NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Crazy new drawings.
Driving me up the wall.

DONE (or rather, in the process of getting done)!

Some stuff I’m working on.
When you’re in the process of making art and you’re slogging through periods of waning motivation, what do some of you fellow creators do to push through to the end? Chime-in in the comments.

Some stuff I’m working on. At this point it’s a bit tedious, I’m getting stuck, and it’s moving slowly… but I’m excited to see how out turns out.

Wow! Never knew this existed! Ever though it only ran a year, might it be worth a collection?

It’s working.

Now I’m curious about finding more Japanese stop motion work out there.

First of all, thanks a bunch for the support and responses I’ve been getting for my posts so far. This past week has been sparse but I’ve got more stuff in the works behind the scenes which will be posted regularly soon. See you then.

Alright, I’m happy with how this turned out. The image before and after making digital adjustments.

Some pretty simple drawing tests using a matte black pencil. I’m trying to lose the sheen left by the graphite.

Absolutely.
In my mind, talking a backseat or turning a blind eye to this issue is not an option. Jumping passively on the AI bandwagon is definitely not the way to go, but moralizing it away isn’t helpful either. Right now there’s a chance to at least try to shape the trajectory.

Personally I look forward to following this thread as part of an ongoing conversation about art, artists, technology and the various methods that emerge as a result.
I don’t care for the out-of-the-box uses of AI to generate art, but I’m curious as to how artists can find other way’s to utilize it.

A simple gel plate test.

That last sentence (in the Alt text) about Lamb… that’s the punchline right there!

Went a little nuts with the thumbnails. Cut up a few pages and started messing around with various sequences and layouts.

Now THAT’S a weapon! I can shave and put fear into the hearts of my enemies all at the same time!!!

‘Wear’… shame on me!

This one. Just the cover.

I really wish Jack Kirby had done some work on the Doom Patrol. The closest thing we got is some artwork from Shaky Kane for an issue during Grant Morrison’s run. A few pages of a back up story or just a cover, I’ll have to double check.
