Very unlikely because of sales numbers.

Really appreciate you guys doing this deep dive on a book that basically got lost in the pandemic. It’s nice to see the discussion of the work we did, which all of us were super proud of.

Only if he was willing to sell it to someone likely to hold it in a Swiss airport vault!

Not saying he paid that in 1964, mind you, just that that’s the equivalent value in 1964 dollars.

Quick inflation calculator puts the equivalent price at $917,000 in 1964 when Rothko moved into this studio. Not sure what his finances were at that point, but it seems like a lot, even for someone with his success.

Could Rothko even have afforded this?

Not to be a complainer, but we haven’t had a single dewpoint whoosh graphic here on Bluesky.

I took my class to @peabodyessex last Thursday to sketch from their new show from the @pafacademy collection. Here are a couple of my sketches done while the students were working.

Sketchbook pencil sketch studies of a landscape painting and a carved female wooden head.

The credit for X-Men Remastered on the Eisners is wrong. The book collects stories Glenn Greenberg edited 30 years ago, but I'm the sole editor of the book. I'm real happy for the team but crediting "Glenn Greenberg and others" really sucked the joy out of this one. "And others" on my own project 😐

Solo show is not until February 2028, but paintings take time, and it’s a big space to fill. Cutting panels to size for a series that I’m planning for the heart of the show.

A large aluminum panel is supported by a table in an artist’s studio. Arrayed across the panel in preparation for cutting it, are a ruler, a clamped straight edge, and a mat knife.

@illdave.bsky.social I have a question about your paper/ink preferences for lettering. I have a commission to replicate some lettering for a piece of original art and they’d like it to look like it would have in original paste-up method. Message me if you would?

Been gathering work for a show @fortpointarts.bsky.social curated by @karlstevensart.bsky.social & found drafts of 1st pages of “Gulls” from “Pleading with Stars”. 1st is plain ink, then gouache/colored pencil/vellum. I ❤️ it, but vellum scans poorly. Used watercolor in final. (See cut out panel)

Two pages of comics artwork done in black ink.

I haven’t been sharing much art lately, because I’m trying to protect delicate young ideas. But this I think is safe enough.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

It seems pointless and futile. It’s NOT. Time and again when asked what citizens do that most directly sways their decision making, senators say: phone calls.

Call your senators today/tonight and (if Dem) insist that they vote no on the budget continuing resolution. Also give Schumer a call. (If Rep) express your displeasure about handing power of the purse to Trump & Elon. Find your reps and their numbers here: www.senate.gov/senators/sen...

$32,000 is the remaining PRINCIPLE on our student loans which we have paid 3x over during the past 25 years. Especially damning is this: “If…income growth…remained equitable [since] the 1970s, median household income today would be double what it is now” The rich have robbed us my entire life.

I think the daylong boycott is a cute, universal good, smart even. But what makes boycotts STICK is a continuous effort to support alternatives and not just for 24hrs. Its not a boycott if you shop at Target tomorrow.

"What more do they want us to do? Handcuff ourselves to polls and get arrested?" No, we want you to be as least as obstructionist as Mitch McConnell was to Presidents Obama and Biden, and daily use your voices to call out Trump's and Musk's fascism and malfeasance.
