people love cartoons. they are wildly popular. it's crazy to me that a tiny miniscule group of parasites called "shareholders" attached themselves to the animation industry & dismantled it for such short term gain. that's everything nowadays. ig the ability to do things has to be freed from money?

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

Ballpoint pen, watercolor, colored pencil, a little crayon, and charcoal pencil. 

Our guy pulls up deep in the forest on his 2-speed bike. He’s flanked by tall dark trees and his path is blocked by a massive spider. He lets the Big Fella know it’s on. “Big Fella,” he says. “I fixed my 2-speed. You still wanna race.” Reader, you know Big Fella wants in on that action. Next slide.Against a starry night sky we see silhouettes of Big Fella and our man racing down a hill. It’s unclear in the drawing who will win but Big Fella is likely about to pull away.

I hate talking about AI every day but I recognize the active danger it represents to nature and the human inspiration that has made my life worthwhile. I cannot overlook the end goal the obscenely wealthy have always had for this tech: to squeeze the rest of us even further out of a modest living.

Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: two heavyset fellas sit around an unusual, scrawny humanoid alien at a diner counter. One of the guys pushes a little basket of bread in front of the alien and says, “this here is corn bread.” Panel 2: the alien takes a small bite of the golden corn bread. The alien says, “con… bred.” Panel 3: the alien begins to hover, emitting an otherworldly light and causing gravity to shift around its immediate vicinity. A frightened waitress behind the bar shouts, “what’s happening?!”

People supporting and commissioning are all arround the world, in any situations but they keep helping out the artists they love. Thanks to them, many artists can pay rents, food, bills. If disabled: meds, custom items to help them. We have to celebrate those who help us everyday and respect us!

I drew a Pikachu (Pikaiju?) based on their original TCG card and that one episode of the anime. I doodled this directly onto the wood because I like making myself nervous. 4x5 inches, ink, markers and gel pen. #yamart
A small drawing of a giant happy pikachu destroying a city. Lots of smoke and stuff on fire from all the random thunderbolts. She is saying "PIKA."

I'm sorry that you're having to deal with so much all the time, and without any support. Anyone who is actively making things worse for you should be escorted into the ocean.

Also, there's no fucking need to produce art faster. It's not food. If an animated movie, or a book, or a music album takes five years to make, then so be it. "We need to make it faster" is a capitalistic mindset, and it's there to benefit the owners of corporations, not the workers/customers.

A three panel strip. Panel one has the artist thinking "should I make a comic for terrible comic tuesday?" The second panel has them thinking "No, I won't." The artist has left, and the third panel reads "you're welcome."

Smoke break. Ink and markers on wood (4x5 inches). The wood grain is really helping this one, but it also makes it tough to photograph. #yamart

A pokemon comic labeled "rare ditto variants." There are 3 different ditto. One is BIG FACE. The next is low boy, who has a low face. Then there's Smooth Texas, the leader of the group.

Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.

Some disabilities are invisible, but very debilitating and the judgement of such is an indication that our society is a failure to care about those around us.

*sigh* You will become disabled one day and then you will regret seeing your own prejudice being used against you. It's not a matter of if, but when. Some of us are disabled for life and we will constantly remind you that it's not sunshine and roses. We are suffering in our day-to-day lives.

That's why I like to stress the difference between being nice and being kind. Niceness is dressing. Kindness is deeper.

Afternoon smoke… #myocs #art
Sketch of Paul standing in a graveyard having a smoke, his hair is long and fluffy in an 80s mullet. The afternoon light is against his back while the rest is in shadow. He is in between his gargoyle form and there is seaweed hanging from his wing. There’s an old angel statue that looks like Jessie beside him.

in my humble opinion, it is to the benefit of the entire world for you to do all you can to heal from your emotional wounds & come out the other side. no matter how much money they steal from us, our oppressors will never have the ability to emotionally regulate. this can become an advantage.

how did they get it in the truck?!?
panel 1: an old, powder-blue pickup truck with a large wooden box in the bed pulls up next to a gazebo at night. "Here we are, Leo!"
panel 2: inside the truck, windom earle grins at leo from the driver seat. leo looks uncomfortable. "I saw Dale kissing a girl here, so we'll leave a dead body."
panel 3: leo is in the truck bed peering around the box at windom, who is standing on the ground behind the truck. "Lift with your knees, Leo!"
panel 4: the box tips forward, looming over windom. "Uh oh."
panel 5: the bottom of the box is still in the truck bed, but the top is now resting on windom earle, who is laying prone on the asphalt. leo looks down at him from the truck. "Oof, my organs... help me up, Leo."
panel 6: same as panel 5, but the sun has risen. birds have arrived and are looking for bugs in the morning light. one perches on windom earle's shoulder as he lays face-down in the road, still pinned beneath the wooden box. leo is nowhere to be seen.
