Kate S. Illustrated on Wheels

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Cartoony illustration of Sam and Leigh from the videogame Look Outside. They look like they're posing for a prom photo; Sam is standing behind Leigh with his arms around her shoulders. Sam is wearing a tux with a purple vest, and Leigh is wearing a long blue slip dress with a subtle sheen. She has Sam's jacket draped over her shoulders.

Another YCH commission, this time for @wilshley.bsky.social with a late 90s/early 00s prom theme! I spent some time looking at old Delia's catalogs in the process and got hit with a wave of nostalgia

Cartoony illustration of Sam and Leigh from the videogame Look Outside dancing against a brightly colored background. Leigh is leading and holding Sam mid-dip; both are dressed in punk fashion

A YCH commission for @benzenedream.bsky.social !

This comm included a request to put Sam and Leigh in old-school punk outfits, and it was a lot of fun putting those together! The background colors were inspired by an X-ray Spex album [eyestrain cw]

Tatjana Wood has apparently passed away at age 99. Her father was Jewish so during WW2 her parents sent her to the Netherlands, then NY. She studied as a dressmaker, met/married Wallace Wood and began assisting him, then pivoted to becoming one of the best colorists in comics.

For some context, this review was written before Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" period

Sadly, the review has been lost to the ages along with the rest of the forum, but my husband can back me up on its existence. The one sentence he's been able to recall from it is "Hannah Montana is not the seat of God."

This reminds me of a forum I frequented as a teen that was dedicated to snarky recaps of bad movies. One poster gained notoriety for submitting a recap that started with a similarly buckwild historical tangent before awkwardly segueing into its main topic: the Care Bears movie

Cartoonists: new visual aid about tangents and separating your planes just dropped

Help a friend out if you can swing it.

I got a sweet comment on some Mother 3 fanart that I posted on Tumblr way back in 2011 and it was a very nice thing to wake up to

Unfortunately I also sustained minor psychic damage from reading my own writing from that period of my life

🚨SKETCH FUNDRAISER🚨
Despite the govt claiming a “drawdown” in MN, ICE has been active in my town & has taken at least 6 members of our community. I am taking comms this week to raise funds for the Winona Sheltering Network, which provides assistance for impacted community members. Details below ⬇️ ⬇️

Doing this special for one more week!

YouTube video by Kevin Ayers - Topic The Lady Rachel (2003 Remaster)

lrp I really love that album though

Two panel comic out of 3 Panel 1: an anthropomorphic puma examines an album (Kevin Ayers Joy Of A Toy) and imagines it must be similar to his work with Soft Machine. Panel 2: She puts the album on the turn table and sets the needle, expecting jazz.

Panel 3: shows it is not, in fact, jazz. But what can only be described as circus music. She stands back in baffled silence, then turns and smiles grimly but with affection.

Sorry, fans of Soft Machine

Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

You don’t need Disney-level resources and drawing skills to create animation.

People have made classics with sand and a source of light. With magazine clippings, or their own bodies animated via stop motion. There’s no barrier to entry, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/sand-and-a...

BTW if you ever wanna commission an artist you don't have to have OC's or fandom characters- you can literally just be like "dang I'd like to have some more lesbian art exist" or "wow it would be real nice to see some trans rep in my culture" or "wouldn't a yellow centric painting look nice here"

Bro, sorry I was late. I was busy hooking up a banana to my aux to get the perfect fruity undertones.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Same process: first on easy, second on hard. I think some of the colors looked a little brighter on my monitor?
