Thank you!
@iliaskyriazis.bsky.social really does the heavy lifting w/his artβ€”he’s really functioning on an inhuman level. Our editor @popculturehound.bsky.social has done a great job of giving us room to dream, while encouraging us to bring the @heavymetalofficial.bsky.social oddness we all crave!

Hey #comics reviewers, who wants to do an advance review of Heavy Metal #1?

And, if any of my creator friends want an advance look, shoot me a message as well.

Word that the great Drew Struzan, who painted more iconic movie posters in the 1980s & 90s than you can imagine, has entered the final stages of Alzheimers. His wife asked that everyone thinks of him and his work and I'm certainly glad to do so. What a talent.

Well, after six years of loyal service (and multiple trips around the world) my MacBook has officially died. Fortunately the hard drive and data can be retrieved, but I’ve become a creature of habit and will miss my β€˜ideal’ set-up. Here’s to limping along with my iPad while I figure out what’s next.

A wonderful and timely reflection on the legend that is Before Sunrise. For those of us who aged alongside the film, it’s a reminder of how much things (and we ourselves) have changed over the years. Well worth a read, followed by a rewatch.

Millstone is going to spin some heads, Ilias is functioning on a different level entirely.

I’m feeling a little despondent about the world today. As much as it helps to stay informed, it makes me more aware of how much greed, pride + vitriol controls things. It’s also a healthy reminder for me to switch off + not pay attention to everything that’s going on - sometimes we can take a break.

Hello, Bluesky Hivemind! Does anybody know who the @dccomicsreal.bsky.social contact for Publishing Rights and Licensing is these days? I have a question and was hoping someone could point me in the right(s) direction. πŸ™

#MondayMotivation A little bit of Prince to start the day. The Versace Experience on vinyl provides a great soundtrack to kick things off for the first official workday of the new year! πŸ’ͺβ€οΈπŸ™

It’s from the β€˜60s, but sadly no 8-track player - just a gorgeous record player that has stood the test of time and still dazzles today. 🌟

Soundtracks are particularly good for this purpose, I think. I just need to get some more in my collection.

No β€˜Wrapped’ at the end of the year though, so you just have to remember what you listened to most (or not) - haha.

That’s not a bad option for short tasks, but I find the 20-25 mins goes quick enough as is. πŸ˜…

The version they sell online is. Not sure if it’s the same at retail though.

It’s pretty darn good! The previous owner kept it well looked after and serviced, so I’ll make sure to do the same. It β€˜sounds’ like a record player, but really fills the room, y’know?
