I couldn’t pass on the chance to add a couple more FERNANDO FERNANDEZ to my art stash- just love his art so much. 😍❤️
Here’s a romance cover he did in the 1970s. It almost looks like a McGinnis. Love the painted trees over a watercolored bg too.

Rogan: How does WiFi open up your blood-brain barrier?
RFK: with the WiFi password. It’s written under the modem you see..

A transcript of an exchange between RFK Jr and Rogan.
RFK: WiFi radiation opens up your blood/brain barrier so all these toxins that are in your body can now go to your brain.
Rogan: How does WiFi open up your blood-brain barrier?
RFK: now you’ve gone beyond my expertise

A message from the great Jane Goodall. A must watch from start to finish. ❤️

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Happy NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD Day to all those who celebrate. George Romero's classic (an all time fave of mine &one of the movies I've watched too many times to count) was released OTD 57 years ago. A couple of years ago I was lucky to do a theatrical re-release poster for it for @studiocanal.com

The poster artwork I created was not only used for the theatrical release of the movie but also for the cover of the blu-ray and dvd 4K restoration release. One of the coolest surprises was to find out these posters were printed to be displayed also in the backlit poster frames in the theaters :)
