Some pieces have made it back home.

Side quest completed - with updates to PLUGOarts.com too.

Spent this morning making some much needed updated to my website - this time it's my new ARTICLES section. I've been doing a good amount of movie reviews and other writing, so that should all be in one place too: plugoarts.com/blog/writing/

You might have caught my movie review of SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY. I titled it — The Spideyssey and the term seems to be catching on. #TheSpideyssey #spideyssey #spidermanbrandnewday #theodyssey plugoarts.com/blog/11037-2/

This is an old illustration of that famous scene in Tom Sawyer. Not quite as old as the book itself which celebrated 150 years just this June. Fun Fact: I used Samuel Langhorne Clemens' actual house as reference for the one you see in the background. #tomsawyer #KidsGN📚💬 #illustration #marktwain

Credit where credit is due. This year's #Barbenheimer is #Spideyssey

So who hasn’t decided if they plan to catch THE ODYSSEY? I lucked out, caught a screener and all I had to do was turn in a review. #theodyssey #odyssey #review www.kungfumagazine.com/news/feature...

There was one monster whose appearance in THE ODYSSEY was a little bit disappointing to me. So I went ahead and drew my own version. #mythical #theodyssey
