Lol this is giving me flashbacks. "The angle of the slide looks too steep, I'm afraid the (UNDERWATER CREATURES BTW) could hurt themselves" "Please remove the fruit on the counter from the BG. Fruit will spoil if kept outside of the fridge". God I could go on....

this is def a new fav

One of my favourites from the series of spot illos I drew for WisCon's app years ago; I love drawing slightly impossible food!

I don't think I've posted this one

You can assume that most of the fictional music filling Lomy's head in my comic is Rhapsody-inspired, for one: stories.portablecity.net/stories/comi...

the singer (not a tall man) walked into the center of the circle pit while singing, and joined in the circle pit while singing, and kept the fucking operatic vocals of the song going the whole time he was in the circle pit, and that was definitely not something I'd expected to see last night.

Saw Rhapsody of Fire last night in a tiny club with one friend and the loudest crowd I have heard in a WHILE; what a glorious, absurd night.

and he didn’t even burst into flames. it’s that easy

I keep learning about new mammals I never new existed and most of them are marsupials and it’s upsetting because I feel like I have a pretty solid grasp on What Mammals Are There but I DONT

When I started learning oil pastels, I took the time to do some studies of painters whose work I love, to see how the new medium could capture different effects.

Yeah this is genuinely really good. Someone give this a theatrical release so I can add it to my letterboxd account please

i can't stop thinking about "listers". this has to be one of the best documentaries i've seen. i always love earnest deep dives into a subculture, but the craftsmanship here is unmatched, and it's SO funny. i'll write a blog about it later but... go watch this. masterpiece youtu.be/zl-wAqplQAo?...

Reminder for my fellow accumulators of stationery (pens, stickers, washi, etc.) that Halloween is a great time to destash. Kids love cool pens, markers and use stickers with wild abandon.

All set up at the Queen West Art Crawl! Come find me at Booth #424, near the playground!

Planning a Montreal visit! what's not to be missed while I'm there? Past favs are the MAC, the archaeology museum, the biodome, and every single bagel i ate in that city.

Might be a pun in here, I can't say for sure.

Getting some paintings ready for the Queen West Art Crawl this weekend! Here's a selection of new ones :D

Soft pastels are proving very rewarding! not sure i quite know what I'm doing yet but we're definitely getting closer:

One of my larger studies from learning oil pastels last year, featuring a badass in full armor holding a greatsword, and also! a tiny arachnid visitor that stopped by while I was in the early stages of this piece.

hey bsky game folks, can anyone recommend any game making tools that work on an iPad? I'm looking for kids-friendly stuff, so nothing that automatically connects you to a public marketplace or such.

A game entitled "It's Been Wonderful, but I'm Tired" about old adventurers trying to retire before the dawn of the next age renders them irrelevant.

I still think this Siren Head painting is pretty good

hey everyone: I made a pretty substantial youtube playlist of long videos of just.... walking around. Often fall-related, with rain and parks with leaves and stuff, very atmospheric with that nice autumn aesthetic. great to have on in the background while working www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Continuing to fill my sketchbooks with dragons these days, including this overly tall pearlescent one that two adventurers are having a rough time negotiating with.

Here’s step 2, with the added/edited changes. The reason this works is because it forces you to think about the colours and textures you choose, and the value/detail structure of the composition when you have to generate something new to fit into it convincingly

This was from a weekly challenge we ran at Art Corner years ago, & it’s a great exercise to help you cement what you’re observing and learning through studies of other artists, even plein air or photos. The task is to copy the reference & then add or change elements 🎨 Step 2 following in replies

Share some watery art. Here's a little friend kayaking.

really magical to log on and find an incredibly thorough bio thread about an artist I've just started researching!

TYRUS WONG THREAD!!! I love his art so much and this lovely history of him showcases a huge range of it

Tyrus Wong was an absolute legend. He faced so many seemingly unsurmountable challenges and tragedies with grace, joy, and unbelievable artistry. When asked to describe his life, Wong said 'I get to wake up every morning and see the sun. I think I've had a pretty good life.' /fin

Pamela Tom made a documentary detailing Wong's life called "Tyrus". It's free to watch online as part of the PBS American Masters series and I cannot recommend it enough, there are so many family photos and videos and interviews: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF5z...

Disney contacted Wong to work on Mulan, and he turned them down. When Warner Brothers Studio sold in the late 60s, Wong went into semi-retirement. And by that of course I mean 'picked up a whole new career' 😂 stunning, huge, and increasingly elaborate kites

I desperately want to post all of them but I will RESIST and instead just link you to this wonderful article about his commercial work which has dozens more: journalpanorama.org/article/the-...

Even though Bambi was still in production, and even though Bambi's entire style was based on Wong's art, he was let go immediately after the strike ended. Other non-strikers were allowed to stay. Wong was only credited as a "background painter" when Bambi came out. 🙃🔪

The brushwork, soft atmosphere, and keen color sense of Wong's concept art really shines through in the final Bambi style:
