I feel lucky enough to have drawn a Conan with a bag of his pens 💖

FRANK FRAZETTA Yesterday, at the ripe old age of 82, my favorite artist fell off his twig. He'd suffered stroke damage in recent years, and his kids had been squabbling over their impending inheritance, but judging ...

Whenever I feel like illustrating some sword and sorcery I think of this analysis of Frazetta's style, written by the late great Jesse Hamm

"Do not forget it, i can remove you from this transaction" goes so hard

Seriously, just start. Right now!

Have you tried a straight to ink sketchbook? It's helped me simplify in so many ways

What's great about AI is no matter how much it advances, you can still just say that anyone who uses it is a loser and a fascist

Obvious ai manipulation on the left. Original photo by David Batcheller on the right. Look at the wings, feather shape, head, neck and bill shape, lack of tail etc. This is way more than a filter and absolutely destroys the joy and wonder of the original.

So loads of people are sharing an obvious ai "glow up" of an actual photo. I never share ai stuff even to dunk, but in this case I'm sharing a comparison to show the problem. We have to stand against this slop at every level or it becomes normalised. They want us to stop caring. See alt text.

This joke works on exactly 7 people and I'm one of them

Coffee bags, one is Tom of Finland with a Tom of Finland image on it. The other is Moomin with a Moomin leaning on a blueberry. More details: in the photograph of two "Art Roast" coffee bags on the shelf of a store with prices in euros. One of the bags is large and black and says HEAVY DUTY dark roast coffee beans, exclusive blend by Robert [I can't read it, it's in script]. The other is blue and says Blueberry coffee.

ah yes, the two genders

The kids don't know about the Amanda Bynes poster hastily airbrushed to avoid implying she endorsed peace

The day after we put the final touches on issues #88-91 of “Swamp Thing”, news broke about the passing of Tatjana Wood, the original colorist on the series. Tomorrow, March 2nd, would have been Tatjana’s 100th birthday. Let’s raise a glass to one of comics’ originals.

“One of the saddest aspects of Tatjana Wood's death is that many who say they admire her work as a colorist are sharing screenshots of the bad recreation that DC has been using for decades, instead of the original (here also with an essential text omitted in the reissue)”

I remember looking at RE2 concept art as a little kid and being blown away by it, especially the bottom left Ada sketch. Wanted to do my own version of it this afternoon.

Danny devito in always sunny stating "you would have to be a real low life piece of shit to be proud to be an American."

The world was saved because a human being didn't trust a computer.

"Joy is a form of resistance" Yes, for the Palestinians. For the oppressed. For the colonized. Not dor rue white people who want to disassociate from the reality of the (polycrisis) by continuing to uplift and center personal nervous system regulation and happiness to the detriment of the WORLD. @stefkaufman

Btw

I hope we lose

A beautiful mural on the side of a tall building in Tehran, Iran of an American flag hanging down in a way it's not usually hung in the US. Instead of stars on the blue field it's skulls, and the red lines each have a bomb at the bottom, making the red lines seem very much like the rockets' red glare, like from the song. It says in English DOWN WITH THE USA. It's beautiful, and it is real.

Good morning to everyone who loves public art ONLY
