A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available.

There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism.

Support real artists, not con artists.

I’ve looked up so much 1920’s slang trying to read this beast and I’m still pleasantly confused

It’s interesting seeing the effect the end of the war had on people. If this publication is any accurate indication, people came home to boredom, joblessness, trauma, and wealth inequality. Some things never change

This publication is brimming with energy, history, political cartoons, and a jaw-dropping amount of racism. I didn’t think about that last bit when I bought it 😬

A worn red hardcover book. On it is the gold-leafed figure of a little jester with a hooked nose. I believe this is Punch, of Punch and Judy fame.

An ink illustration of a man holding aloft a hammer and lightning bolts, which are labeled “strike”. The man’s belt is labeled “labour”. Below him is an angelic woman wearing a headpiece labeled “peace”. The page is titled “Punch Vol. CLVII”.

An illustration of a disgruntled man in a top hat and tailcoat, holding a golf caddy bag by a loose golf club, similarly to how one would hold an umbrella. Text: “Must have brought away the wrong umbrella.”

A cropped image of an ink drawing. A tall woman with short hair accompanies a little girl on a lawn. They appear to be in the middle of a game of croquet. What stood out to me about this image is the girl’s haircut: it looks like something you might see in the 60’s, decades after this page was printed.

It arrived! I now own a compiled book of Punch issues from 1919. Those illustrations are full of so much charm

Paging @tendermiasma.com

As an illustrator I hear “so you do, like, graphic design?” And it makes me want to scream lol

Put very, very simply: "the further things are from the camera, the closer they are to each other."

Remember, when you order something from Amazon, Jeff Bezos won't even notice the difference in his bank account. When you order something from an artist, you're helping them buy more art supplies, pay living expenses, or maybe even get a little treat.

Show me your guts! It's Out Of Touch Thursday!

“Turkey doesn’t taste good” well maybe you just don’t know how to cook

It’s certainly a shocking concept but I feel it was handled well

I deserve a little treat so I bought a magazine from 1919

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw.

( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

Image from the July 1, 1899 issue of "The Illustrated Police News", captioned "THRASHED BY A LADY CYCLIST, noted for her athletic powers", and featuring, as the caption indicates, a lady cyclist thrashing a (and I presumably need to use this term lightly gentleman, as her bicycle lays nearby and a crowd of aggrieved 19th Century dudebros look on in horror.

@trungles.com has a lovely post about creating fan art of our favorite childhood books, with a beautiful Strega Nona drawing. The responses are equally beautiful. Go have a look.

Here’s my own 🎨 piece, for Harold & his purple crayon. I remember wanting to have Harold’s magical powers SO BADLY.

a wide panoramic view of a hallway with a door on the left and a star shaped window on the right. 2 characters, a princess and a squire holding a torch are walking in front of the door, away from a 3rd character, another squire, looking out at the stars. The squire holding the torch is looking back at the stargazing squire.

I've been quietly working away on my debut graphic novel, a story 8 years in the making, and very dear to my heart. As the book gets closer to completion, I plan to share more of my process and this world with you. Until then, an offering...
