych ward, who tends to get over-attached to his patients, deals with a mysterious patient who appeared from nowhere, and who show symptoms by turns of amnesia, catatonia, and delusional self-harm. Meanwhile, the police’s medical examiner tries to track down a body that has mysteriously…
Sketch of the Day Omnibus Post.
Everything from my sketchbook this week.
Movies Seen Recently: The Way Back, The Invasion, Blood: The Last Vampire
The Way Back (2010) – Inspired by (as opposed to “based on”) a true story, this movie follows a handful of men who broke out of a Siberian gulag in the early 1940s and made their way clear down to India (at least, some of them did). I expected this to be “The Great Escape,…
In Which I Cancel Myself.
I confess up front that I’m going to face-plant on this post, because I can’t conceive that I will explain my thoughts well enough that I won’t set myself up (and provide the damning evidence) for all sorts of hounding, canceling, and general condemnation. I guess that, in knowing the consequences going in, I can…
Movies Seen Recently: Tampopo, Kate & Leopold, It’s a Disaster
Tampopo (1986) – Hadn’t watched that in probably twenty years. Still makes me hungry for some good ramen. (I probably need to watch this back-to-back with Eat Drink Man Woman (1994).) Kate & Leopold (2001) – For a time-travel movie, this has an unconscionable number of anachronisms and just plain simple mistakes. On the other…
Sketch of the Day Omnibus Post.
One sketch that’s for sale in my Etsy shop… …and the rest from my sketchbook:
Movies Seen Recently: The Legend of the Lone Ranger, Diary of a Madman, Gone With the Wind
The Legend of the Lone Ranger (1981) – The summer of 1981 was a very bad time to be a movie not titled Raiders of the Lost Ark. However, Indy can’t really bear much of the blame for this movie’s dismal flop; it’s a bad movie. There’s a long, almost interminable backstory that goes all…
ST:TNG Binge Watch Season 7, Part VIII
7:24 Preemptive Strike – Ensign Ro gets a wrap-up episode! (And a promotion to Lieutenant!) No, she hasn’t just been invisible in the background (Ro don’t DO “invisible”); she’s been away at Advanced Tactical Training. And now, because of the increasing activities of the Maquis — the guerrilla group of former Federation citizens now in…
