The great Gena Rowlands in GLORIA (1980), written and directed by the great John Cassavetes. Recently rewatched it. Still one of my favorites. A neglected gem, with one of the grittiest New Yorks on film.

That is much appreciated.
I donβt believe Iβve posted all four of these together, probably my most fun commission series, βMeet the New Dinosaurs.β They say Iβve set paleontology back a couple hundred years, but Iβm far too modest to take the credit. If youβre interested in commissioning a #5, message me.
Sometimes watching me some classic TV a favorite actor will keep popping up. Recently itβs Sabrina Scharf, Retired from acting in 70s, became a lawyer, activist, ran for Cal State Senate. Not her birthday & yes sheβs still with us, but what the hell, we could do worse than looking at Sabrina Scharf.
Me, at the current state of things.

Thank you very much. Very gratifying to hear. And please thank your daughter.

Respect.
To kick off Womenβs History Month, let us honor pioneering French composer Γliane Radigue who passed away last week at 94. Her incorporation of Tibetan Buddhist spiritual beliefs into her experimental compositions in electronic music, particularly her minimalist dronescapes were groundbreaking. RIP.
We had a lot of fun with that. Both of them, actually.
Came up with a nice copy of the out-of-print LOST SKELETON OF CADAVRA Special Edition DVD, the one packed with swell extras. If youβd like to purchase it signed (by me), message me. Maybe I can get Jenimala to sign it.
Been wanting to paint the Joker for while and βThe Joker Sprang Forthβ is also my tribute to one of my favorite comic artists, the great Dick Sprang. His Joker has always been my favorite. Hope it honors his work as well as offering a bit of my own take. Acrylic on 12X16 canvas. Msg any inquiries.
Another drawing from my "Crawlers" series from some years back.
I was going to rant about how A.I. doesnβt belong in the arts and decided to post one of these stupid things instead.
Just took a new pic of one of my favorite commissions: my cover painting for GONJI: DARK VENTURES Ted Rypelβs heroic fantasy book featuring the exciting novella βDark Venture.β Tedβs literate Sabatake Gonji-no-Sadowara is unique in the annals of sword & sorcery. Available where finer books are sold.
βHmm, those tracks look fresh. Too freshβ¦ In fact, Iβm still standing in them.β
And when you see pages of this, one realizes her incredible patience.
Big shout out to editor Vicki Smeraldi who did incredible job laying out shots for my article on THE 7TH VOYAGE OF SINBAD in Castle of Frankenstein 41, where I dissect the finest action scene in fantasy cinema. No Rondo Award category for Vicki's layout, but hope magazine & article get nomination.
Looks great!
Iβm offering a set of these six signed (to whomever you like) 11X15 prints of my portraits from the Lost Skeleton (extended) family at a swell discounted price. Only two sets available. Message me if youβre interested.
Oh, indeed.
Someone else said Basil Wolverton.
One of a series of drawings I did years ago called βCrawlers.β Looks like a nice day anyway.
Cheepta (Paul Bunnell), Sangrampa (Phoef Sutton), and Hupto (Michael Schlesinger) practice pointing between takes on THE LOST SKELETON RETURNS AGAIN because itβs important to get pointing right.
Thank you for that.

Iβm grateful that for 35 years my play of ROBIN HOOD (Samuel French/Concord) has been performed hundreds of times around the world, the majority by young people. This year Iβm particularly psyched about the one at Oxford which will apparently be outdoors like our original production. 1/2
