I draw things and am obsessed with movies starring long-dead actresses.
I did quite a lot of reading on holiday. (Not pictured, at least 300+ issues of various X-men comics). 4 wonderful Muriel Spark novels. 1 terrific biography of La Spark by @drjamesbailey.bsky.social 1 masterpiece adapted into another masterpiece of desperation actressing, THE HOURS!
I travelled all the way to Southeast Asia and just about the only souvenir I got was this essential piece of memorabilia from mom*. *Shirley.
My glasses broke in a rather undignified fashion. (Already ordered a replacement pair).

Had a terrific day this week hanging out with the one and only @mattbaume.bsky.social !
Jean’s lazy little telekinetic levitating crouch “run” through the backstreets of Cairo is taking me out.
Lerner & Loewe, you managed to broker peace between Democrats and Republicans before. We need you to do that once again!
Learning just now that Virginia and Leonard Woolf published the first novella that Sally Bowles appeared in and I somehow knew “that makes sense”.
And we get a (now very rare) instance of Coolidge speaking with her normal voice too:
The youtube recording is great because there's a discussion about the play in the middle with the cast, moderated by Jason Alexander.
Me last Saturday with my elegant, statuesque but still sparking daughter:
I'm currently quite in need of some substantial freelance, contract or agency work. If you or anyone you know is looking for a very experienced illustrator, designer and animator then feel free to get in touch.
Special shout out to my MOTHER, Geraldine Page, in her iconic turn as my *other* MOTHER, Alexandra Del Lago:
