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 spent some time in Cedar Rapid Iowa…Cedar Rapids Reds were the farm team there back in the 1980′s and the town looks far different over the Iowa river now vs. the postcards. Keokuk is on the Mississippi and they have a winter population of the eastern-most Bald Eagles in the lower 48! I remember Gabes bar in Iowa City just south of Cedar Rapids….Cedar Rapids was devastated in the floods of the 1990′s… Nice postcards! Memories of a time gone by…
