THE LAUNDRYMEN Books One & Two Wade and Bryan, supernatural monster hunters, return for a second thrilling adventure as THE LAUNDRYMEN!

I just backed THE LAUNDRYMEN Books One & Two on @kickstarter.com

Issue 1 made me so jealous when I first read it and @radchenka.bsky.social's hustle is inspiring. Back this book so you can say you knew them when!

Working on a comic loosely inspired by another historically minded architect, Augustus Pugin. The first arc explores Rochester Castle, but I'd love to take our heroes to Notre Dame or Carcassonne to meet Le-Duc.

Here's a sneak peak of page 2 by the talented @xavierdesveaux.bsky.social

Looking forward to this show. I was so surprised when I fist learned about Viollet-le-Duc's idealized and occasionally fantastical architectural restorations. It was the first thing to open my eyes to the complexities and responsibilities of preservation/restoration.

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

The largest infrastructure projects currently being built in the US appear to be data centers and detention centers. The AI boom has coincided with ICE becoming the most heavily funded government agency. It's hard not to see a connection: This is the architectures of digital fascism

Case Histories by Kate Atkinson. Doesn’t quite live up to the promise of the premise, but an engaging mystery nonetheless. The characters’ quirks feel earned and relationships evolve in fun and curious ways. Looking forward to Life after Life

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas. The book that defined a genre. Charming, if a bit uneven and on-the-nose. Could’ve used more from Nesta, the best character). I’m glad I read it but probably won’t continue the series. Oh, and one more thing: WHY DOES THE FATHER NOT HAVE A NAME?!?

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown. Cute. Quick read. Kid-friendly tale of found family and environmental interdependence against a subtle backdrop of late stage capitalism. My kid gave it to me and I wish they would read it.

Gothic Tales by Edgar Allan Poe: Two classics and one new-to-me story. Poe’s dilettantish interest in interior design and architecture shines through in this collection of tales where buildings become tombs.

4 book covers: Kate Atkinson's Case Histories, Gothic Tales from Edgar Allan Poe, The Wild Robot by Peter Brown and A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

January reads. Mostly finishing up the gifted books from the holidays. Not my usual, but each was worth reading.

The ‘88 castles are peak nostalgia for me. Loved those Robin Hood sets.

The Architectural Origins of the Daily Planet “Look! Up in the Sky!” “It’s a bird!” “It’s a plane!” “It’s a giant metal globe hurtling toward us that will surely result in our demise! Oop...Nevermind. All good."

A short history of the Daily Planet and the real-life buildings that inspired it.

Revisiting this old post while prepping some new comics—architecture writing.

Love what I've seen from IDW Dark. Rewatched Event Horizon recently and look forward to staying in this world for a while.

Lots of other great books from @averyhill.bsky.social publishing available through that kickstarter! Check it out!

Excited for this! I've been a fan of @zebko.bsky.social's for a while now. Commissioned a piece last year for an upcoming project and I can't wait to share it. It's perfect.

Oracles by Olivia Sullivan A graphic novel journey through the wilderness to face the complications and complexities of grief and loss

I just backed Oracles by Olivia Sullivan on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ave...

The Orson Welles film is a fascinating interpretation of the book. A very specific vision of a crumbling but oppressive system. Much of its imagery has stayed with me. Definitely worth a watch!

One of the best Cobra character designs. It’s always been a favorite and I still have one on my shelf. Looking forward to this!

Three emails and text message about a POTENTIAL snow day on Monday. I know I'm old, but it seemed to work fine when we'd just turn on the radio in the morning to find out.

This letter in the back of Swamp Thing 23 has to be from writer/filmmaker/Ann Arbor native David S. Goyer, right?

It’s that time of year in Philadelphia where “go birds” replaces hello and goodbye. It’s our Aloha.

I've been moving my comic library and trying to weed things out. I couldn't part with these single issues, but having it all together in an omnibus is still pretty tempting. Ambitious superhero storytelling at the grandest scale.

This sounds fun! Is there discussion about the books in the discord too, or is it only in patreon comments?

Speaking of 13, the Ashcan (loved it) introduced 12 killers. Is there a 13th? Or does the 13th family have a different role to play here?

This looks great!

Made in Delco - A Comic Anthology Delco: 1) An abbreviation for Delaware County, PA. 2) An attitude and way of life particular to the residents of said county.

I just backed Made in Delco from @jimmygaspero.bsky.social. Excited to read through such a wide range of genres from one writer. And how could I not support a fellow Delco Jimmy? www.kickstarter.com/projects/mad...

Let’s go Phils!

Wow. That stopped the scroll. And would definitely stand out on the shelf. Stunning work.

💪💪💪😮‍💨

Thanks so much! I truly appreciate the kind words. I’m so proud of that story but it’s been a tough act to follow.

Go birds!
