Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and His Inimitable Stair Dance

Early in his dancing career, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson performed on a custom double staircase that added drama to his act, increasing his visibility to the audience while amplifying the sound of every step he made.

“As generations of imitators would learn to their grief, the properties of the staircase that magnified Robinson’s mastery equally magnify the slightest imperfection,” wrote Brian Seibert, in his book What the Eye Hears. “Dancers tell a story in which he had his musicians cut out for three and a half minutes while he continued dancing. After the allotted time, the musicians came back in, cued by a metronome that Robinson couldn’t hear. He was exactly on beat.”

You wrote a novel about a demon falling in love with a human. Then, you summon a demon in order to get “real” feedback and constructive criticism. To your surprise, the demon laughs at your work.

I didn’t come here to fucking cry, alright?

I’ve just realised. Stan Lee will have a cameo in every single one of the MCU films from the original generation, but he wont be in any of the new gen films. Avengers 4 marks the end of the road for some of the OG Avengers, and it’s also the end of the road for Stan.

They’ve already got Captain Marvel ready to go, and they’ve finished all the filming for Avengers 4, so he’ll be in both of those movies, but then everything that comes after – Spidey Far From Home and onwards – he wont be in. All the new gen films.

What I’m saying is, whichever original Avengers we permanently lose in A4, we’re losing Stan at the same time. He’s going out at the same time as them. A4 marks the end of an era, and that’s the film that his cameos will end with. That’s….. actually kind of fitting, really. He’s going out at the end of an era.

I think there’s something to be said about how much you can plan a trip, what you think you need and what you want to see. You can put all the effort, thought and research into things, but when push comes to shove you’re out there, and things change. Sometimes it’s for the better and sometimes it’s frustratingly worse, but it’s all a part of the journey.

The Moment is a short film that’s about just this. With the support of a Sprinter van from VanCraft, we spent 5 weeks getting as deep into the North American winter as we could, in an attempt to find out what really inspires us as respective filmers, photographers and skiers…

Trying out something different for the clouds~

Comics I drew in top surgery recovery, 4/4 (More here, or read them all in order here.)

Just before top surgery 1 year ago, I wrote down memories and drew them in recovery just after. I couldn’t really say in words how I feel, but wanted to try to capture some tiny sense of it.

The American Gods comic is really good, guys.
