These posts brought to you by the Cats the Musical sweatshirt in Project Hail Mary sending me into a philospohical charybdis of how absolutely unhinged some 1980s musical theate looks today.

You know, I assembled a very respectable outfit today. And yet, here I am, having taken off the nice shirt so that I jcould eat pasta with marinara sauce.

This movie is to adventure movies what Terry Pratchett said Tolkien’s work is to the fantasy genre. Or Bernie Wrightson is to comics artists.

Here’s Carla, Marla and Darla from The Great Muppet Caper - clearly the best of all the Muppet Movies. I drew this after rewatching the movie when Diana Rigg passed away.

I'm looking for 30-60 minute videos for themed short pose figure drawing sessions. 30 second poses moving through a gesture or acted persona, then 60 seconds, topping out at 5 minute poses max. If that was something in your videos, I totally missed it & would love to know it!

Hello my fellow artists. I need your wisdom! I follow & patreon support some stock ref creators (Hi @adorkastock.com !) But I haven’t found any stock makers out there who focus in footage rather than still images. If you know anyone who does, please drop a recommend and/or link here!

This is from a lockdown-era figure drawing session. I was fresh out of a mind blowing gesture class I’d taken at the animation guild and was just having the best time.

Again, I'm an art major. Last month I learned that the marble work in a specific area of Italy follows the same 5 color palette (black, cream, grey, red and white) no matter which monument you visit. THAT is where my mind should be right now. But instead: will food be safe next year?

Suzannah Rowntree @suzanimated.bsky.social · 16/07/2025

Knowing that this is all nonsense hasn't helped stop any of the nonsense so far ... but ffs, can we at least talk about why the spin is a lie? Can like a major news channel or publication talk about this?

So this whole natural food dyes thing requires absolute trust in the US food manufacturing industry to voluntarily self-police their products to the low, low bar of not poisoning people. No one has that trust, obviously.

So, sure. It's probably fine to replace Red 40 with beet juice and stop using Citrus Red 2 to make your orange peels extra vibrant. But no one is going to be employed to open one box in every crate of cereal to check that all those red loops are actually made with beet juice and not madder root.

This is the picture that did it. This is a quick draw of a moving target, that's amazing enough, but you can also feel in the picture what the artist thought and felt about this man. That's a spark in art that can't be taught, and makes the difference between an expert and a master.

Obviously his technical skill is incredible, but what makes a truly great artist is the feeling they captured. When I saw his work in the Emmett Till exhibit in the Chicago History Museum, I stopped dead.

Franklin McMahon was an illustrative reporter working for Life Magazine when he was in the courtroom covering the trial of Emmett Till's murderers. He's been published almost nowhere that's available now, but you'll can see a lot of his quick draws here.

I don't believe any of the big names, but you'll see a lot of one-offs and secondary/tertiary character overlap if you look at a list of public domain novels.

I have pledged! One of my favorite things about Rodney is how well timing is handled. Its a skill for a comics creator to be able to control the pace of the reader, and it's done so well here! Comics students should for sure be looking at this. www.kickstarter.com/projects/rod...

Alice In Wonderland is a very vintage text with a lot of things that don't make sense outside of the fact that it was written to be silly. However. The gag of someone reciting a scholastic lecture when everyone is soaking wet because 'it's the dryest thing I know' stands the test of time.
