If you get a chance, you must see @realgdt.bsky.social directed Frankenstein in a proper movie theater. Great storytelling, beautifully designed vision of mad obsession and a glimpse of humanity.

Unless one has the means that allow for certain possibilities, very often, the urgency of making a living robs the artist of the time required to make masterworks.

It is really slick and smooth. The trick is getting the ideal amount of paint on the brush so it does not bead or smear uncontrollably

I had to render this โ€œSquid Jacketโ€ for a client on a new paper surface called Yupo. It takes the paint better than the graphite

I tell my students not to give them โ€œkneesโ€ because it makes them look like a person wearing a mermaid costume.

A couple of things, . . . Everyone responds to critical analysis differently; some people are inspired, while others are frozen by it. Being tough on people is worthless if the result is not helping them expand possibilities. It's important to meet people where they are.

One of my goals as an instructor is not to be as bad as that teacher was. I understand the challenge of a larger classroom of students, but it's important to explain one's criticism so it sinks in properly.

Getting brutally critiqued by college art instructors is not the badge of courage people think it is. It didnโ€™t make me a better artist, it made me realize how full of shit my light and color teacher was.

Does anyone want to see this as a painting or a door-to-door salesperson or activist looking for signatures?

Ads from comic books many of us grew up with. Admittedly, I did have sea monkeys at one point.
