@pinocastellano @IllusDept TEN YEARS! Congratulations, my man!

Today marks the ten-year anniversary of the founding of the @IllusDept. To my wife (who keeps it running), to every illustrator we’ve worked with, to the podcast listeners, Substack subscribers, Thursday night critique groups, and all-around supporters: Thank you.

@DrPatersonCBL @NHTSCHOOLS @helenpaynehp Oh my gosh! Best visit ever!

@vickyweberbooks Oh man. People suck.

After a nasty, unsolicited email this morning, I’m expanding my #MSWL Wishlist: beyond genre, authors who are nice. Not for me: -Authors who don’t think I’m a person -Authors who treat others poorly -Authors who think they are better than everyone else. 😔

@Leti9901 @MyTimeToShineH THANK YOU. You and I are apparently the only ones who remember this.

Is there any other well known black vampire beside Blade?

@selinaknope I have a long-time friend who is also an ex, and I call her the same abbreviated name I've always used...when you're with someone a long time you develop a shorthand. I thought it was a great episode. Amy is so baller. I'm glad they've found a path forward for their kids sake.

the concept of having your ex wife on your podcast and calling her a cute little nickname the whole time

@Acyn All they do is attack the intellect of women. The amount of people that I heard say "Kamala is nothing but word salad" because they got delivered the same idiotic talking points over & over, don't understand that their own simple ideas are... well... simple, annoys me to no end.

Kennedy: If you scratch the surface, you get more surface. I don't think she has the intellectual firepower to run a campaign or to be president.

Wow! Watch this.

Check out the The Illustration Department's woefully wonderful podcast of Edward Gorey's 100th bday gala. There was a plenteousness of mink coats. Bat-themed turbans portended doom. Subscribe while you're there... ere you perish. #edwardgorey illustrationdept.com

@MChowdry @highbrow_nobrow Visited the Louvre, and the first thing I stumbled on was the stele of Hammurabi. I was stunned. It was just... THERE. The first recorded law of Western civilization. Didn't even know it was in the museum. Meanwhile, you couldn't even get close to the Mona Lisa. shocking.

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) signs state law requiring the public display of the Ten Commandments in state public schools: “If you want to respect the rule of law, you’ve got to start from the original lawgiver, which was Moses." (2024)

@MTPSPrincipal Thank you for having me!!!! GO GRIFFINS!

Thank you Middletown Village PFA for sponsoring our author assembly with @jaycooperart! Our students had a blast learning about the writing process! #MTPSPride #MVSGriffins

@VinceWilsonShow @Acyn They are literally blaming Zelensky for this. WTF.

@Acyn When you lose Fox News and Karl Rove you know it was bad.

Rove: But the only winner out of today is Vladimir Putin. This is a mistake to have it broadcast. It is a mistake for Zelenskyy to get his dander up. And it was a mistake for the president, vice president to be so public in their comments. This was not a moment that should have been televised

@NickBrownCO @the47focus Go to hell.

The first four days of the Trump Administration have been packed with news. That's why I'm excited to launch: @the47focus, a daily (M-F) newsletter delivered at ~noon that highlights the story of the day from the 47th President. Subscribe now: the47.substack.com

@Acyn The fucking Fox apologists. NO. The mistake wasn't televising... the mistake was electing goddamn compromised idiots into the White House. Screw these d-bags.

@Cliffor18175753 @BackintheBronze I have a Ron Wilson recreation of this cover. Would LOVE to own the original, but I'll take what I can get.

@BackintheBronze Two in One annual 7 is one of the greatest done in one superhero fight comics of the 80s. Up there with Spider-Man's battle with Fire Lord, also written by DeFalco. The Marvel version of Rocky.

Ron Wilson! Ron Wilson's art graced many memorable covers back in the Bronze Age! Known for his magnificent depictions of The Thing in Two-In-One and also in Ben's eponymous title, Ron Wilson was very prolific and touched a lot of other titles. What are Wilson's best covers?

@Jason_Sandberg @BackintheBronze My all time favorite!!!!!!

@BackintheBronze RON WILSON!

@DanBoyWonder It's my second favorite after the Batman series. Just a chef's kiss of a show!

I’ve been binging Batman: Brave and the Bold and like why isn’t it ever considered one of the best DC cartoons?

@Chris_Giarrusso Chris, these are truly dang amazing, indeed!

@pinocastellano This is the kind of photo that appears in the opening or end credits of a really good movie. Tears were shed. Good tears.

Me, my girlfriend (now wife), and my best friend (still best friend, and my son’s godfather). Graduation day. 1999. RISD. Good times.
