Shop Talk With Colleen Doran

Standing between Superman and Wonder Woman is Supergirl, in her glasses-wearing secret identity of artist Colleen Doran.

Superman, Supergirl, and Wonder Woman. 😉

Colleen’s Patreon page is accessible under my “Links” header and, yes, I am one of her supporters. I have always enjoyed watching people drawing and talking about drawing, which is what Colleen does in this video she posted a few days ago.

This painting is Colleen’s wraparound cover for ‘The Aria’, Book 3 of ‘A Distant Soil’, her self-described space opera. The original hangs in my living room.

Kim Wexler, the lawyer of your — well, my — dreams.

Her Cute Snubbed Nose

I don’t get outraged when the Academy Awards show fails to include the name of a dearly departed, but why overlook Carol Lynley?

‘Better Call Saul’ returns! Season 5 of the series that is better than my most optimistic hope — better than ‘Breaking Bad’ in my opinion — starts in less than 2 weeks, on the 23rd. I’m especially looking forward to the opening scene, depicting the life in hiding of Jimmy/Saul/Gene. Season 4’s memorable opening began with this song.
