Digital painting, flying ships over a city at night

From the Olden Times

Hand-painted BG depicting a down angle of a retro skyscraper topped with elaborate signage. Shinji painted this very early on, one of his first fully realized BG paintings. The painting was never used, though the same building appears early in the film.

Shinji Kimura's great "Talkie Building," one of our first fully realized BG. Though the same building appears in the movie, the painting was never actually used as a BG.

Hand-painted, of course — Nicker Poster Colors on art paper.

Indeed! Some nice examples there

Ha! Yes. I love the contrast between patchwork/precision

Lovely isn’t it

It looks too neat to not be intentional. Just nice to think of a skilled roofer enjoying themselves.

Nicely contoured roofing slates on a building in Haddington, East Lothian

Here’s a pleasing little section of roof slates I saw yesterday

Positivity!

Perhaps there won’t be much call for illustrators in an irradiated wasteland anyway 🤷‍♀️

This - after a public consultation that came down c95% against corporate copyright theft - is a hearty move towards this government’s spineless purchased representatives needing to be hoofed in the crotch by us all, in a big queue until they get the message.

Thanks Ben

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

Normal service resumed

A photo of copies of the Angry Robot editions of Gogmagog and Ludluda by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard. Below them are two books wrapped in old map paper, a bookmark and a coaster.

"She would have to regrow herself.
Tomorrow she would begin again on the task of her life, her secret life."

The time we wrapped up copies of Gogmagog and Ludluda in old maps, tied them with string and sent them out with a bookmark and a stained Jim Brimstone's Navy Rum coaster.

Inspired by that area. Cheers

Nice to wake up to something nice though
