A digital rough sketch from a while back (maybe 2 years??) that I never posted cause I get worried about what people think, but screw it. Here’s this burlesque dancer I drew. And the initial sketch I started with.

Saw Sinners today. No spoilers here. A fantastic film from start to finish. Ryan Coogler is a powerhouse. Michael B Jordan is mesmerizing to watch. I was blown away by Wunmi Mosaku who played a stunning character. And damn, Miles Caton was incredible. His voice, his emotion, his talent. Brilliant.

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Today, my students are reading Victor LaValle’s Destroyer as we discuss literary adaptations of Frankenstein as well as discourse on police brutality and systemic racism. This graphic novel is brilliant and beautiful in numerous ways. Read it if you haven’t yet!
