One of the earliest comics I can remember reading was a reprint of this classic confrontation between Spider-man (with a sprained arm) and the Lizard. Since then, John Romita Sr.'s iconic depiction of the webhead has been how I've always seen him. RIP to another great legend.
Great show at Packa's Place with my band @drowningleo this past Friday! #localband #indieband #livemusic

I have been writing consistently every morning. I'm also taking some online classes on planning a Kickstarter, learning and practicing 3 hours' worth of songs for a show in June, all while working a full-time job. Feel like these are going to be the best years of my life.

This all seems to still be here, so I'm back, Twitter. Also, I have a comic to promote and other things coming up, so regardless of anything, I'll be here there and everywhere. #writerslife #indiecomics #makecomics

Just in case this whole thing blows up, just want to say it has been fun (for the most part). You can all find me on Mastodon (@[email protected]). I'll be updating jasonchestnut.com as well with all my socials including all current writing/music projects.
The band and I before the show started. It was a lot of fun. We've only been playing together a few months, so still some rough edges to work out, some confidence to build up, and more original songs to include. All in all, we did great and had a blast.
Played my first show with my new band today...and I think it went pretty awesome! (We'll have socials set up soon)
For years, I have said that Kevin Conroy was the "one true Batman". His voice is what I have always heard in my head when I read Batman comics. He was legendary. RIP

One of the perks of being married to a music photographer. I get early access to photos (from band practice last weekend)

Alternatively, a movie based on the Marvel character the Sentry could also be cool, as it is such an interesting take on a "Superman" type character. I'm so tired of the "Evil Superman" trope. It has been done to death and is boring.
One of the things I have always wanted to write (and still think about writing just for the hell of it) is a Superman movie. Batman has been done (and done well) multiple times. Man of Steel was fine, but it lacked a lot of heart. Superman needs that.
Accurate depiction of how I'd actually sound playing the trombone.
The world's first trombone rhythm game is instantly a GOTY contender. And no, I'm not kidding. Turn up the volume and hear Beethoven like you've never heard it before. trib.al/pFwvN8z

I was asked by @A_Guyton to come up with a bio and stuff for the end of our first book. Drafted some ideas.

Hey @ThatKevinSmith you nailed it with @ClerksMovie Saw it last night and it was great. Even had some poignant relatable moments considering where I am in life. Oh, and it was funny as hell. Well done, sir. (my wife cried her eyes out)
