people saying this have no idea why the dedication in demon copperhead was "for the survivors" - if you've never run brown water from your tap or lived in a house threaded with coal dust in the land where scarcity is god, you don't get to talk about my home

i'll prolly never finish this #batman drawing bc i can't bring myself to change jason's expression 😭 SOMEONE GO ASK GREG RUCKA WHY HED PUT ALL THESE TINY ROBINS IN THE SAME EPISODE #batfam
an unifinished sketch emulating the style of a graphite drawing, featuring batman with the cowl pulled down holding a young stephanie brown while dick grayson (age 12) gives jason todd (who has a comically enraged expression) an intense noogie. alfred pennyworth's back faces the viewer and he's saying, "the provisions, sir," while holding out a tray with 1 bottle of jet-fuel like caffeine

This Jack Kirby X Jackson Pollock mashup was part of a series I shopped together for kicks. A big art account swiped it on Twitter (which is fine, I don’t own either of the respective pieces, I just smooshed them together) but it stirred up a bunch of controversy from purists. 🤭

Batman and Catwoman by the great Eduardo Risso. #comics #art
Beautiful black inky goodness for a solid background with the Chrysler building lit up by some light from without and within. Risso using negative space brilliantly for the lighting. Batman swings by in the foreground holding onto Catwoman.

reminder that Vonnegut's quote about political art being a custard pie dropped from a ladder is about that art in the context of television and the way tv "holds attention" - how the media serves political power & militarism the quote's been decontextualized to make protest & art seem foolish

grown adults are on the internet complaining that literary critics do, in fact, critique tense, because it does, in fact, matter. hot take: if you're angry about that you might oughta consider taking the advice. maybe some people do actually know things you don't, and maybe their expertise matters

Jason, in the foreground, is absolutely eating Dick's pie with no regrets.Jason stands at a hot dog cart, chatting amiably with the vendor. In the next panel, Jason talks unintelligibly with his mouth full, holding a sausage in a bun that is 20% sausage and 80% toppings.Jason carrying or dragging along the de-aged versions of Damian (baby), Tim (toddler), and Dick (young child). He yells for Bruce to take his fucking kids.
