Orson Welles removes his makeup on the set of Citizen Kane.
Cinephilia & Beyond has an amazing find: the complete collection of Orson Welles’ Sketch Book: “a series of six short television commentaries by Orson Welles for the BBC in 1955. Written and directed by Welles, the 15-minute episodes present the filmmaker’s commentaries on a range of subjects. Welles frequently draws from his own experiences and often illustrates the episodes with his own sketches.”
All the essential documentaries on Orson Welles, including Orson Welles: The Paris Interview (1960), Filming ‘The Trial’ (1981), The Battle Over Citizen Kane (1996), Shadowing the Third Man (2004), Orson Welles: The One-Man Band (1995), With Orson Welles: Stories from a Life in Film (1990), Filming ‘Othello’ (1978), F for Fake (1973), Orson Welles with French film school students, Orson Welles “Its All True” Citizen Kane and RKO, and seven-minute video of a very young-looking Welles (he was 23 at the time) addressing an onslaught of press members on October 31, 1938, the day after The War of the Worlds broadcast.
A futuristic cityscape that Jack Kirby penciled as a gift for Don Heck in exchange for Heck inking some work for him.

I’m forever amazed at your site. You provide a good grounding for musicians, fans, and general information. I was a MP fan going back to 1988 or so when I was in contact with Raenie Kane at SST. Since then I’ve dug up every scrap I could find, yet not seen the band in any incarnations. Supposedly they’re coming back to Michigan next year + my plans are jelling.
I can’t thank you enough for the hours of music you’ve provided along with your general recollections. I can see why you stepped away from that maelstrom. I recently saw “The Other F Word” and was happy to see folks like Ron Reyes doing well outside of the biz. I’m looking forward to the bio book, which is now on my wish list. Best always to you + keep blogging!
Thanks for the kind words, Greg!
