Once again, there were a couple of sketches straight from my sketchbook… …but the majority of what I posted were for sale to raise money for my daughter Sariah’s Broadway trip. The sketches that didn’t sell immediately when I posted them on Facebook are available for $20 each at my Etsy store.

I Am Sartana, Your Angel of Death (1969) – This is the fourth or fifth spaghetti western by release date (from four different production companies) to use the character of “Sartana,” the elegant black-clad bounty hunter who’s just as smooth with cards as with a gun; it’s also the second to feature Gianni Garko in…

As part of the requirement to keep the license for my day job, I’m required to attend a set number of Continuing Education classes/events, with the further requirement-within-a-requirement that three hours of such classes concern professional ethics. I find the requirement to be especially ludicrous — it’s not like a crooked professional will attend these…

Equinox (1970) – It started out as a student film, which was then expanded to feature length.  The acting and script aren’t great. But when you realize that the original directors included Dennis Muren (FX genius involved in a bunch of Star Wars movies, Battlestar: Galactica, Jurassic Park and others), you realize that what makes…

Zebraman (2004) – Odd Japanese comedy about a third-grade teacher with a lousy home life and an obsession with “Zebraman,” a short-lived tokusatsu TV series (think “Kamen Rider”) from the ’70s.  But it’s more than the story of a middle-aged closet cosplayer, as amusing as that would be; he discovers, when he runs across an…

I feel the need to preserve here a conversation on economics which took place on Facebook.  My friend Jared Nathan Garrett posted a screenshotted snippet from economics savant Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: And Jared’s comment was simply, That’s not capitalism. While most of Jared’s friends agreed, one commenter named Erin came to AOC’s defense: ERIN: No, she’s…

So I began the week just posting sketches from my sketchbook as usual… But then, I started posting sketches that were actually for sale. I’m helping raise money for my daughter Sariah’s trip to study on Broadway this summer — full details here.  So I posted each of these sketches for sale at $20 each,…

Kommando Leopard (1985) – An almost plotless exercise from director Antonio Mergheriti (excuse me, “Anthony Dawson”), in which a generic rebel leader fights against the forces of a generic two-bit dictator in a generic third-world country (possibly meant to be Central American, though obviously shot in the Philippines).  The only thing not generic is the…
