Long Lost Friend Studio is my self-publishing imprint, the studio space where we work, and a YouTube channel featuring videos about art and creativity. This blog covers everything happening with me and Long Lost Friend Studio.
We Made A Thing
The Fantastic Four movie hits theatres this week. If you’ve seen the trailer, maybe you’ve noticed the scene where some middle-school kids are out and about wearing Ben Grimm Thing masks. They’re modeled after the vintage masks Ben Cooper, Inc. put out in the 1960s. When we saw that movie clip, Michelle and I knew we’d have to try to make our own version of the mask.
