Luke 19:3. Jesus is canonically shorter than average, the people crowding him there would average about 5'5". Ephrem the Syrian said Jesus was three cubits tall, which is about 4'4". Early Christians who mention His height consistently said Jesus was notably short.

BOOGEYMAN (1986) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 28” X 17” I love doing covers for anthologies, especially horror. This piece was commissioned for the annual THE YEAR'S BEST HORROR STORIES from DAW Books. #art #booksky 🪐📚

A tall, slender boogeyman with exaggeratedly long arms quietly slides open the closet door of a child's bedroom. Jostled hangers slide to either side as the creature emerges from behind the cover of clothing. Red dots glow like molten beads set in deep sockets. A double wrinkled ridge defines a wide brow while elfish ears knife out and back, framing a sloped dome that nearly touches the top shelf. The closet rod bars its way forward, crossing just below its round, snub nose. Salivating, its jaw hangs open in a V-shaped smile lined with short sharp teeth.

I made a "sashay, shante" reference to someone under 40 and got a blank stare. I try to keep a mental catalog of which of my references are so dated as to come off like I'm speaking in tongues.

PoPunk, particularly blink-182, is my weak point. Easily tuned my mental dial to the choruses of most of these songs, but those were the key areas of indecipherable static in my attic.

A contradiction can be an invitation. The impossible timelines and half-explained rules of Crisis have kept readers testing theories for forty years. If every inconsistency had been cleaned up, would there be less left for us to discover?

Kevin Miller describes DC as a feedback loop among creative ambition, business survival and fan response. When those forces collide, which one should have the final say over characters that function as both corporate property and modern mythology?

Adding Barry Corbin to the list of beloved character actors I assumed were long dead, but are actually still working in stuff I don't watch. The 85 year old is on Brothers, and I realize I'm now in the general age window of when he played Maurice Minnifield on Northern Exposure.

Notably, Paul was the artist for "The Treasure of Dogai Singh" In Fantomen 2004-8, written by Swedish Phantom master Claes Reimerth. That story introduced Sandal Singh, a character who to this day is at the core of the ongoing Scandinavian-Australian Phantom comics. And Paul nailed it.

PEEKABOO FUZZIES (1983) Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 16” x 22” The Fuzzy Sapiens created by H. Beam Piper first appeared in the early 1960's and were a welcome contrast to the menacing aliens that seemed to dominate science fiction of the day. #art #booksky 🪐📚

A pair of adorable furry creatures poke their heads out from the cover of dense tropical vegetation. Their huge eyes are strikingly green, cat-like and glossy so that the treetops reflect in the light. Their noses lie long, wide, and flat. Their mouths aren't pronounced like an ape, but thin lips and the slit of their mouths does seem ape-like. Long tufts of light brown hair sweep outward around the eyes like a flaring mane, giving their faces a disproportionately wide countenance. Hair over the pate is smoothed back of their heads. Cat-like ears—soft rounded triangles—are set above and just outside their big eyes. One thick-fingered paw, lacking claws or nails of any sort, extends as if pushing the alien foliage aside.

Going to be an extremely unpopular opinion here: But this is Napster's shitty legacy and it was good that Metallica sued them into the sun. "Everything on the internet should be free" begat "when I steal it's activism" and it just fucks over writers and artists.

The Miracle Man shit cracks me up TBH, because it’s trading on the ice cold embers of something that never lived up to the hype, and said hype was contingent of the state of the comics biz during the 80s direct boom.

THE MASTER MIND OF MARS (1978)  Acrylic - 21" x 27"   The only John Carter cover in which I intentionally deviated from the story. The Master Mind does not appear in the actual scene, but Lester del Rey thought the cover should go along with the title... #art #booksky 🪐📚

Ulysses Paxton stands with a hypodermic needle poised over Valla Dia, who lays unconscious on an operating table. Tubes run from her arm to a device hanging from the ceiling. A large chamber in the device is filled with blood. An emaciated old man lurks behind them, fixing his goggled stare on Ulysses. The Master Mind holds a long slender blade in his hand. Through an archway on the left, a four-armed white ape enters.

The argument against AI should always start with the THEFT of creative labor the technology was built on. The intent was CRIMINAL. CEOs should be facing charges, not class action lawsuits. The devastation these companies continue to inflict on creative communities demands accountability.
