This is a fascinating documentary about Todd Mcfarlane, Creator of Spawn, founder of Image comics and McFarlane Toys. I wish the documentary would do more than gloss over his struggles including coming out of bankruptcy, but it’s a great look at his rise in the industry and the changes he made. I remember the boom that came with Image and then the fall of the comics industry that happened later, partly because of the success.

Today in the mail I got a neat package from The Drunken Dragon Hotel
For those who know the history of the Marriot Carpet and it’s relationship to the con, this site is the place to get your tiki shirts ordered.
Today is a little unique. It features paper towel art of Christopher J Garcia . He is a very well known member of the fandom community, a prominent maker of fanzines and other works. He won the Hugo for best Fanzine in 2011. So it’s safe to say he’s known for writing.
Sometime during the pandemic he started posting these Paper Towel Art pieces on his facebook and instagram. At first it is easy to slide right down your feed and say hey pretty, but with the consistency of output and the the actual work continuing you have to pause and admire what he is creating. I like that its a creative output being documented and some of them just shine with other stories. I see Avengers. I see Xmen. I see space and hope, and joy.
Anyway, if you want to check out his works you’ll need to see his facebook feed or Instagram and enjoy some paper towel art colors.

The Montview Neighborhood in Asheville, NC has decided to do something pretty neat in these Covid times. The houses starting at #5 Montview Drive and going all the way to #77 have started Storylane, a walk through the neighborhood story.
Different pages are in front of each house so the young ones don’t have to walk far until they get the next page. It adds a little bit of adventure to the story. The neighborhood plans on changing the stories every couple weeks so if you can , stop by for a stroll and a book.
