New Blog!

Hi everyone,

Quick note: my blog has moved to dialmformichele.tumblr.com. That's right, I'm on Tumblr now with all the other cool cats. My old posts will stay here, but new posts will go over there, if you'd like to take a look.

Yours,
Michele

Fighting the System

Here are the two most recent posts from my film blog, where it's all about going up against the powers that be. First, an illustration for Terry Gilliam's imaginative dystopia BRAZIL:

 And also for the 1940 propaganda thriller, NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH:

Sir this is a mirror store

If Twitter were a comic, it might look something like Twitter: The Comic, a super awesome blog started by my brother @VectorBelly. Here is my contribution, based off of the super awesome tweet by @bugbucket. And if you're on the Tumblr, you can reblog it from here.

It's always exciting when I get to update the map on StatesThatAllowGayMarriage.com.

Happy Halloween

I don't know about you, but I'm celebrating this holiday with Roman Polanski's classic horror film, ROSEMARY'S BABY. You can read the review here on my film blog.

And here's the illustration I posted last month, for the 1948 crime drama, THE NAKED CITY. Best wishes to all those who are still stuck in this part of Manhattan without power.
