A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

Rocky and Rosie, after Animal Crossing!

I just said this to a friend, but I want all artists to know this:

"Your art will always be good. It's not slop! It's made with love and care. That speaks volumes! Doesn't matter if it's not "professional" quality. What matters is that you made it. That's what makes it really good."

Keep drawing!

I don't want to shoot videos
I don't want to post tutorials
I don't want to show my process
I don't want to pour varnish
I don't want to turn my canvas
I don't want to record my screen
I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships
I just want to make pictures and shitpost

Watching “autumn week” on a rerun of Great British Baking Show, and I must say, the Irish WENT OFF when they invented Halloween

I mean, Ms Alexander, of course YOU know Disney is not your friend, but it is a company that works overtime at cultivating that myth

Have a good day, your art is amazing

Vile! Indefensible! Bereft of conscience or integrity OR any scrap of artistic sense!
Important to remember: NO corporation is your friend

Wait wait I havent told you about the best part! Disney just fired 1000 of their employees, mostly artists, and replaced them with AI that copies their art. What a time to be alive, fellas!

A bowman in black draws his longbow. Next to him, another bowman, handsome, crouches with foot resting on a rock. His bow is in his hand. At his other side, a boyish sprite.

From an original Story idea by John Reppion, alas, this project never came out. But I loved the idea. #bowman #fantasy #penandink

terfs aren't real. you've been bamboozled into hating women for enforcing their own boundaries.

terf = feminazi = witch

Hey! That American pope is outspoken and clear! Good for Leo!

The one time I feel like making a puckish controversial post to stir the pot and kick up my heels… and I can’t think of a darn thing to say

Disney Layoffs Hit Marvel Studios Hard The Academy Award-winning artists behind some of Marvel's biggest hits are among the casualties from company wide staff reductions.

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers.

Absolutely heartbreaking 😔
Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!
