Shelley tried to warn us:
Woman creates life: beautiful, innocent, natural

Man creates life: monstrous, amoral, abomination.

Caricature painting-in-progress of the early cast of SNL. Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, and Jane Curtin have some brushwork under way on their faces, while the rest are still simple pencil outlines.

Made a start on blocking in this SNL commission.

In my own way, I try to be an evangelist for the #art of #caricature.

If anyone has any questions about what I do - whether in commissioned paintings, or in designing puppets for Spitting Image - I'd be delighted to answer them.

Reposts appreciated!

Over millennia, we have inadvertently selected the spiders that would better imitate a human shape.
When threatened, they will stridulate together, creating the illusion of whispers. Some colonies have also been seen creating hand shapes on windows to warn of their presence.

Many stories of haunted houses may be related to Cyclosa imago, also known as the Haunting Spider.
When a colony settles an abandoned building, they collectively defend against human intrusion by forming dense webs, which have been interpreted as ghostly apparitions.

How would you describe that worldview? My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: “Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.” It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it. In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people.

Special Episode: Dr. Lindsey Fitzharris and Adrian Teal & Dead Ends! - This Podcast Will Kill You Science doesn’t always get it right the first time (or the second, or the third, or even the ninety-ninth!). And while we may chuckle at the outlandish things people believed or the goofy experiments ...

@tealcartoons.bsky.social and I had a blast chatting with "This Podcast Will Kill You" - all about our new kids' book DEAD ENDS, which is about medicine's biggest failures and how failure is critical to scientific progress. Have a listen! 👇

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

Snickers bar and a metal whistle

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD ***************** Investigation of: LOSS OF THE SUBMARINE TITAN IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN ON JUNE 18, 2023 * * * * * * Accident No.: *********** * * * * * * Interview of: Co-designer/Pilot Deepsea Challenger DCA23FM036 via Microsoft Teams Friday, July 26, 2024

INTERVIEW OF 10 BY LCDR 11 Q. So how did you get yourself started into submersible 12 operations? 13 A. Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic. When I 14 set down the path to make that film, the first thing that I did 15 was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible 16 program at the P.P. Shirshov Institute in Moscow, a guy named 17| Professor I. I did that through a mutual friend 18 of ours, a guy named , who is one of the preeminent underwater cinematographers in the world. And had been on a 20 submersible expedition out to Titanic the previous year with the 21 Russians. And that was organized by a Canadian company that was 22 doing an IMAX film which was released under the title Titanica.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
