We see here Joss Whedon, whose art has touched me, touching my art!
He got the NE Browncoat package today. Thanks to Shelley and Holly from the NE Browncoats for sending this and to Jaime Paglia for making the hand off.
My glee is euphoric.

The Scifi Channel is bringing back Farscape as a series of 10 “webisodes.” Not the exact format I was hoping for, but better than nothing. If they are as well-produced as the Razor “webisodes,” this should be frelling sweet.
The caricature will be back soon!
This past Friday (12/14) I joined a bunch of fans in Cambridge and we marched around the Harvard Lampoon building, picketing and rallying for writers to get a fair deal from studio corporations. At the heart of the matter is the piracy the studios are committing by selling the work of the writers on the internet, but not giving the writers their share of the money they make.
Hey, greedy media moguls, Rob Kutner said it best: Learn to share.
This article and video at wickedlocal is a great recap of the event: Backing writers, fans march on Harvard Square. I took photos, but none turned out as good as the photos in this great photo album of the rally.
Here’s my no-frills, unedited audio recording of the rally inside the church, with speeches from Jamie Paglia (Eureka), Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly) and Rob Kutner (Daily Show) and a question and answer session with the supporters.

This is the only video I shot, but it’s a poignant moment from Joss Whedon’s speech. Sorry for the shakiness.

These spook-tacular stamps featuring the famous Universal monsters crept into the US Ghost Office in 1997 and were loved by boys and ghouls everywhere! The original artwork for each image was painted with watercolor on paper by an artist named Thomas Blackshear II. My set is in pretty bad shape, so I thought I’d scan these stamps in while I still had them. I had a Frankenstein’s Monster mousepad, too, but it became really grimy from use. The only classic monster missing from this set, for me, is Creature from the Black Lagoon. Which one is your favorite? |
