The Boys
Just finished season 2 of The Boys. If you’re not familiar with it, the show is a dark take on superheros (kind of in line with Watchmen, if not quite as complex). Overall I would say it was good, rating about an 8 out of 10. Not quite as good as the he first season, but way better than the last Garth Ennis adaption “Preacher”.

Lovecraft Country
I had such high hopes for this series. The first episode was amazing and exactly what I hoped was in store. Sadly, it didn’t take long for the series to descend into B-movie nonsense.
There are some amazing actors (especially Michael Kenneth Williams), and a descently likable cast, but the story just isn’t there.
Lovecrafts main theme and true uniqueness was his concept of mind numbing, and unkowable terror. Ancient creatures that were alien to anything we could conceive that madness was the only escape.
Blood, gore, goofy cults, surreal David lynch moments, and some Evil Dead style campiness just do not cut it

The Joy of Pain-ting
The last commission during the lockdown before I returned to tattooing , this was a logo design for the latest project by Schnitzel Studios, a program that will feature various artists conducting tutorials.

Impact
The book took me on a roller coaster ride that was really building up into something significant, right until the ending. It was like the feeling I had with Game of Thrones. A little bit of a smoother ride, as the denouement was kind of a fizzle instead of a slam/bang, tight ending, but it harbored so much potential in those page turning, early chapters that the ending was a bit of a let down.
