Fanart ain't as fun as it used to be.

I wish streaming services had a "Don't fucking show me this garbage EVER again" option.

Riffing on Al Buell. One of those things I started and quickly forgot about.

Pardon me but "the 1900s" is *ONLY* 1900-1909. The twentieth century is 1900-1999 You will sound like a FOOL otherwise. Get it right. End of rant.

Nothing is more depressing than watching young artists give other young artists advice like “only use one colour palette in everything you do to have a more recognizable brand” and “draw everything with a target audience in mind”

If you see this post your getaway vehicle 🦇

Based on a tiny, crusty flipbook I saw in a vintage novelty catalog. (Another remnant from my unceremoniously terminated Ko-fi page, with due cautions)

I posted the uncensored version of these in my Ko-Fi account... and it was swiftly taken down. Not the post, the whole page. Thus ends my third attempt at subscriptions.

I've been struggling massively to create. Passion has almost left me. As an aside, I've been working on this piece for about five or six months. In that time I've drawn plenty of stuff I'll never post. You'll see it in the book they write about me, I'm sure. 😏 . . . . #art #snowwhite #goth

One more from the John Willie file, just to remind myself that I can also do realistic proportions.

I fucking hate doing this, but our disabled resident foster is in urgent care and it's very expensive on top of everything else. Anything helps ko-fi.com/applestars

A heads up -

Disney, Warner Bros., Fleischer, MGM, UPA, Terrytoons.

Drinking water feels like such an extravagance these days...

Expanded upon the John Willie girlies.

Horo-horo-horo.

Any Outlook users out there having trouble with receiving emails? I've already had 3 people tell me that replies aren't coming through.

I start the day eager to work on a project, but unless it's a commission, it all gets shot to pieces the minute I see something even slightly more enticing, which becomes priority. Then I stumble upon something else that calls me, and so it goes on til I go to bed with a still-blank canvas.

Putting this under my "Things that instantly make life better" archive.

Quote your art with glasses on! You know... I used to be something of a glasses fiend, I don't know what happened there.

Felt a little off today, so once again I raid the archives in my endless quest to escape my Faustian relationship with Instagram. (I also did a Holli picture, but the results were rather unhappy.)

New Study: Using AI for even 12 seconds reduces your brain to literal gruel A guy in the replies, always: Haha yeah, I use it, but

John Willie girl doodles.

One time my wife told me that my chronic middling luck is punishment for me being a cad and a scoundrel in a past life, and this is the very image that popped into my head.

The ad speaks for itself folks! (Seriously, my rent just got jacked up)

Ok, just finished the usual daily round of "God DAMN what a horrible, festering nightmare of a world we live in" reading, now we hit the drawing board.

I tend to soak up stuff from all over the place one way or another, but the fundamentals reside here.

Seeing literally anything about hantavirus...

Tom: "Chief?" Crow: "MCCLOUD!!"

Quick and dirty sketch of my long-suffering locomotive project, the W. Kimball.

Stick 'em up or I'll blow your brains out!

Variations on a Betty that's neither Boop or Page for a change.

This came out when Ginger Rogers was still alive, and apparently she did not allow her vocals for We're In The Money to be featured. But it does have an intro by George Raft.

Rewatching the 1980s version of Ripley's Believe It Or Not! and I swear Jack Palance's breathy, solemn, yet somewhat playful delivery can make a glass of water sound infinitely fascinating. And Henry Mancini's theme... utterly magical.

Quote with your femme fatale art 💕🔪 My gal Minerva is due for a serious comeback, but damn is it hard to cook up some good and proper lore.

I suddenly pinpointed the exact moment my childhood ended - when the Blockbuster and Pizza Hut near my house got unceremoniously replaced by a government office and a funeral parlor, respectively. I still have dreams of that place.

Rubberhose meets metal. A werewolf gal character design for @monster-mayhem-c.bsky.social , part of a long series.

1999, I was having a hard time cracking some riddles on Titanic: Adventure Out Of Time.

Saw a video of a big pink rat with a spiked collar and art was inevitable.

While picking out hairstyles for my previous picture, I stumbled upon this 1922 cover of Screenland that just begged for a little redraw.

Oh god not Revell going the Lego route and succumbing to IP collectible bullshit.....

Happy National Cartoonist Day! Artwork by B. Kliban.

Still version of today's video, looking more like a snapshot of a film frame on a light table this time. I could've stayed up all night just color grading this thing.

t's 1930, there's a full moon, you're all dressed up, but you suddenly have nowhere to go. But at least you got some liquor and moody records.

Something's always cooking around here... and for a wee $3 a month you get to see it before everyone else! Not just WIPs, and B.T.S., but also the saucier items that make Instagram and Bluesky clutch their pearls. And just to show we're serious, there's stuff in there already. ko-fi.com/cihstudios
