Feeling I'm constantly returning to the advice of Sonic Youth (itself a trenchant cultural entity to apply the following to): KILL YR IDOLS There's only peers: no superiors & no one "to look up to" in a sense of having put them on a pedestal, as there's less opportunity to be disappointed by them.

Morning.

from my archive, but still relatable!

Okiie Hashimoto (1899-1993)

We should be ashamed and embarrassed to be a society in which people will willingingly, actively, point a loaded gun in the face of a fellow citizen. A free society should be one where government employees don't put a gun to your face when you're exercising a core tenet of said society: free speech

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Kiyoshi Awazu has a keen interest in film and was part of avant-garde filmmaking circles as a poster designer and filmmaker.This interest in Film was also shown in his striking cover designs for Quarterly Film, a magazine launched in 1968 by Film Art Company designreviewed.com/kiyoshi-awaz...

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

🎄Puertas abiertas en el estudio!🎄 ⛄Viernes 19 de diciembre de 18 h a 21 h ⛄Sábado 20 de diciembre de 11 h a 14 h y de 17 h a 19 h Por la ocasión voy a exponer los originales y el proceso visual del Calendario 2026. También habrá bebidas, música y pica pica. ¡Te espero!

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

New drop of scans from my sketchbook! You can see all the pages here: www.patreon.com/posts/145990...

So happy to show you more pictures of the calendars!! I still have a few copies available here: giuliasagramola.bigcartel.com

Another illustration from my 2026 Calendar! This is the art show, and I had lots of fun painting the art pieces. There's a cat in the crowd that doesn't seem very comfortable with this virile dog art. Can you spot him? Also, the mama dog loses her puppy in each image. Where is it in this one?!

Some behind the scenes from my 2026 calendar making. Last hours to order it with a discount at: giuliasagramola.bigcartel.com using code 2026PUPPY

Happy Halloween! Here's an illustration from my 2025 calendar. I think I did the entire calendar just as an excuse to draw a Halloween dog parade, which is one of my favorite things ever. Today we dressed Pippin as a bat, and it was super cute to see people's reactions!

Tomorrow is the last day of @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social so I HAD to go back and buy more comics! First screenshot is my first round of purchases. So many more things I was curious about that I had to leave out... Please please please support comic artists and indie events like these!

Nunca os he pedido nada y hace años que abandoné el activismo profesional, pero os agarro de las solapas os acerco con cariño y os digo miradme a los ojos miradme y prometedme que vais a pedir a vuestros clientes un aumento de las tarifas antes de la campaña de navidad.

Thank you, Chicago.

Last few days for splurging in new pdf comics on @shortboxcomicsfair.bsky.social ! This year I didn't took part as an artist but I did as a happy reader, I got so many beautiful things, and I'm planning to buy some more. Support indie comics!

¡Mañana llega a librerías el mejor libro del año! (Aunque en algunas ya está disponible ❤️🤡)

Don't send an illustrator AI images you generated as a reference for what you want. It's unethical, misleading, as AI uses lots of stereotypical means, plus it's lame.Do an ugly doodle of what you want on a scrap of paper, instead.Our job is to visualize your ideas. I promise it'll work even better.

Por si acaso se repite: - una vida vale más que un coche o una moto. - ponerse en peligro a uno mismo es poner en peligro a los demás. - si os quieren obligar a trabajar en estado de alerta, denunciad. - mejor si al final no ocurre nada. - Mazón es un asesino y debería estar en la cárcel.

Some polymer clay magnets I made for my gachapon machine! I really like how they turned out! 💖 #art

Republican Flip Flop

This year, I started teaching Illustration for Publishing. Right now, most of my students are sending me multiple emails a week to review the work for their upcoming exam. If I were paid for all the times they sent me their work titled "project.pdf" without adding their name and surname, I'd be rich
