The editing of this video is hysterical and genius- they switch between so many editing styles to reflect exactly what kind of thing they're going for in each segment its GREAT.
The thing about Miss Piggy is that she kind of has a Roger Rabbit comedy superpower where she wins nearly any conceivable fight she's in. But unlike other characters of which that's true, like say, Bugs Bunny, who tend to win because they make the opponent play the game with their rules, Miss Piggy wins because the joke is that she can beat the shit out of literally anybody.
Restricting food Does Stuff To Your Brain. "Restricting" doesn't mean stopping when you're full. I feel like this is what gets misunderstood a lot. It means placing rules and limits on food that supercede what your body is signalling that it wants. Let's use cookies as an example. Restricting would be:
- I can only have cookies when I deserve them.
- I can only have cookies when I'm alone.
- I can only have two cookies.
- I can only have low-calorie cookies.
- I can only have cookies on set days, or so-called cheat days.
- I can't have cookies.
- I can't have cookies in the house.
- I'm bad when I eat cookies.
- Cookies are a bad food and I must compensate for having eaten them.
Whether or not you stick to the restrictions you set, your brain is learning to be an anxious mess around cookies. It might want to avoid anywhere that has cookies. It might feel shame for wanting or eating cookies. It might get exhausted from suppressing the craving and decide to binge. It might go into binge mode every time you eat cookies because you've taught your body that This Will Not Be Available Whenever. It might feel ridiculously important to eat all the cookies while you can.
I know we're all so used to constantly talking about food, diets, weight and bodies, and it's completely normalised to look at absolutely everything you eat and assign it the level of guilt you're gonna feel for eating it, and to brag about not eating this and that, and to announce that you know it's a Naughty Indulgence when you eat anything sweet.
But oh my god, it's such a huge weight off your shoulders to just let yourself eat cookies because you wanted cookies and stop when you feel satiated and know that the cookies will be available next time you want cookies because you don't need to earn them in any way. Because a brain that knows it can have cookies whenever it wants cookies, doesn't crave cookies all the time. Nor does it feel any self-loathing when it does crave cookies.
And I just wish everyone a very chill brain and some cookies
Publishers Weekly says my "obvious love for the form animates the volume." And I'll animate again! I'll never stop animating volumes.
The above quote has been my bio on Bluesky for the last few years. Finally, the time has come to make good on my promise: I'm animating another volume, folks.
I've signed a deal to produce an art collection that takes a broad look at the entire history of science fiction art. It'll be titled either The Art of the Future or The Art of Science Fiction – tbd – and it's coming out Fall 2027 from UK publisher Frances Lincoln.
It's a part of the "Art in the Margins" series, joining The Art of the Occult, The Art of Darkness, The Art of Fantasy, and The Art of the Unknown, all by my art book author friend S. Elizabeth (@ghoulnextdoor).
I'm excited! It's a lot of new territory for me: 1880s books, 1920s magazines, 1980s cyberpunk, 2000s video game concepts, and the coolest contemporary sci-fi artists of today, among a lot more.
Doug Andersen's 1991 cover to the Cyberpunk 2020 Night City Guide sourcebook will be in the book.
It's also a lot more work, so I'm restarting my two-issues-a-week schedule for my newsletter – On paid-tier Fridays, I'll publish something connected to the book. Sometimes I'll do my Book Notes series where I collect quotes and art from a specific art book I'm researching, and sometimes I'll highlight a bunch of art from a specific artist.
So, I'm discounting my paid tier for the next two weeks: It's normally $5/month, but if you use these exact links any time before June 16, you get my writing-a-book special of $3.50/month or $40/year for life (or until you cancel). If memory serves, that's the cheapest I've ever gone!
I'm going to try to get this 1961 illustration in to represent Syd Mead - not confirmed yet.
