Closing out my game art post series, saving one of the best for last.
Star War Galaxies
33" x 45" Oil on Panel 2003
Channeled quite a bit of passion into this piece, visualizing a young Han Solo and Chewbacca as an advertising piece for the video game..
Sorry to hear that, dude. Hoping it gets better, whatever's going on.
Two things for the NYT:
1: they contain the internet, which is the -index- to all human knowledge at best.
2: let's assume they actually did have all human knowledge, that only makes them "pretty good" writers?
Yes, and also I've seen so many dudes who want their partners to also basically be therapists so I'm always a bit skeptical of the idea men aren't just the same in terms of need and are just socialized way differently.
Like, look, Guy Ritchie will probably never top the one-two punch of Lock/Stock and Snatch. And it sucks to knock out two of your best that early. But that's ok. If he can turn in a Man from Uncle once every 5-10yrs, that's still a better catalog than most directors.
Seems like Guy really wanted to do another one of 'them Man from Uncle movies and was forced to just make up a bunch of new shit instead.
This is fine. Let's do that. Man from Uncle was delightful.
For me, that ALIEN adaptation by Walt (and the deeply-missed Archie Goodwin) was a masterclass in how comics worked, published when I was still in college, 14 years before my own book about comics came out.
"Oh." as though they've just audibly shat themselves.
Then there are the true freaks who remember you from your time in the comic book mines.
Daylight savings remains bullshit btw.
I'm not but I can learn.
I love how even Lee cracks at it. EIGHT STONE!?

Sorry, but if your friends don't randomly send you a playlist of every Bob Mortimer appearance on Would I Lie to You, you have trash friends.
You can rebuild.
You can find happiness again.
It might take a long time but you can do this.
If you are struggling mentally or are in a dark place let this be a small check point to say, it does get better.
In 2023-24 I had some of the worst depression of my life. I felt like my entire career was gone as Twitter died, but more and more I keep noticing how much I’ve improved since then.

This is one of the most "they knew exactly what they were doing" things in Star Wars since Darth Talon.
Like all genre properties, the longer they go the freakier pervs they cater to. It's the second law of genredynamics.
Ooh I have an unpopular opinion about that Chalamet quote and it's probably not the one people would guess from knowing my interests...
Yeah. You can't necessarily excise the part of yourself that loved a thing when you were younger, or loves a thing now for idiosyncratic reasons, but you don't have to trap yourself in that perspective.
I appreciate the humor of the universe casting a dude who looks like shitty Lex Luthor in this role, at least.
The thing about one clown firing another clown is they just roll out the clown car and another one tumbles out.
People do realize that positioning any serious topic as a distraction from a different serious topic is you just saying you don't want other people talking about anything other than what you want to talk about, right.
I manifested Friday real hard all day long. It's still not Friday, but it is raining, so not a total waste.
I know it's not the weekend yet but today would be a good day for it.
I played it for years and... yeah. Somewhat.
No you may not see. Members only.
I've been growing my hair out and it is now properly shaggy and unkempt. I know if I push through eventually I will have luscious, LUSCIOUS locks.
Every fiber of my being is telling me to cut it. But I shall stay the course.
