Things I never expected to happen when I started drawing #432 #lego

Great chance to post my all-time favorite headline

Nick Pettigrew@nick-pettigrew.bsky.social · 8mo ago

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

now for artbooks! horrible girls is, again, not halloween-themed so much as horror-themed, but i think it'd be a fun place to get costume ideas or whatnot:

Keezy Young🌼@keezyyoung.bsky.social · 2y ago

Okay, time to announce it properly: Horrible Girls is an artbook filled with 54 horror-themed pinups inspired by retro comics and ads! I had SO MUCH fun with this project, I hope you enjoy it at least half as much as I did haha ✨ You can download the pdf here: ✨ keezyyoung.itch.io/horrible-girls ✨

The first move for Skydance after the merger announcement: fire the studio executives who brought in One Battle After Another and Sinners.

Off the top of my head, some of my favourite moments from Judge Dredd #dayofdredd

Best Of 2000AD cover what I did #dayofdredd

Rod Serling was a king. WWII paratrooper in “The Death Squad,” TV pioneer, LOUD critic of McCarthyism who knew his status as a war hero put him in a privileged position to call shit out. Wrote critiques of racism into his scripts, created The Twilight Zone to escape the censorship that brought on.

Francesco Francavilla@ffrancavilla.bsky.social · 3d ago

THE TWILIGHT ZONE debuted OTD in 1959. One of my absolute favorite shows ever. Been blessed to not only have provided several covers to the comics series over the years but to also co-write w @francazilla.bsky.social & draw our own episode, “SILENT WARNING” currently in stores by @idwpublishing.com

Unfortunately missing #DayofDredd as have prior plans however owe a lot of my politics to 2000AD & Dredd in particular, especially Unamerican Graffiti and America. And that’s not to forget the dark dark humour that runs throughout Wagner and Grant are such underrated authors it’s scandalous

The kids using “Brexit” and “AI” as insults makes me think the kids are pretty great, actually

John Bull@garius.bsky.social · 4d ago

My teacher brother has just informed me that his primary school kids now refer to anything shit or old fashioned as "Brexit". Which has made my morning.

i dislike the whole project but his paintings have always overwhelmingly struck me as NAIVE in a way that he doesnt seem to intend-- he's treating the illo as lowbrow and authorless and making a joke of putting it into Fine Art, but all i can see is man this fucker had no grasp of drawing at all lol

Ste Jormur@stejormur.bsky.social · 4w ago

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

When some comics became intangible online, paper became *visible* to artists again, leading to beautiful new paper comics. Now, when some "art" becomes inhuman, *we* become visible to ourselves again. What beautiful new *human* art might be the result?

A murder of crows? You mean caws of death??

I enjoyed WandaVision, but never bothered with Agatha All Along. Will I need to watch that in order to understand Vision Quest?

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

Time for this classic again.

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.
