Summer is approaching so that means another round of Jonathan Toubin's Sunday Soul Scream at Our Wicked Lady in East Williamsburg's industrial zone is upon us.

We bounced back and forth between using these party frogs and King Kong but the frogs just looked like too much fun to pass on. Pulled some inspiration from mid-century design on hotel bar matchbooks while still keeping it recognizable as my Soul Scream poster work. I'm always battling with my desire to make these with a more minimal palette every year (2-3 colors max) and my inevitable slide into using 5, 6, 7 + colors. It's just the battle I go through with wanting to render something completely and create a striking graphic image.

Anyways, the party kicks off on Sunday May 28th and goes on every summer Sunday up to Sept 3rd. Be sure to follow the Sunday Soul Scream instagram to see what bands and guests dee jays will be appearing every Sunday night.

Ink - "Shifting Light" From the album Ink (2000)

Last song scrobbled from iTunes at Last.fm

Words that come to mind are: eerie uncanny frigid metallic stunning wire chilling chilly scary and inhuman. This album reminds me of the everpresent icy fog in Erik Skoldbjaerg's Insomnia, motive and truth are obscured by the omnipresent white. I'll say "stunning" again and will go further by writing that I have not been so blown away by a debut record since Pavement's

How Concerned Citizens Drove a Neo-Nazi Out of Rural Maine

Christopher Pohlhaus planned to build a fascist training compound in the woods of rural Maine. The local journalists, veterans, lumberjacks, and policymakers weren't having it.

Pohlhaus, 37, is a former U.S. marine, an itinerant tattoo artist, and a hardcore white-supremacist influencer. He is loud and hostile, and proud to be both. His voice is pitched surprisingly high, and he has a slight Southern drawl. He has a large body and small bald head; a blue-black tattoo crawls up the right side of his face, from his chin to his forehead. Over the years, Pohlhaus has collected thousands of social media followers, who know him by his nickname: Hammer.

Hammer had been living in Texas for a few years when, in March 2022, he bought the land in Maine. He told his followers that he was going to use it to build a haven, operational center, and training ground for white supremacists.

Since there's a resurgence of readership of my Villy fanfic (V.A. Vandevere x Milly Farrier age 18 = Villy) Baby, Mine, I decided to reblog this.

I did hear from a friend who works media in L.A. that Michael Keaton had read something I wrote for him about V.A. moving like a snake. ( I can't give more detail because I'm anonymous). He loved it so much he brightened up during the press conference with the Dumbo cast that was filmed immediately after he read it. In the interview, Keaton said he wanted to be "the snake. Not the snake handler, but the snake." Everyone was confused and his comment fell flat, but I knew he was referring to what I'd written. :-)

It's in this clip at 4:09.

Keaton fans, there's some good crotch-watching in this video. ;-) @liquidloz @youkickedandcried @yunafire

My “Dumbo” art.

I was cleaning out my folders and found art I did of Dumbo 2019 and Villy.  I got into the fandom 3 years ago this month, before the movie even opened!

I was on Twitter in 2019.  I did cartoons of the characters reading for First Book’s Magical Adventure Sweepstakes (promo narrated by Michael Keaton).  First Book promoted these, and I received a nice note from actor Frank Bourke, asking if he could use the Puck cartoon as his avatar.  Of course I said yes, I was honored!  He used it on Twitter and Instagram.

I never did get around to doing a cartoon of Holt, I don’t know why.

Soon after I deleted my Twitter account, so all those posts are gone.

I didn’t have a scanner at the time, so all the photos were taken with a clunky old digital camera.

Nico Parker.

Sharon Rooney.

Roshan Seth.

Frank Bourke.

DeObia Oparei.

Danny DeVito.

Eva Green.

Michael Keaton.

Keaton and DeVito did this Dumbo promo:

so I tweeted this cartoon for First Books.

A Dumbo cast members told me both Keaton and DeVito loved it, but I can’t confirm that (I don’t believe it).

After reading bad reviews of Michael Keaton’s accent as VAV, I tweeted these.  A friend who’s an actor in L.A. urged me to send the art to Keaton’s rep agency.  For the hell of it, I did.  No idea if his rep’s office ever received them, of if he ever saw them.  Considering he must get bags of fan mail, I doubt very much he’s seen them.  Just as well; I drew the art fast, and it’s not my best work.

My first Villy art.

I drew these for Chapter 5 of my fanfic, Baby, Mine.

This scene from Chapter 5 kept getting fl@gged by Villy-antis because of the “explicit” parts, until finally my whole original blog went down.

Here’s most of it (explicit parts removed).

After:

I saw lots of Disney Villains t-shirts, but none for my fav bad guys.  So I designed my own.

もともとは10年ほど前にTumblrにすごくハマっていて。いろんな人をフォローしたらかっこいい写真や色が洪水のように出てきて、もう自分で絵を描かなくて良いじゃん、ってなったんです。それで何年も画像を集めていって、そこで集まった色のイメージやモチーフ、レンズの距離感など画面構成を抽象化して、いまの感覚にアウトプットしています。画像の持つ情報量というものが作品の影響になっていますね。

XO, KITTY — 1.09 “SNAFU”

[philashworth]

Wrapped up this "Welcome 2 Jonestown" poster a few weeks ago and am finally getting around to posting it; it's been a hectic month and a half but things are calming down slightly. James Jones is back with his annual birthday celebration with several of his own projects on the 1st night at TV EYE and some friend's bands to pack out the 2nd night at THE BROADWAY of this 2-night music event. Should be a pretty wild time for fans of prog/jazz/metal mash-up. When an event this size comes along, there are bound to be some changes with venues, line-up and just general disregard for double checking the spelling of bands names, so don't be confused by all of the process pics. The image at the very top is the final version with correct spelling and venues for each night.
