“AND SERIOUSLY: Fuck Muse. And The Darkness. And ska of ANY fucking sort.”
—From design hero Aaron Draplin’s “superpost” about his UK jaunt.
“
Try drawing animals— it always loosens me up & produces some interesting results..
… or pick the ONE thing totally outside your comfort zone and draw NOTHING but that until you eventually master it.
” —Illustrator Chris Battle’s cure for art block.
“I’m significantly more naked in all the other shots taken that day. Hope that’s cool with ya’ll.”
—Sarah Ritz, of the Me In My Place Food Blog and a Me In My Place photo subject who recently did another set of photos. For the record, I’m very cool with that. The original post can be found here.
Pocky.
I was looking at this post by Faren, and was reminded of the time I got a king’s ransom of Pocky on the day I got laid off. Pocky is good for forgetting how shitty your life is/can be.
“…Big Brain really did live up to the hype. Michael Drivas is a really cool guy (first important thing for a good shop). His shop is extraordinarily well-stocked (second important) and he knows where everything is (third). It’s well-lit, has high-ceilings, and most importantly is CLEAN and doesn’t SMELL LIKE ANYTHING, two things comics shops struggle with.”
—Cartoonist Dustin Harbin on Big Brain Comics, a store I love.
“
Gordy was the best teenage wrestler that I ever saw in our business. Bam Bam was a natural and had amazing, organic timing in the ring and never played the role of a pro wrestler. What you saw in the ring was who he was. Unfortunately, as so many in the business have experienced, starting out so young and with all the curves in the road, Terry made some bad decisions during his career that shortened his life. That’s another reason why I am of the belief that it is much better for an athlete to have completed their college degree or developed a secondary skill before embarking on a career as challening as wrestling/sports entertainment.
So, no, I am not for teenagers attempting to break in to pro wrestling full time.
” —Jim Ross on Terry Gordy, one of the best big men to step into the squared circle. The full blog post is here.
