At only 14yo, her political insight videos are fantastic! And if the majority of her >100k followers are in her age group, the future looks bright!

The kids are gonna be alright.

Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

I prefer physical books, but lately it has been so much easier to go through and read books on my kindle and have new ones at my fingertips. Audio books are touch and go, it depends on the speaker who is reading the story. I sometimes get drawn in, and other times fall asleep.

The slow symptomatic wave of the beginning murmurs of a cold. I don't know if this is better knowing that I need to treat it now or worse as I wait for more symptoms to slowly appear and get more intense.

There's less fraud in disability benefits than the average millionaire's tax return. We can't save money by screwing over disabled people - that would lead to higher spending in health and social care. (As well as being a crappy thing to do.)

Tax wealth; raise welfare.

Ugh... We have no checks and balances anymore. This is just heartless and insane. It's just meant to out people and cause unnecessary prejudice. :'(

So cool!! Congratulations!! And fabulous artwork as always!

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

The page that’s stayed in my mind for over three decades from Jack Hamm’s Cartooning the Head and Figure. It’s such an elegant solution to not just crowds, but most anything: Draw just enough information to allow the viewer’s brain to fill the rest in.

Back in my day, AI used to stand for Adobe Illustrator! And we hated that, too!

I have no idea if this creator has a film background, but if not, they have an incredible eye for composition. This, and their other works, would actually be a great teaching tool for an editing/boarding/cinematography class. Clever camera angles, strong posing, and easy to follow despite quick cuts

When books were being pulled from Iowa classrooms, these teens started an after-school club to read them Three Iowa City West high schoolers founded a book club that reads some of the country's most frequently banned books after a state law removing books with sexual content was signed in 2023.

I started a thread about tracing ref in the middle of another thread, so I'm reposting the start of that one here. So, some thoughts about drawing directly over reference:

an illustration of book being pierced through by a sword, from the wound the thorns with red tips are growing, slowly changing into flowers, a red bookmark is there to symbolize blood. the book reads 'It's alright to say No. You will always be a villain in someone's story...'
