That’s what they’ve got up now: an exhibit of “mini-portraits” by Ashton Gallagher, his first solo show, which lovingly captures the visages of Furiosa, Dumbledore, Ripley, Marion Ravenwood, and many more. We’ve plucked out some of the very best, but you can check out the full selection – and even buy the ones that haven’t sold out yet – at the G1988 site. Or you can see them in person at their Los Angeles gallery; “Mini-Portraits” is on display through Saturday.

He currently has a solo show up at 1988, and it concerns one of our favorite topics: things we liked when we were kids.

“Raised by Rainbows” features art inspired by everything from Calvin and Hobbes to Back to the Future, reimagined via alphabets, movie posters, and trips to the video arcade. You’ll see what we mean in the gallery below, which includes some of our favorite pieces form “Raised by Rainbows”; you can see the rest on their site, or by dropping in at the gallery, where the show is on display until March 7.

Today, profiles of the women behind Jane The Virgin and The Second Shelf, one of our finest critics on the perils of contemporary criticism, and thoughts on the horrifying spectacle of Trump’s Mississippi rally.

Olivia Aylmer on The Second Shelf.

A.N. Devers was struck by the disparity between the values of books by men and women, to the author and book dealer decided to do something about it. And thus was born The Second Shelf, a multi-faceted celebration of women writers, launching with a quarterly journal, followed by both online and brick-and-mortar bookshops. At Vanity Fair, Aylmer talks to Devers about her aims with the brand, and the small steps readers can take to curate for themselves:

Devers said it’s possible for any woman to build her own Second Shelf. Step one: choose a woman writer that speaks to you, and start by acquiring her first editions over time, saving up for more expensive additions or asking for them as birthday gifts. “It seems like a nostalgic or precious pursuit, at first,” Devers says. “I think women are very practical with their money. They’re worried about the day-to-day. Book collecting just seems like a little bit of a frivolous endeavor. But when you actually look at the issue at hand—which is that women aren’t collected and women’s voices don’t take as much room physically on shelves—then you see it as a mission and a purpose. And that your pursuit of these books can actually make a difference.”

Kathryn VanArendonk profiles Jennie Snyder Urman.

Jennie Snyder Urman is the show-runner of the critical darling Jane the Virgin, which eschews, in her words, “the signifiers of deep, important television,” the kinds of shows where “you’re going to talk really slow, and there’s going to be a lot of pauses, a lot of men. And they’re going to get really upset a lot.” At Vulture, VanArendonk talks to Urman about her style, her process, and how and why she does things differently:

One of the driving questions of Jane is also one that immediately distinguishes it from the majority of “serious” TV. “When Jane started,” Urman says, “I was really, actively thinking, Can a protagonist be an interesting person if they’re also a really good person? Can their life be complicated if they’re not doing all these terrible things and forced into these extreme situations?” Jane is forced into extreme situations, but her dilemmas come from trying to be a good person in the middle of them. And from the beginning, Urman says, her “biggest watershed moment” about how to navigate from the show’s pilot to its second episode was in realizing she needed to treat Jane’s accidental pregnancy “like the trauma that it was.”

… The showrunner seems too friendly to fit inside the auteur model of the prickly, difficult visionary. The description I hear of Urman, again and again, is that she cares very much about the people who work on her show, and is uncannily good at casting and hiring people who contribute to a collaborative, supportive working environment. Rosenthal says she “specifically hired very sensitive, thoughtful people,” especially in comparison with comedy rooms he’s come from, where people tend to be “loud and aggressive.” “She has an incredible sense for people,” is how Yael Grobglas, who plays Rafael’s ex-wife Petra Solano, explains it, before calling Urman a “genius magician unicorn.” Brett Dier is more blunt: “Jennie did a good job at hiring non-assholes.” If Jane the Virgin is a show about the radical premise that good people can also be interesting, Urman may be a case study in the unusual idea that powerful, creative people can also be parents, caring colleagues, and empathetic leaders.

Wesley Morris on “The Morality Wars.”

Morris’ New York Times essay on problematic artists and cancellation culture is vast and complicated, with a lot to grapple with and, frankly, a few questionable rhetorical flourishes and logical leaps. But if anyone would appreciate the idea of doing more than nodding along in agreement, it’s Morris, who worries that preoccupations with placing art’s intentions and messages first, and quality as art second, does a disservice to both. On Beyoncé, for example, he writes:

Decades of music writing have been less than fair to the work of women — especially black women. So the aversion to criticism of Beyoncé has a ring of historical justice. Her people won’t let you disrespect her. But this is artistry robust enough to withstand — and be illuminated by — serious criticism. Yet she rarely receives much. The imagery gets inspected for its allusions even though there’s a lot more to her work than whom it’s channeling, although some of what’s ingenious about, say, that Coachella performance really is the grandeur of all that it synthesizes. I tend to have little if anything bad to say about her. But criticism isn’t about saying what’s bad — well, not only. It’s partly about situating a work in the world, in your feelings, in your collection. It can take any form and go to any place, the very surprising places an artist like Beyoncé typically tries to take us. Not everybody has to like being there, and saying so shouldn’t feel like you’re risking your life.

The risk should come from the art itself, the discomfort it can produce and whether it can transcend that discomfort. Avoiding that unpleasantness feels natural, but it denies a truth in art, which is our humanity — all of it. Take the most effective sequence — the only one, really — in Spike Lee’s “BlacKkKlansman”: a double viewing of “The Birth of a Nation” that splits the screen between white supremacists and black activists. It’s as intelligent and rousing an argument for engagement with unpleasant art as I’ve seen in a movie.

Adam Serwer on MAGA cruelty. 

There are times where it feels as though we’ve been so numbed by the vile coarseness of this President and the sheer vulgarity of his presence that we can no longer be shocked, and then he and his cult will do something so horrifying that it turns out we’re still capable of that emotion. At least, that was this writer’s takeaway from Trump’s Tuesday night “rally” in Mississippi, at which he mocked and imitated Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony of her sexual misconduct at the hands of his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. But at The Atlantic, Serwer argues that we shouldn’t be shocked; this is the guiding principle of this entire movement.

The laughter undergirds the daily spectacle of insincerity, as the president and his aides pledge fealty to bedrock democratic principles they have no intention of respecting. The president who demanded the execution of five black and Latino teenagers for a crime they didn’t commit decrying “false accusations,” when his Supreme Court nominee stands accused; his supporters who fancy themselves champions of free speech meet references to Hillary Clinton or a woman whose only crime was coming forward to offer her own story of abuse with screams of “Lock her up!” The political movement that elected a president who wanted to ban immigration by adherents of an entire religion, who encourages police to brutalize suspects, and who has destroyed thousands of immigrant families for violations of the law less serious than those of which he and his coterie stand accused, now laments the state of due process.

This isn’t incoherent. It reflects a clear principle: Only the president and his allies, his supporters, and their anointed are entitled to the rights and protections of the law, and if necessary, immunity from it. The rest of us are entitled only to cruelty, by their whim. This is how the powerful have ever kept the powerless divided and in their place, and enriched themselves in the process.

“I’m a real actor now.”

That’s what Caitlin FitzGerald says she thought after her experience as a young actress filming Law & Order: SVU.

Though she’s now been a series regular on major television shows like Masters of Sex and UnREAL, FitzGerald and many others like her count SVU as one of their first small-screen credits. The NBC procedural has opened its seemingly endless revolving door to many of your favorite actors and actresses over its 19-season, 434-episode (and counting) run. Whether they’re a former star of Will & Grace, an Emmy-winning character actress or an aspiring actor looking for an opportunity to be seen, chances are they spent some time with the members of the Special Victims Unit.

Over the years, TVLine has interviewed many stars about their favorite roles and — no surprise — a host of them brought up their time on SVU. From the kind and welcoming nature of the cast to the awesome props, these memories meant a lot to these actors personally and professionally. Now, these are their stories.

(Fingers crossed!) Based on their memorable Blind Auditions, I was particularly eager to hear Jaclyn Lovey and Pryor Baird again, to find out (a) if they were good or consistently good and (b) how they’d fare in a cage match with another singer. Aand… ? Read on. We’ll discuss.

Team Blake: Pryor Baird (Grade: A) defeated Kaleb Lee (Grade: B) on “Don’t Do Me Like That” — Kaleb stolen by Kelly | Prior to this Battle, I felt for Kaleb. He seems like as nice a guy as they come, and is a fine singer. But there’s this oomph to Pryor’s vocals, this force behind ’em that suggests that anything or anyone standing in front of ’em is gonna get knocked over or knocked out. In rehearsal, Blake even advised him not to turn the volume up to 11 for the entire song, that’s how powerful his pipes are. On stage, Kaleb did a perfectly good job, but the second Pryor opened his mouth, it was all over. His was the voice that you paid attention to. You couldn’t take your ears off him! Midway through, it seemed like Kaleb suspected that he’d lost, too, and tried to ratchet up his raspiness, but it was too little, too late. Good Battle, but the winner was easy to choose. (I had to wonder what Kelly thought about Justin Kilgore’s prospects when she stole Kaleb… )

Team Adam: Mia Boostrom (Grade: A) defeated Genesis Diaz (Grade: A-) on “Because of You” | After Adam advised his singers in rehearsal to think of their Battle less as a duet and more as an independent experience, I wasn’t expecting a tag-team performance that really gelled. Still, Mia managed to more than redeem herself from her middling Blind Audition performance, impressing with not only the lower register for which she’s known but with her vocal control. She even managed to outsing Genesis, which before this I’d have thought was impossible — Genesis is a force to be reckoned with. Powerful, passionate, a supernova exploding before our eyes. “I love how almost out of control you are,” Adam told her. And yet, she always remained in control. A genuine toughie. Can’t believe Genesis didn’t get stolen.

the voice recap pryor baird britton buchanan battlesTeam Kelly: Justin Kilgore (Grade: B) defeated Molly Stevens (Grade: A) on “Burning House” | In rehearsal, Justin and Molly sounded dreamy together — those harmonies were nine kinds of divine! Molly even pulled out some tones that made me hear a little Janis Joplin in there. (How this was the first that Kelly knew about her country competitors both being gay, I can’t quite figure; guess she doesn’t get to see their introductory packages between the Blind Auditions and the Battles.) As performance time neared, I started dreading the Battle, since I liked both Justin and Molly’s voices better than Kaleb’s, and one of them was about to be (cowboy) booted. On stage, Molly sounded fantastic; her vocal was the special kind that makes you look up to see who’s singing. Justin was good, too, but for me, it ended up being all about Molly. He was a smidgen overwrought, making it seem like he was trying at times. She, on the other hand, came off restrained and beautifully present.

Team Adam: Drew Cole (Grade: B+) defeated Miya Bass (Grade: B) on “Knocking’ on Heaven’s Door” — Miya stolen by Alicia | From the get-go, Drew seemed like he was going to have the advantage in this Battle; his unique voice wrapped around the Dylan classic (or, if you prefer, GNR) like a hand around a mic. But Miya was not to be counted out; her lower register, in particular, was “Like, da-amn!” amazing. Though both of them threw in runs where there didn’t necessarily want to be runs, you can’t blame them for wanting to show off while singing of their lives. I might have called the Battle a draw, were it not for the fact that I think there’s something so different and special about Drew’s voice. There didn’t seem to be any struggle, any strain, to his performance, he just nailed it.

the voice recap pryor baird britton buchanan battlesTeam Blake: Wilkes (Grade: A) defeated Jordan Kirkdorffer (Grade: C) on “Nobody to Blame” | Even in rehearsal, it seemed like Jordan was going to be a little out of his element on this Chris Stapleton cover; it’s a country song, so that should have been fine, but there’s as innate sweetness to Jordan and his voice that didn’t quite fit the raucous tune — certainly not as well as his opponent and his voice did. When Wilkes sang with that hint of dirt road in his throat, “I know right where I went wrong,” you didn’t just believe him, you half expected him to go wrong that way again. By contrast, Jordan came off like a nice guy doing bad-boy karaoke. Not terrible, by any means, but this Battle was made for Wilkes to win. He sure as hell made me reconsider my “meh” reaction to his Blind Audition.

Team Alicia: Britton Buchanan (Grade: A) defeated Jaclyn Lovey (Grade: A) on “Thinking Out Loud” — Jaclyn stolen by Blake | Since I like both of these contestants, this was a Battle pairing that I could certainly have done without — I wasn’t eager to see either of them on the chopping block. (And since their styles are so different, wouldn’t it have made more sense for their coach to have matched up Jaclyn with Livia Faith since they occupy, if not the same lane, at least adjacent ones?) In the duo’s first rehearsal, it sounded like Jaclyn’s soft style of singing might get overpowered by Britton’s belting. But by dress, it sounded as if Jaclyn had raised the volume to meet Britton’s. So OK, even playing field going into the Battle. On stage, lordy loo, they sounded so beautiful, separately and together, that even my cold, brittle heart felt s—. Can you fall in love with a performance? Whether you can or you can’t, this was magnificent! So thank the music gods that Blake had a Steal left.

So, who did you think was the standout on Night 3 of the Battles? Vote in the poll below, then hit the comments. Any (very) early predictions about who’ll win Season 14?
