Things We Saw Today: Check Out All the Amazing Art of #DrawingWhileBlack

https://www.themarysue.com/things-we-saw-today-drawingwhileblack/


Artist Annabelle H (username @sparklyfawn) started up the hashtag #DrawingWhileBlack to celebrate and appreciate black artists, including illustrators, painters, and graphic designers. The results have been spectacular, and I’ve been ooh-ing and aah-ing at my Twitter feed all day.

Below are just a few of the creators who posted in the tag so far, and the campaign will be going all weekend, so I encourage you to follow the tag and bring some beautiful art or new webcomics into your life – or, if you’ve got hiring power in a creative industry, hire some of these amazing artists.

  • Venture Brothers is coming back to Adult Swim…in approximately 422 days? So that sounds like some time in 2018? They continue to toy with us. (via Nerdist)
  • Darren Aranofsky’s Mother! reportedly received a hard-to-earn “F” from CinemaScore, the polling service which surveys opening-day audiences in randomly selected cities. (via The AV Club)
  • Well-loved character actor Harry Dean Stanton passed away at the age of 91 yesterday. io9’s Julie Muncy paid a really lovely tribute to the way that he injected life and personality into the portrayal of “average Joe” characters over his 50+-year career. Rest in peace, Harry.
  • Why hello there, Channing Tatum and your matching belt buckle and flask. 20th Century Fox released a clip of Tatum’s character confronting the Kingsmen from Kingsman: The Golden Circle (via io9)

Southern Fried Asian: Melissa Hung

https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2017/09/13/southern-fried-asian-melissa-hung/

This week on Southern Fried Asian, Keith talks to writer, editor, journalist, and Houston-native Melissa Hung about Hurricane Harvey and the resilience of her city.

Melissa shares why she wrote her love letter to Houston (5:30) and why she appreciates the city more as she’s gotten older (8:00). Then Keith and Melissa debate whether Texas is even part of the South (10:30) and why the politics of the South are the way they are (15:00). Later, they discuss anti-tiger-parenting (21:00) and the need for more diverse Asian American stories (27:00). Lastly, Melissa reveals her love of Tex-Mex (34:00) and lists some charities to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey (39:00).

Things We Saw Today: Jon Hamm Is Joining the Star Wars Universe as the Voice of Boba Fett!

https://www.themarysue.com/things-we-saw-today-jon-hamm-star-wars/

Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View is a collection of 40 stories, written by 40 authors, from the perspectives of 40 characters from the Star Wars universe. If that doesn’t sound exciting enough—first of all, I don’t understand you. But more importantly, the full cast for the audiobook has just been announced and holy wow is it amazing.

Jon Hamm is getting the most attention, and we are very excited to hear his Boba Fett! But check out the rest of the cast (including Neil Patrick Harris, Wil Wheaton, The Toast’s Mallory Ortberg, and Star Wars alum Ashley Eckstein).

I want to frame that, everything about it is so beautiful.

  • Blizzard says development is stalling on Overwatch because the game’s team is too busy patrolling the toxic behavior of its players. Hey trolls, you want more games? Stop being jerks. (via Polygon)
  • Exciting news! HBO has closed a development deal to adapt Nnedi Okorafor’s post-apocalyptic fantasy novel Who Fears Death into a series. Oh, and it’s being produced by some guy you might have heard of. (via Pajiba)
  • Major ups to Rose City Comic Con in Portland, which has banned all Nazi symbols and references, including old-school Hydra and Red Skull cosplay. Because Nazis aren’t fun. (via i09)
  • Wonder Woman 2 has brought on The Expendables’ Dave Callaham to write the script. That choice feels … underwhelming. (via Creators.co)
  • We haven’t waded into the mess happening over at Alamo Drafthouse and Birth.Movies.Death, but it’s, well, a horrible mess. (via Daily Beast)
  • Attention, witch enthusiasts with knowledge of 17th century archaic Latin and English! The Chicago Newberry Library would like your assistance in translating some spells. (via Nerdist)

That’s it on my end! What did you all see out there in your corners of the internet?
