"How I Learned to Adapt to Digital Art When All I’ve Ever Known Is Traditional Art—and How You Can Too" I've faced many moments where I felt like I had to start over from the beginning in my 30s and 40s, and I understand the fear that comes with that. But that's where courage is developed. So, without further ado, I'd like to invite you on my journey as an artist. Hopefully, you will see that it's not too late to try a new idea or technique to really get those creative juices flowing. As most stories go, let's take a look back before we move forward.

A thriller from 1985 that demolishes genre expectations and blurs the lines between the supposedly upright and the morally and legally lax, To Live and Die in LA is a film focused on the hunt for counterfeiter Eric Masters waged by US Treasury Agent Richard Chance. Consumed with the need to extract revenge for Masters slaying of his partner, Chance will stop at nothing to catch Masters while his new by the book partner John Vukovich boils over in rage and frustration at Chance's methods. To Live and Die in LA has signature sequences- a foot chase in an airport, a car chase into oncoming traffic on the freeway- but is really focused on the tensions generated by the two very different protagonists in their pursuit of a criminal.

Slaughterhouse Five is a mix of a a time travel movie and war film where a former American POW in WW2 named Billy Pilgrim moves jaggedly and abruptly through time- past and future and back again and again. What director George Roy Hill and writer Stephen Geller have fashioned from author Kurt Vonnegut's novel is really an anti-war film disguised as slight sci-fi time travel picture and an at times, grim and powerful critique of World War Two and wars in general primarily through its Dresden sequences.

When it was revealed Mike Tyson and Jake Paul staged their fight, no one could've or even would've though that it would happen again. But, man, were we proven wrong!

I want to give my first impressions on Genshin Impact. Those topics are the graphics, the gameplay mechanics, the system, and the role playing aspect When it comes to the graphics of this anime style gacha game, it looks pretty good in its state for a game that came out on mobile first. The mechanics and combat of this game feels amazing and simplified. I think the combat is great especially when there is abilities involved. As far as I know, Genshin has a mechanic where you put these, I think they are called relics or something where you can get extra bonus stats with sets that add more bonuses There is a couple of role playing stuff in this but not very much. The dialog choices might lead to different dialog reactions but they all lead to the same destination. I think its a good casual game for anyone that doesn't want to pay any money and that wants to get into RPGs or yet, gacha games.

A fashion forward though employer backward comedy about an assistant to a fashion magazine editor and her efforts to placate and please her, The Devil Wears Prada is an effectively made comedy. Thanks to great work from leads Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway and great supporting work by Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci and a skillful job by director David Frankel and writer Aline Brosh Mckenna, Lauren Weisberger's novel is adapted into a sharp but not scalding workplace comedy.

A surprisingly enjoyable and effective sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors is largely set in a psychiatric hospital but uses this as a take off point for the Dream spaces of its patients who much like Nancy Thompson from the original film are threatened by the ultimate nightmare maker and slayer Freddy Krueger. Well directed by Chuck Russell with nice performances by Heather Lagenkamp as Nancy and Patricia Arquette and Jennifer Ruben as patients Kristen and Taryn respectively Dream Warriors remains one of strongest and the best of the sequels to A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Reservoir Dogs subverts some of the conventions of crime films by having a heist film that doesnt contain any scenes of a heist but merely discusses it, characters identified only by colors, an opening scene which has nothing to do with plot but wisely gives the audience an introduction to the personalities in the movie. Quentin Tarantino in his first feature creates a film that denies the audience the certainties provided in most genre crime and only provides enough for them to follow the narrative which is deliberately fractured through flashback anyway An intriguing and riveting debut film.

The most intriguing and thought provoking of the original Star Trek movies, Star Trek-The Motion Picture has been written off unfairly by both fans and disinterested parties alike. Star Trek is actually the engine that help drive the eventual success of the sequels and I would dare say Star Trek The Next Generation. Star Trek-The Motion Picture is space drama not space opera, an intelligent film that deals with an alien force not by mere threats but seeking understanding and communication.

A conspiracy thriller combined with post modern noir and wrapped in codes, symbols and subtext, Under The Silver Lake is a feature that requires attention and focus from the filmgoer. A filmic scavenger hunt that subverts expectations and conventions.

John Onimisi Obidi and the Creation of the Theory of Entropicity (ToE): What if reality is not built from particles, objects, or waves, but from an Entropic Field? A single, continuous substrate whose gradients sculpt geometry, whose fluctuations appear as matter, and whose flows generate the dynamics we interpret as spacetime. In this view, the universe is not assembled from independent components but unfolds as a self‑organizing informational medium, where every structure is a local optimization of entropy. Motion, mass, curvature, and interaction become expressions of how this field redistributes information. The Theory of Entropicity proposes that entropy is not a statistical residue but the primary engine of physical law — the source from which geometry, causality, and the architecture of reality emerge, unifying the diverse phenomena of nature within one entropic foundation.

The Bible is supernatural. This should not be controversial. God is spirit. Angels are spirit. Demons are spirit. The Bible describes a cosmos teeming with divine beings, spiritual warfare, and supernatural events. Yet for centuries, Western Christianity has been systematically embarrassed by this fact. Somewhere along the line, we decided that rational, scientific minds couldn’t handle a supernatural Bible. So we sanitized it. We turned “sons of God” into metaphors. We explained away the Divine Council. We reduced the nachash in Eden to a mere talking snake. We transformed the Nephilim into anything except what the text plainly says they were. We did this so thoroughly that most Christians today have never heard the supernatural worldview their own Scriptures assume. This didn’t happen by accident.

Enid did what with who? This is one of my favorites because its edgy for the time, especially if you were graduating out of the BSC books and moving on to more "mature" themes. It's still watered down in a "Jessi is hooked on caffeine pills and is so excited" sort of way but not so cringe that you set it aside and say "Not today PSA". I honestly wonder if this is a product of the "Just Say No" era that they shoved down our throats or a response to a sort of book version of the "After School Special". Either way not all is sweet in Sweet Valley...
