Medieval church council painted in gouache: the King sits on the trone, as if presiding over the event, while to his left stands a bishop whispering something to him as they both look over several priests in solemn prayer or debate. One priest in the foeegrownd is writing notes into a thick book.

Then, when a player scores, he drops the stick and surges into the upper part of the arena canopy, where he has to outmaneuver the opposing team’s defenders and cross some kind of “goal line” to score a “touchdown” — whatever. end/

The problem is that the player needs his hands free to operate the jetpack, so the game is played in two stages. The bottom part of the arena features a roller-skating rink where a mixture of Rollerball/roller derby and hockey is played.

I based the design on Rollerball (of course), on that adorable ’80s film Solarbabies (the hockey stick), and on a ruthless game called “Dwarfball,” which appears in the Franco-British comic book Sha by Mills and Ledroit (the jetpack).

Another sketch that somehow got lost in here — a “jetpack hockey” player for a comic book I’d like to do. The sport is played in a huge bubble-canopy kind of stadium (like in one of Jon Berkey’s illustrations). #comicart #watercolorcomics #comicsinking #scifiart #retroscifi

Warhol, as if obeying Hamlet’s advice to the actors, held up a mirror to the audience and said, “This is who you are — don’t complain now.” 3/end

But the thing with Andy Warhol, I think, is that when he was, for example, setting up Brillo Boxes in an art gallery, he did so with his tongue at least partly lodged in his cheek. 2/

With the advent of A.I.-generated imagery, there were, of course — as with any mass-produced tech gimmick — voices championing its “democratization” aspect. Naturally, those same voices were quick to play the Andy Warhol wildcard. 1/
