watched an old episode of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe the other day where he was interviewing various TV writers about craft, and I'm still thinking about what RTD said about dialogue
Stories are always about people, not things. When there are things it’s really about people’s reactions to them.
Gavin Newsom confirms he's only going to give the fascists an inch on trans rights, presumes they won't then demand a mile
Chris Achilleos' original cover art for Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion by Terrance Dicks (as used on the 2011 reprint)
Andrew Skilleter's clean cover art for the 1981 reprint of Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion
it's cool to me that two of the all-time best pieces of Dr Who cover art are for the same book
So sad to share that legendary colorist Tatjana Wood has passed away at the age of 99. Her pioneering painterly touch graced scores of DC & Vertigo series. She was truly one of a kind and a special friend. May her memory be a blessing.
Here’s another art sample I did while working at an advertising art studio in 1979. I think the reference is from the Fairburn System books
Had to move some stuff around in my studio today, ran across this illustration sample I did of Jack Nicholson from “One flew over the cuckoo’s nest”

Here’s a cover I painted earlier in the 2000s for a collection of Earth one and Earth two stories. They added a background color in the printed version.
I drew this in 2005 for a friend who shared my love of the Marvel Superheroes tv show of the 60s!

I don't remember whether that film is actually any good but another gag from that scene makes me laugh whenever I think of it:
"Lance Hunt wears glasses! Captain Amazing *doesn't* wear glasses!"
"He takes them off when he transforms!"
"That doesn't make any *sense*! He wouldn't be able to *see*!"
a movie quote that I think of on a daily basis is Hank Azaria in Mystery Men, when asked why his superhero name is the Blue Raja when his costume doesn't have any blue on it, saying "If we can step out of our *literal minds* for just *one* moment..."
overlaps with this, which is v formative to my understanding of how fiction works bsky.app/profile/mind...
I'd already written the above when I went looking for this piece I vaguely remembered seeing quoted elsewhere at some point, so it was gratifying that the sentiment is so close as to make what I said slightly redundant lol www.ursulakleguin.com/message-abou...
imv a writer's most fundamental job is to make music with words. music can convey deep things about the human experience, but one doesn't generally ask it to conclude with a thesis statement. writing stories that way can be like picking up a woodwind instrument and trying to use it as a microphone.

if an instinctual subconscious response to this is "but can i trust trans women to depict themselves Accurately and not in an idealized way?" do you hold this standard for anyone else, including yourself? this is a form of paternalistic misogyny. sorry to be harsh. you are not the arbiter here
there's no shortage of trans women artists drawing trans women in beautiful and dynamic ways. once again failing to represent trans women with love and care in your heart is a skill issue
