Some news: our lease on Beach Street is coming to an end so we're closing up shop this Sun., Aug. 2, and looking towards our next chapter. Thanks for your support; we'll stay in touch. cartoonart.org/press-releases/2026/7/31/cartoon-art-museum-update-closing-a-chapter
The night was cold and dark. “Listen to the wind howling in the trees,” said Frog. “What a fine time for a ghost story.”
Disdain because it’s perceived as a children’s medium and because at some level, the suits’ disdain for work done by craftspeople.
One animator put it plainly: “You have no idea how frustrating it is to see press release after press release touting how much money our animated film made and how many nominations we got; then [the studio] turns to people who have worked here forever and says, ‘We don’t need you anymore.’” Heh.

and if you'd like to support Adam--one of the best cover artists working today--through his battle against cancer, buy yourself a little something from his shop! He's a good egg and getting sick or injured as a freelancer is incredibly stressful. www.adamhughesofficial.com/post/cancer-...
Cancer, chemo and commissions
In an update directly from Adam, we learn that he still has cancer and can't enjoy cold drinks.

High five to @bootsriley.bsky.social —just caught #ILoveBoosters at the Chinese in Hollywood—extra high fives for the Tune-Yards score and the balls to pull it all together
”Circle of Love” by Constantin Alajalov- Saturday Evening Post Cover, April 8, 1961
UPDATE! STARDUST has been removed from the Eisner Awards ballot. Hoping the Awards make a public statement of some sort to own the initial shenanigans.
eisner awards need to get it the fuck together or else change their name to a worse cartoonist like idk the scott adams awards
The 2026 Eisner Nominations Includes the First Work Featuring AI?
Congrats to THIS INK RUNS COLD’s @josevillarrubia.bsky.social for his Eisner nomination for BEST COLORING, for TIRC and a ton of other incredible work! And congrats to all the nominees—I’m excited for TIRC to be represented by José and also to be a part of the Best Anthology nod, STARDUST!

I've talked with several friends, legit pros and even Eisner-winners, who were not registered to vote and had to apply…AND a lot of eligible folks haven't even heard this is an issue. The deadline is the day after tomorrow, so do it right now. (If you got the email below then you ARE registered lol)
🚨COMICS PROS🚨 🚨PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT🚨 The Eisners Awards purged their voter rolls this year and now you have to APPLY TO VOTE. For some reason they only sent this notice to voters already registered. 🤔 🚨YOU ONLY HAVE UNTIL NOMINEES ARE ANNOUNCED🚨 APPLY HERE: t.e2ma.net/click/hgj4fn...

In honor of Orson Welles' birthday, here's an obscure (and wonderful) TV pilot he wrote and directed, THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. (Produced by Desi Arnaz.) This was supposed to be the first episode of a Wellesian anthology series. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKjt...

It had been a couple weeks since I’d started the ‘51, but she rumbled to life and for a few minutes, I was with my Dad again, smelling his garage, and my childhood. As I walked back to the house, the first drops of rain changed the asphalt’s scent in another miraculous instant. I needed both.
Truth in advertising, this is actually how much money I make
The fabulous, if, yes, somewhat idiosyncratic, 1979 Hungarian movie poster for “Star Wars: A New Hope”, by András Felvidéki.
Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.
Love to all of those hit by the Disney wave today. Don’t let it define you.
Saddened to learn of the passing of the great #GaryKelley —a huge inspiration for me. We own two of his pieces—this is one, called “The Three Mikes”. His shapes, textures, compositions, and mood are always lingering in the back of my artist brain. Warm thoughts to his family, friends, and fans. #
A beautifully written look at our pal, Sam Kieth, from @cartoonart.bsky.social ‘s @andrewfarago.bsky.social : www.tcj.com/sam-kieth-ja...

Have you seen the great artwork created for Comic Con Oakland by the great @crazymorse.bsky.social? If not, then feast your eyes on this incredible illustration!
We’ve reached the point where my 20-yr-old and I are more excited about the out-of-print ELEPHANT MAN on the @criterionchannl.bsky.social being available than almost anything else.
Spring break is too short—especially when you’ve got a kid home from college. Bleh.
The year is 2030. I now own a home in every walkable US neighborhood, which I've paid for by selling rubber stamps that say "refused to release the Epstein files"
