Fan Art Friday: Raul Castillo

You know, Raul Castillo has been a part of so many things I’ve seen over the years, but it took watching the short-lived but brilliant series, Looking, for me to finally pay attention. Since then, I’ve sought out a lot of his independent film work and this man is an incredible chameleon! Most recently he shined in the critically acclaimed drama, The Inspection, and I hope to see him in the Sundance favorite, Cassandro in the near future. If you haven’t seen any of Castillo’s work, I recommend checking out Army of the Dead or Cha Cha Real Smooth to start. Then prepare to get lost in his greatness like I did.

Fan Art Friday: Xavier Dolan

I’m honestly surprised it’s taken me this long to draw Xavier Dolan given how much I fawned over his 2019 film Matthias & Maxime.

I still have a fair bit of his filmography to go, but if what I’ve watched so far is anything to go by, then I know I won’t be disappointed.

Fan Art Friday: Panic! at the Disco

It’s the end of an era, folks. The other day, remaining and sole (?) member of Panic! at the Disco, Brendon Urie, announced the band’s end as he chooses to focus on his family. I wasn’t too surprised that this once dominant four-piece finally puttered out. Sure, the pop masses still ate up anything he offered, but I tapped out a few albums ago. There were decent songs here and there, but nothing can match the brilliance that was their debut into the world, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. I remember hearing “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” at thirteen and just getting the coolest feeling. I immediately sought out the record, and luckily my parents didn’t investigate too far into it and bought it for me. I’ve seen them live at least four times over the course of my life and I just hope that if someday the band gets resurrected that we get the lineup of that era, but for now, I will reflect and be happy.
