The print copes of Defund Culture: A Radical Proposal arrived today:

https://www.mediastudies.press/defund-culture-a-radical-proposal

The #book is published by mediastudies.press, and is available #openaccess under the CC4r (Collective Conditions for Re-Use commitment), so you don’t need to pay to download and read a copy.

It's also feels particularly timely in light of recent discussions around #class and #representation including the Class Ceiling report that came out the other week:

And the #BBC review by Anne Morrison and Chris Banatvala, which highlight how it remains London-centric and skewed towards #middleclass

Soon as they figure out how they can do it they will! #he #hospital #room, #for #now.

The New Adventures of #he-man offered some ...interesting re-designs of classic characters. It's rare to find depictions of this version of Skeletor that make the redesign look good, but William George's packaging artwork for the action figure looks fantastic.

So, with that in mind, I did this New Adventures-era #Skeletor. And for fun, I did it in ink, Copic marker, graphite, and chalk pencil -- hence the unusual look of the rendering.
