I make art with action figures and other stuff.
Painted up a Beasts of the Mesozoic T-Rex to look like John Conway’s “Sleepy Stan” from All Yesterdays
Multiple generations raised in abstinence sex education, including in secular public schools like mine, and now the weirdos are like “Can’t you people fuck some more?”
Every company announced an Absolute Batman figure at SDCC, so I guess I better get as much mileage as I can out of my customs until they start hitting
My take on the killer Nick Dragotta-drawn Joker and Bruce confrontation from last month’s Absolute Batman
The energy of my two year old tonight refusing to get off his tricycle, two hours after his bedtime, while we are all being eaten alive by mosquitoes
Cast yourself as a villain (props to anyone who recognizes this absolute dawg)
Mfw I’m getting a package off the porch and my wife asks if it’s another action figure
New entry in my long-running “Obi Wan in Exile” series
Absolute Diana on the River Styx @kellythompson.bsky.social @cleanlined.bsky.social
Couple new Absolute Batman customs and shots. Still working on Troll Doll Two Face, but I thought it was cool enough to post
Watched the Beastmaster 4K from @vinsyn.bsky.social last night. Great looking movie, blown away by the scale and scope, sometimes disturbed by some of the obvious distress the animals were in and baffled by the completely unnecessary choice to make Beastmaster fall in love with his first cousin
I see Benjamin Netanyahu’s decades-long effort to undermine the Democratic Party and tie his political fate to Donald J. Trump is working out spectacularly. Trying to imagine the nuclear meltdown at the WSJ and on Fox News if these words came out of a Democratic Presidential Administration
I’ve always enjoyed Nevill a lot, but with about 100 pages to go, Cunning Folk is like a 10/10 horror novel
There was an also a fun 90’s toy line for adults, way ahead of its time, called “Middle Earth Toys.” Unfortunately only made a couple waves, although they had plans for more.
Find creators you like, especially regular art/writer collaborators, and let that be your guide. You’ve got a lot of the canonical classics down, but you may want to read some Garth Ennis, Kieron Gillen, and Ed Brubaker. Providence is also Alan Moore’s late period masterpiece if you fuck w Lovecraft
Shout out to the Dads making sure their sons are aware of the threats Xenomorphs can pose to their safety and well-being
Not a single ball-knower responding with Jan Duursema and John Ostrander’s Republic comics, aka Clone Wars For Baddies
Nobody will ever dampen my enthusiasm for Star Wars, which is at its core a sublime synthesis of past and future, East and West, and still sparks cross-generational joy like nothing else on the pop culture landscape.
Couple shots of the Muff Toys “Kane The Postman,” aka Marv from Sin City. Very good figure, although I’m anticipating the greyscale Mezco version a bit more
Shot the new Four Horsemen Studios Infinite Legions figures. Great figures, as you’d expect, but if your game is popping and swapping, your joints ideally shouldn’t need a bunch of heat and the force of heavy machinery to, you know, do it.
Watching The House with Laughing Windows-great giallo, very moody-but the lead character is restoring a painting in a church and the fresco is reminding me of movies or shows about a fictional pop star where their big hit song sucks. Just looks goofy
Watched a couple new favorites this week. #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
