inktober 2022: week 2
Week 2 of Inktober 2022 features the 1986 Oscar winner for “Best Makeup” – David Cronenberg’s remake of The Fly.

Goldblum’s “Seth Brundle,” a preoccupied scientist, is believable, but the special effects …
inktober 2022: week1
Wow! It’s already October! And you know what that means. Well, it might mean something different to you, but for a bunch of artists (and me), it means another round of Inktober.

Not wanting to interrupt her modeling career, 17-year old Marsha Hunt reluctantly accepted a seven-year contract with Paramount Pictures. She made 12 movies in her first three years at Paramount, before her contract was terminated early. She headed to the smaller studios, appearing in run-of-the-mill Westerns. Growing impatient with Hollywood, Marsha headed for New York …
DCS: norm macdonald
Norm Macdonald told this joke often… A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office. “What’s wrong?” asks the podiatrist. The moth replies: “Doc, I hate my career. My marriage is failing. My family is exhausting. My relationships with my children are terrible. Sometimes it’s all too much to bear. I don’t know where to turn.” “You …
