Beautiful birds. I'm lucky enough to live near a nesting box, and watch the kestrels take flight from there each year. A real privilege.

AMAZING art for Mickey Mouse in "The Prince and the Pauper" crew jacket (1990) by famed Disney comic artist Daan Jippes (who also served as storyboard artist / visual development for the film!)

Gorgeous vibrant colours, Darren. I always assumed that moleskine pages would just disintergrate under a copic. Seems I was wrong. Great stuff! Greetings from the UK!

Lovely portfolio Betsy, was a pleasure to look through. Loved the textural quality of this one. Congrats on finding the time to put it all together. I need to do the same, but am putting it off :P

Better start sticking some artwork on this profile for you lovelies. Random computer grab from the past. I was reading all of @mikemignola.bsky.social 's Hellboy for the first time. Was a hell of a lot of fun! #hellboy #mikemignola #comics #art #artist #digitalart

I wish more creatives would promote how improving your quality of life will drastically help your art

Instead of people sacrificing their quality of life to work on their art

Oh I'm sure. I was thinking literally today about Milt Kahl's work and wondering what his influence's were. Alot of us folks working in animation look to those guys, I'd love someone to put together a resource on who was inspiring them.

I spend inordinant amounts of time trying to understand art concepts, digging and digging into finer and finer detail only to come back round and figure out I didn't need any of it and the key was right there from the start. #art #artist #knowledge

I tried my hand making a little christmas tree ornament this year. Managed to slice right into my hand almost immediately. Good to know I'm not alone.

Outrageously good. I'd love to know the inspiration/ reference he was using to come up with this style. Or if he just pulled it out of his arse because he was a genius.

Controversial opinion but I actually think alot of it is not as true as they have you believe. Theres alot of self fulfilling prophecy involved with old art rules I think. I think some of them align with things that our visual processing "enjoys", and work in spite of the rule not because of it.

It's one of the best things you can do.

Been seeing your art on linkedin for the last couple years Robbie. Been a joy to see. Glad to come across you here too.

There's so many brilliant artists around it makes me wonder whether I like making art as much as I enjoy looking at it.
