losing #mermay

Digital painting of a colossal half man, half sea creature, encountering a small fishing boat, piloted by a single fisherman. The sea creature is a man with long wavy hair; his human torso breaching the water surface, and his cephalopod half submerged in water, his gigantic tentacles conjuring violent waves that accost the unfortunate seafarer.

Part 3 in my king/knight series, this one titled "Ministrations" 😁 👑❤️⚔️

The partially disrobed king kneels before his knight; he is helping remove the knight’s armor, with his head resting against the knight’s thigh as he carefully unbuckles the leg armor. His hair is loose and tousled and he is smiling. The image is cropped at the knight’s waist, but we can see that the knight is shirtless and that most of his armor had already been removed. The knight and reaches a hand down through the top of the king’s crown to run his hands through the king’s hair while simultaneously beginning to slide the crown from the king’s lowered head.

Writers Guild of America East

@wgaeast.bsky.social

The following is a statement from the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) on Paramount’s Decision to Cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.

On July 2nd, Paramount agreed to settle a baseless lawsuit brought against 60 Minutes and CBS News by President Trump for $16 million. On July 15, during a regular show of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Colbert went on-air and called the settlement a “big fat bribe” in exchange for a favorable decision on the proposed merger between Paramount and Skydance, a charge currently under investigation in California.

Less than 48 hours later, on July 17, Paramount canceled The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, a show currently performing first in its timeslot, giving vague references to the program’s “financial performance” as the only explanation. For ten years, the show has been one of the most successful, beloved and profitable programs on CBS, entertaining an audience of millions on late night television, on streaming services and across social media.

Given Paramount’s recent capitulation to
President Trump in the CBS News lawsuit, the
Writers Guild of America has significant concerns that The Late Show’s cancelation is a bribe, sacrificing free speech to curry favor with the Trump Administration as the company looks for merger approval.

Cancelations are part of the business, but a corporation terminating a show in bad faith due to explicit or implicit political pressure is dangerous and unacceptable in a democratic society. Paramount’s decision comes against a backdrop of relentless attacks on a free press by President Trump, through lawsuits against CBS and ABC, threatened litigation of media organizations with critical coverage and the unconscionable defunding of PBS and NPR.

The Writers Guild of America calls on New York State Attorney General Letitia James, no stranger to prosecuting Trump for illegal business practices, to join California and launch an investigation into potential wrongdoing at Paramount. We call on our elected leaders to hold those responsible to account, to demand answers about why this beloved program was canceled and to assure the public that Colbert and his writers were not censored due to their views or the whims of the President.

In the meantime, the Writers Guild of America will support our members at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and across the late-night industry as they speak truth to power and we will explore all potential legal and political avenues to fight for our members in the aftermath of this decision.

Forest Patrol, or: Frogbert's first hunting expedition. 😆

(Personal work)

The setting is a misty forest with birch trees. We see a female rider on a red horse, in a Mongolian steppe inspired outfit, holding her gloved hand out for a falcon-like bird to settle on. Next to her is a little frog character riding a chicken, who's similarly having a sparrow fly to him. In the distance, another rider with a hunting falcon.

The past leaves its stitches on the future.

Fashion in Hopetown pulls from real historical British style movements & twists them through an alternate timeline. Expect grit and grandeur, practical wear & symbolic flair.

From coal-slick coats to heritage punk influences, every piece tells a story.
