#Inktober Day 26: Zip
Just got home from Lightbox Expo & WOW! What an absolutely incredible, transformative experience. I cannot give enough thanks to everyone who stopped by and chatted to me & for the event staff for having me. 💗🌟
More to say later, but now: sleep!
Was sad about not being at NYCC but no one at NYCC has FIXATION #2 in their hands!!! Muahahaha, I can't believe this one is almost out in the wild -- in stores 10/28. Don't miss an absolutely killer penultimate issue!!! 🙏🩸

Oh, god fucking damn it. I know the focus here is on Spiegelman but NOT FRANCOISE MOULY TOO??? The leading ART EDITOR of the New Yorker??? Fuck, man. She gave a talk at my university while I was there all about artistic process and art editorial. Fucking hell.

Time for some big potatoes.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting?
For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.
In interviews she's expressed that the studio considered replacing her because she was "too conventionally attractive to look like she'd want to kill herself". Shaving her head was her idea and they liked the idea enough to keep her on as Deb.
Muted this now but it's been a fun and informative romp!
In honor of FIXATION #2 releasing next week here's one more exclusive movie fact: On the set of the teen vampire romance Blood Mountain, Summer Stephens' stunt double died during a scene because of some crazy safety oversight... or was it? 😉

I hope some wannabe influencer enjoys me ruining his video with a solid, "Dude, will you stop touching my ass?" in the middle of the HHN Hellraiser house last night. Wished I could have been like, "Pinhead, kill this man." instead.
In addition to being an awesome editor, Jamie Rotante also writes rockin' Archie stories! 🎸 I love seeing the return of the Vixens (plus Rock Candi, Josie, and more Riverdale faves).
Check out a preview of the new oneshot -- FOC is coming up on Monday (10/19), don't miss out! 💖

There's never been a better time to jump on White Ash! Check out this campaign -- not only do you get all the main series goodness, but it's got the super fun annual story @tiredsai.bsky.social and I got to do with Alessia De Sio!!!
If you ever wanted to check out White Ash, this is the campaign. The first two arcs of the series are being collected in a pair of beautiful hardcover editions (over 600 pages of story) Dust jackets by @denisdupanovic.bsky.social and @meghanhetrick.bsky.socialwww.kickstarter.com/projects/whi...
Sometimes I think this is the trouble with casually calling artists "talented" instead of skilled.
Talent is magical and ephemeral. People believe you're born with it or you're not.
Skill is earned, cultivated, and studied. Applying observation into action
What boggles my mind is... how could anyone possibly be TEACHING someone to not use references? So much damage done to a young artist, affecting them for so many years...
And then how could this person not learn that this is nonsense throughout all these years? It's not impossible, but still. Wild.
🩸TODAY'S THE DAY. Last call to pre-order Fixation's blood-soaked finale with your local comic store before the print numbers are set.
Comics pro mutuals, hit me up if you want to peep the full series PDFs in advance. Blood Mountain is waiting for you.
Holy moly! Next Monday (10/12) is FOC for FIXATION #3! That's the LAST ONE!
@welldipper.bsky.social, @jmfenner.bsky.social, @rileysauruss.bsky.social, Sandy Tanaka, and I put a lot of work into this miniseries and I'd love for you to see how it ends.
Pre-order with your LCS! @idwpublishing.com
CALIFORNIANS NEED TO SPREAD THIS FAR AND WIDE. Too many voters are low information and will vote yes on all three w/o realizing the latter cancels out the former
I just started reading Witch Hat Atelier and my heart is SO FULL of MAGIC AND LOVE FOR CRAFTSMANSHIP. Both in the context of the story and the mangaka's work. AAAAAHHHHH. Shoutout to my local libraries for having all the volumes available.
Was rewatching The Mentalist and noticed a really fun Easter egg -- in an episode that involves infiltrating a high-stakes poker game, they go to a bar and on the specials menu far in the back, you can read "REMY LEBEAU'S CAJUN HOT WINGS" with a drawing of a pink playing card and "charged up" sauce.
Whoever was the scenic artist who snuck that on the chalkboard, I know it's been 10 years since that episode aired, but let me buy you a drink someday.
