#WearAMask Poster Project
I got so sick of seething inside at all the unmasked runners and laxly-masked-if-at-all individuals seen wandering my little corner of NYC that I made a series of FREE-to-download posters encouraging every citizen to wear a mask and wear it properly. Also available in black and white, for your home-coloring pleasure. They’re meant to be displayed in close proximity to each other as duos or larger sets – a perfect example next to an imperfect example. Compare and contrast.
Share em! Hang em up in spots where the unmasked and improperly masked might get the message…
Totally unnecessary, but if you do print and post, I’d love to see snapshots
Here’s a link to the folder that has em all.

Last play in NYC = 1st coronavirus comic
I wasn’t anticipating that an assignment to report on an Off-Off-Broadway play by a visiting Japanese company would turn into a coronavirus era comic about the shut down of New York City, nor that it would take me over a month to produce 12 panels… (mostly just thinking and avoiding, though once I mustered the wherewithal, I spent a bit more time homeskoooling myself on a digital coloring and correcting program)
Read the rest on Book + Film Globe…

COVID-19-era Birthday Wish
Know what I want for MY BIRTHDAY Sunday? I want you to buy a zine (or book or some paper-based oddity) from Quimby’s Bookstore, a longtime supporter of The East Village Inky & 1000s of zinemakers the world over.
This is in lieu of a Facebook fundraiser or donation solicitation- I figure everyone’s hand’s out, and everyone who can is putting their dwindling funds where they feel it’s needed, and need no further lobbying from me.
SO
Treat yourself by following my orders (always!). Discover some weird new thing, or revisit a beloved weird old thing. Your purchase, no matter how small, will benefit a rad & venerable independent bookstore. Get a zine. Get mail (unless you want do Chicago curb service, or alternatively are picking up necessary supplies at Crest Hardware & Urban Garden Center in Brooklyn, where Quimby’s Bookstore NYC has a pop up.
Extra credit: make the birthday girl’s day by hipping her to what you chose.
Extra extra credit: Get inspired to make a zine your own damnself and send me a copy whenever it rolls off the press.
Go big with the Qustomized Quimby’s Quarantine Zine Pack – manager Liz Mason will tailor make the zinely equivalent of pinata full of surprises based on your tastes, kinks and interests.

The Turning vs. a far superior adaptation of The Turn of the Screw
I’m uniquely qualified to review The Turning for Book & Film Globe because my frequent co-star John St Angelo & I played Miles and Flora in the Innocents at Indianapolis Civic Theater in 1977.
John St Angelo & Ayun Halliday in The Innocents, Indianapolis Civic Theater, 1977(Not that we can hold a candle to Brooklynn & the kid from Stranger Things…)
