The magnificent archer Hou Yi shot down the world’s nine extra suns and thus, was rewarded with the elixir of immortality. Any who drank this elixir would ascend to heaven and become immortal. However, Hou Yi was not willing to leave his wife so he gave her the elixir for safekeeping. #midautumn

Just last week, my guest appearance on the Graymalkin Lane podcast hit Patreon. We discussed The White Tiger; not the #boriqua #martialartist which first comes to mind, nor her predecessor; but the were-tiger of the 90's era Heroes for Hire! #martialmonday www.patreon.com/cw/graymalki...

The better martial arts stories use combat as a vehicle for exploring identity, community, and personal responsibility. These works place character development and cultural storytelling at their forefront. Which is why IT’s NOT JUST ABOUT THE FIGHT SCENES! #martialarts #wuxia #comics #martialmonday

Spent this morning making some much needed updated to my website - this time it's my new ARTICLES section. I've been doing a good amount of movie reviews and other writing, so that should all be in one place too: plugoarts.com/blog/writing/

You might have caught my movie review of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY. I titled it — The Spideyssey and the term seems to be catching on. #TheSpideyssey #spideyssey #spidermanbrandnewday #theodyssey plugoarts.com/blog/11037-2/

This is an old illustration of that famous scene in Tom Sawyer. Not quite as old as the book itself which celebrated 150 years just this June. Fun Fact: I used Samuel Langhorne Clemens' actual house as reference for the one you see in the background. #tomsawyer #KidsGN📚💬 #illustration #marktwain

Black, white sand gray children's book style illustration depicting the famous scene of Tom Sawyer (from the 1876 novel of the same name written by Samuel Langhorne Clemens AKA: Mark Twain). In the scene Tom convinces a local boy to paint an old wooden fence white, in his place.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks the 12th live action adaptation - not counting appearances in CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR (2016), AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR (2018) and AVENGERS: ENDGAME (2019) - but here can say they seen them all? Including the 1981 DRAGON’S CHALLENGE

I saw this movie last week, but was embargoed from even mentioning I did so until now — So what’s the not-so-secret connection between Spider-Man & The Odyssey? Read about THE SPIDEYSSEY here: www.kungfumagazine.com/news/feature...

PLUGO @plugoarts.com · 23/07/2026

There was one monster whose appearance in THE ODYSSEY was a little bit disappointing to me. So I went ahead and drew my own version. #mythical #theodyssey

Among the perks of press screenings: reserved seats & promotional SWAG. In this case, a huge window poster printed on both sides (back side shown - this photo hasn’t been reversed). I haven’t measured it but that my drawing table it’s taking up.
