If you saw the Google Doodle earlier this month of gaming trailblazer Gerald “Jerry” Lawson, then you’ve gotten a sample of the amazing work of this week’s guest — art director and illustrator Lauren Brown.

Lauren talked to me about the ins and outs of her current role at Wizards of the Coast, which includes doing art direction for the popular Magic the Gathering game series. She also spoke about growing up in New Jersey and attending undergrad there, getting her MFA at Savannah College of Art and Design, and shared how she started her career in animation and gaming from there. Lauren is also a podcaster, so we talked shop a little bit about her show Painted in Color, and she delved into what the podcast has taught her over the years. If you’re interested in getting into animation, then I hope Lauren’s story inspires you to follow your dreams!

Revision Path is brought to you by Lunch, a multidisciplinary creative studio in Atlanta, GA.

It is produced by Maurice Cherry and engineered and edited by RJ Basilio. Our intro voiceover is by Music Man Dre, with intro and outro music by Yellow Speaker. Transcripts provided by Brevity & Wit.

20th Television Animation and FX Productions Announce First New York 2023 Panels

The biggest pop culture convention in North America is almost here — and that means good things for fans of everything from superhero comics to horror movies, with animation, action movies, and some Disney magic thrown in for good measure

Popverse has unveiled the first panels of the convention, Disney will be present this year where the first panels for 20th Television and FX Productions will be for 30th Television Animation's Futurama and FX Productions Archer.

While we’re talking about animation, we shouldn’t forget about the Futurama panel on Thursday — which combines a screening of the season 11 finale with unseen footage from season 12 — nor the FX’s Archer screening on Friday, which is promising not just a screening, but also some giveaways and a “very special announcement.” (Start you’re speculating!) probably a series order to FX's The Trenches from Floyd County Productions.

Agent Elvis premieres March 17th on Netflix! Finally! I worked on this thing at Floyd County back in 2020/21, and it’s one of my favorite productions I’ve been on. Specifically because of the perfect little team I worked with. The first 3 episodes are all us and I’m really proud of them. I thumbnailed this exaggerated shot and it ended up not being used, so I cleaned it up anyway for fun back then and I still kinda love it. #storyboards #sketch #storyboardartist #agentelvis https://www.instagram.com/p/CpdwKa8PsjH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Presenting The Black Unicorn

In 1965, Broadside Press’s founder, Dudley Randall (1914-2000), with twelve dollars from his paycheck as a librarian in Detroit, established a new company.  The poet, librarian, publisher and editor strove “to bring poetry to the people,” because “poetry is the most effective form of writing.”  Broadside Press also existed to help in creating African-American literature, “ and pride in black literature, therefore, pride in” black people. (1).  

As a Poet

Randall’s poetry, reflecting on love and the black aesthetic, is an inspiration to contemporary readers, in poems such as the “Ballad of Birmingham,” and “Booker T. and W.E.B.,” among many others.

As a Librarian

Randall devoted over twenty-five years of his professional life to working in American libraries at the college and community levels. He served as a librarian at two HBCUs: at Lincoln University during 1952 to 1954; and from 1954 to 1956 at Morgan State University.  He founded the Broadside Press in 1965 while employed with the Wayne County Federated Library System (between 1956 and 1969); and served further at the University of Detroit from 1969 to 1976 as reference librarian and poet-in-residence. 

As a Literary Scholar

In the wake of the Civil Rights Movement, Broadside Press emerged with a range of depth and merit to buttress the flowering renaissance, the Black Arts literary movement. In many unique ways, the press published a complex array of perspectives and various identifications with black culture and black struggle.

Owning his own press permitted Dudley to publish across various literary formats. The namesake product, The Broadside Series poetry, were visually striking and explicitly political; the broadside format combined an accessible literary genre with traditional poems by well recognized and lesser knowns. As such, Broadside was also able to serve as a press in transition:

“[When] Black Arts poetry was contained by an urban linguistic landscape that was dominated by the black male perspective, the emerging literary demands engaged the challenges of the Women’s Movement and connected with global, human struggles with the context of world literature.” (2)  In the creative works of the 1970s, Audre Lorde, a Broadside poet, in particular, claimed this hybrid literary space and infused it with notions challenging Black Arts poetics. “Lorde’s poetry complicated the political and social perspectives of race and gender and disrupted the popular values of nationalist aesthetics; she quickly became a critical and consulted source on black feminist issues and lesbian concerns.” (3)

Over the years, Broadside has printed over 500,000 books: 101 books, 94 broadsides, 5 posters, and 27 tapes and albums of poetry and many of those that he nurtured received the attention and recognition of persons, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez and Gwendolyn Brooks, for example, whose productions define and emerged during the Black Aesthetic ‘60s and BAM (1965-1975).

As a result, Randall’s service as a librarian, and creative efforts as a critic, essayist and editor make him the dominant personality in the production and dissemination of Black Arts Movement poetry in the US and beyond.

She works at Floyd County Productions now, if you're wondering! (Unsupervised, Archer, chozen)

Happy Halloween! There's a trend of people revisiting late '00s creepypasta this year, and I've been digging into the spooky side of Neopets that I was obsessed with well into middle school. Here's a little tribute I made to my most nostalgic Neo-memory, the webcomic 'Spooky' by ghostkomori. This was soooooo influential on me as a kid! I used the author's petpage tutorial to learn how to scan drawings and edit them in photoshop, way back in 2008. Let me know if you remember reading Spooky in the Neopian Times too!

'Not my governor': Minnesota small business owner rips Harris VP pick's 'radical' COVID-era policies

New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/16/not-my-governor-minnesota-small-business-owner-rips-harris-vp-picks-radical-covid-era-policies/

'Not my governor': Minnesota small business owner rips Harris VP pick's 'radical' COVID-era policies

COTTONWOOD COUNTY FAIR, Minn. – A local small business owner railed against Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz as “the worst governor we’ve ever had in Minnesota.” Diane Kruger, who runs a business selling Scentsy products in Minnesota, detailed how she feels negatively impacted by Walz’s policies since he took office.”He has ruined our state. I am angry and disgusted,” Kruger told Fox News Digital while working her booth at the Cottonwood County Fair in Minnesota. “Him and the Democrats, once they got the trifecta in the House and Senate and the governor, they have absolutely ruined our state. We are now probably more communist than California.”Kruger said that her business is still recovering in the aftermath of policies enforced by Walz during the coronavirus pandemic.FORMER MINNESOTA RESIDENT UNLOADS ON GOV WALZ AFTER MOTHER DIED ‘OF LONELINESS’ DURING PANDEMIC”During COVID year of 2020, my business income fell by at least 50% because when he shut down the economy in Minnesota in March, I couldn’t do any house parties. I couldn’t do any shows. I couldn’t do any events,” Kruger said. “And I still haven’t recovered from that.”RURAL RESIDENTS REVEAL HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT GOV. WALZ’S ‘VERY LIBERAL’ POLICIES: ‘WE’RE MINI CALIFORNIA’Kruger also said Walz pushed “radical” policies in the state after expanding access to abortion and requiring school bathrooms to keep tampons in male restrooms for transgender-identifying individuals.”Walz is the worst governor we’ve ever had in Minnesota. I don’t care what anybody says,” she said. “I always called him tyrant Timmy or dictator Walz. I wouldn’t call him Governor Walz because he’s not my governor.”The Minnesotan added that she believes “we won’t have a country left” if Walz is elected as the vice president in November.Kruger added that a Harris-Walz administration would make the United States a “communist country within a year” and would be the “worst thing that we’d never, probably ever get our country back.”Several small business owners and residents in Minnesota have talked to Fox News Digital in recent days and have echoed Kruger’s sentiment about Walz’s tenure as governor. Rep. Pete Stauber, who represents Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital he has “talked to a lot of businesses that either have left or, when they expand, are not expanding in Minnesota.””He’s supported the highest income tax rate in the nation at 10%, he has taken a $19 billion surplus and the next year added a $10 billion tax on the hardworking Minnesotans,” he added.Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak previously told Fox News Digital that “Gov. Walz led Minnesota back with strong leadership, competent management, and smart policies — cutting taxes for working families and reaching the lowest state unemployment rate in recorded history.”Long Her, owner of New Fashion Tailoring and Alteration in St. Paul, Minnesota, told Fox News Digital that he watched hopelessly as his St. Paul establishment was destroyed during the 2020 George Floyd riots and that Walz failed to protect business owners like him.Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris-Walz campaign.

PRAISE FOR Inflorescence: The Pasture at Rest by Marjorie Gowdy

In Inflorescence: The Pasture at Rest Marjorie Gowdy immerses us in farmland and mountainside, with images and patterns timeless as the land itself. As she ambles “among the chest-high Susans,” or smells the “Flattened streams of smoked ham reach toward the vale,” she pulls us along with her. Marjorie writes the tender side of life, from bees and barn swallows to hands touching “beneath the ivy tree, years wrapped around a patient poplar.” Listen, too, for her condemnation of “Man’s callow disregard,” both for the Earth and for each other. In “A Murmuration” Marjorie writes “‘Tis not wit nor skill that keeps me alive,” but wit and skill are certainly alive in her writing. I for one, dear reader, am grateful Marjorie Gowdy is sharing her wit and wisdom in these poems.

–Pamela Brothers Denyes, Author, The Right Mistakes and The Widow’s Lovers

What a marvelous poet. Marjie Gowdy reminds me of the great Romantic poets, especially, John Clare, for she can name every flower and tree around her. She paints an indelible stamp. Only a seasoned florist and botanist could write powerful nature poems like these. She can be succinct and terse as Emily Dickinson. In thinking about her father in” Inflorescent”, she laments “Flowers return. He does not.” It reminds me of Emily who said “I heard a fly buzz before I died.” Buy this chapbook. It is worth far more than its listed price.

–Maurice Ferguson, Poetry Editor, Artemis

This book reflects the beauty of the natural world based on the knowledge and experiences of a seasoned gardener. The author treats every element nature as though they are old family friends. There is a kindness and appreciation of both the flora and fauna in the author’s world that is captivating and inspiring. The writing is beautiful and takes the reader into a world rich in complexity and subtlety that makes this poetry compelling.

–Peter Haslett Kelly, Poet and Composer
