Happy Over the Garden Wall season, everyone.

New Yokai alert! Meet the Chōchin obake (提灯お化け), a yōkai that belongs to the group of the Tsukumogami (付喪神), or object yōkai. According to Japanese folklore, some tools or objects become alive and self-aware when they reach a certain age, and Chōchin (a paper lantern) are no exception.

Anno: Oh, I’m critical of Porco Rosso, myself. Tomino: What was wrong with Porco? Anno: As a picture, nothing. But because I know Miyazaki-san personally, I can’t view it objectively. His presence in the film is too conspicuous, it’s no good. In other words... it feels like he’s showing off. Tomino: How so? Anno: He has the main character act all self-deprecating, calling himself a pig... but then puts him in a bright red plane, has him smoking all cool-like, even creates a love triangle between a cute young thing and a sexy older lady. Tomino: Ha! I see what you mean. He and | are around the same age, though. So I get how he feels, unconditionally. So I may think, “Oh boy...” but I can’t stay mad at him (laughs). Anno gets a little too into talking about underpants, and Tomino of all people has to check hit Anno: From my point of view, he’s being very presumptuous. Tomino-san, you put so much of yourself into your works, it is like you’re dancing naked in them. I like that! (balls fists) In Miya- san’s recent works, he makes you fhink he’s dancing naked... but on second glance, you realize he’s still wearing underpants. (getting carried away) I hate that! I feel like shouting: “Take it all off!” (getting really carried away) And to add insult to injury... he’s wearing fancy underpants! Tomino: You don’t beat around the bush. We get it, we get it already. Anno: (shrinking) Excuse me.

Tomino: i do get what you mean, and i don’t mean to play devil’s advocate for Miyazaki, but... generally speaking, that’s just how you get when you age. It’s the same for me, surely. That was my first time hearing it put so frankly... but you get what I mean already. It does feel nice letting it all hang out, waving your dick around. That’s how movies ought to be! Anno: Yes, I agree. I don’t like it when people try to obscure themselves like that. If you’re gonna wave your dick around, wave it all around! If you don’t have the guts to do that, then wear the best clothing you can. Tomino: Right... Dress yourself to the nines! Anno: Commit yourself to putting on a show. He couldn’t do that. I felt betrayed. Like, this guy isn't really naked!

i think often about this discussion between Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hideaki Anno. it's one of the funniest ways anyone has ever talked about restraint vs self indulgence in art.

Fineliner and marker doodle of a bodega isle. Quicker messy lines, in black, and a rough shading and coloring with just a bright pink marker. Messy warm up sketch

Felt sketchy

A photo of a traditional ink art piece, the pen nib and ink bottle are visible. The drawing is of a boy sitting on a well worn stair amongst some weeds, tempting a butterfly to land on his finger

Screenshot of technical drawings of a purse shaped like a butter cookie tin

Just sent off the drawings to my purse manufacturer! I ended up drawing an actual cookie interior too, so the purse can have both sewing supplies and a cookie lining 🥺 #wip

Digital sketches surrounding the game Bioshock (2007) (I'm so old help). The player character Jack wears a cream coloured knitted jumper, brown pinstriped trousers, has green eyes and blonde hair. He looks determined at the viewer, and holds a metal wrench in his hand. He has a tattoo of chains on his wrist. Jack holds a Little Sister and exorcises her of her Adam slug. An Eve needle filled with blue liquid.

Digital sketches surrounding the game Bioshock (2007) (I'm so old help). Jack holds a flame in his hand using the Incinerate plasmid, he has a black eye and has a nosebleed. Jack sits for a rest with a cigarette, Atlas calls him over the radio with a "Boyooooo"

Digital sketches surrounding the game Bioshock (2007) (I'm so old help). Child Jack grins as his puppy licks his face. Adult Jack stands with a shotgun in his hands. Jack looks in horror at the radio in his hands, as the voice on it tells him "There ain't no ATLAS, kid" Jack exorcises a Little Sister of her Adam slug. A bloodied golf club.

Art drawn by people who very rarely make art and think they are “bad at art” is 1000x cooler than AI art. It’s life-affirming. It’s often unexpected. I cannot overemphasize how much I love when people just go for it. You do not need the machine for this human endeavor.

i repeat this mantra to myself while the dread slowly builds. i think it helps.

Left: 2004 illustration of Pichu on a card made of regular paper. Pichu is standing in a sunny field with its mouth open. The lines and colors appear to have been drawn with a shaky hand. Right: 2024 redraw of the Pichu card, digital, using a template resembling the official cards. Pichu is looking up in the sky at a rainbow, surrounded by flowers. Two Cutiefly are also looking up. The wind is blowing, causing flower petals and dandelion seeds to float. Skiploom and Hoppip are flying through the air. Card text: Kiana's Pichu, 40 HP. Baby Pokemon. Pikabolt, 10. Pichu does 10 damage to itself. This is a fanmade card. Not legal for use in official play.

Redrew my old art, 20 years later! 🌈✨

I never imagined I could draw like this one day.
Don't give up on your dreams!

Post your most popular art from Twitter.

Okay. This was my guy.

This was one of the worst accounts on Twitter that regularly posted ragebait and flat-out misleading shit. Do not give Call to Activism air. They're not activists; they're grifters.

Color block sketch of tre and olly

Tre and olly about to smooch. Simple black ink

Tre: olly what the fuck. It's nit about whether you're "useful", you have an innate right to exist ad a human being. Olly: (making the "is he though?" Face from Thor) Tre: Boy don't you fucking meme at me

Very very old drawing of olly in front of a distant storm, framed by Tres camera viewfinder

In the process of clearing out my Twitter account and grabbed a bunch of old art to post here. Have some very very early shot and chaser concept stuff

More of Her
