That new AI Coca Cola ad pairing cute forest creatures with the vehicle most responsible for their deaths, was a really interesting choice.

Any time someone says something like “Remember that episode of The Simpsons where…” I feel my brain change to encyclopedia mode where I’m instantly cross referencing every following word

I miss how geometric the NYC skyline used to look

The Chainsaw Man movie was incredible but the thing that stood out to me the most was the color design. Every scene I was taking mental notes.

I recently unearth my ereader that I bought like 13 years ago. Still works great, perfect for the winter subway.

How did Parker Posey not get an oscar for her performance in Scream 3

Winter villages are the scourge of NYC. They take up so much space and offer nothing at ridiculous prices. They couldn't even come up with interesting signs for this ad.

I hope the illustration historians cut everyone from this period some slack, these days you have to draw something where everything is in the center of the image so it can be cropped 6 different ways for web, not because I'm bad at composition.

I hope someone from Hollywood is getting footage of this. It's just free assets for the next Gerald Butler film.

The manosphere is taking me on an incredible journey. If I’m not in a sewing class learning how to do hand stitch repairs on all the italian shirts I’m buying by the end of the year it’s because I’ve already moved on to an even more esoteric interest.

Can you get cauliflower ear from wearing headphones too much?

I think I’m just going to stop doing digital paintings for editorial. I send in sketches, roughs, and updates but I always get “whoops, I know we approved those but can you completely change everything about this piece?”

Chick-Fil-A is irresistible to the NYC tourist. They don’t care about the artifice of trends or try to validate themselves with exotic fare. They will trample a million influencers to get the regular chicken sandwich they ate yesterday at the airport and a week earlier in their hometown.

I bet Parker Posey could do an incredible Pam Bondi impression.

Questa vignetta satirica compie 50 anni, ma è tutt'ora valida. «Stanno nuovamente avendo problemi con la loro economia». Ron Cobb, 1975.

The last thing mosquitoes see in my apartment is the nozzle of my dyson set to max

I’ve heard numerous accounts lately of people who have never seen LOTR which is like hearing someone say they’ve never eaten pizza

What if I got one of these for zooming, rotating, and moving in PS

The Myrtle St post office is a liminal space where no positive emotions exist.

Trump is such a fool. Going to an unexpected state visit at a castle, 100 dinner guests, the king will be there??? The perfect setup for a british murder mystery.

I wonder if I could teach my retired parents how to do flats?

Silently gesturing wildly at the girl on the subway with a roach crawling up her leg

Oh damn that Jujutsu Kaisen trailer 🤌

I was eating dinner at some burrito spot's backyard and there were rats just casually walking around and climbing over the walls. Seemed problematic.

I wonder if cultures who write right to left, draw that way too? Like their compositions instinctively get designed in that way too. I’m dyslexic so it’s never been an issue for me.

I was walking around the japanese bookstore today looking at all the covers, thinking how cool they were and thought wow being an illustrator is such an interesting job

Lawrence d'Arabia - Charles Gordon Sergio Toppi Tratto dal Giornalino nº 28 del 13 luglio 1988. Oggi sul blog.

I was wondering why the Chinese Consulate looked so weird but now I'm wondering if they kept the swimming pools

I take a vibes approach when it comes to drawing perspective.

I think Eric Adams saying completely weird and unhinged things lately is a great campaign tactic. You want to keep him in office to see how far it can go.

imagine a live action Chainsaw Man starring Tim Robinson as Denji

One of these days I’ll commit to drawing feet better

They should have “hobby swap” meetups where you go and trade all the stuff that you used to be into for a new hobby. You often see people just dumping this kind of stuff out on the sidewalk in NYC when they move or something, like a hermit crab’s discarded shell

I had a dream about going to a bar/club that looked like the IKEA showroom with different rooms you could hang out in

Me and who?

Here's a combo for all my tea heads out there: barley tea + Trader Joe's brown sugar oat milk creamer

Sometimes I wonder what the horses in movies are thinking

I wonder if NYC has ever done a study on how much consumer spending is lost for businesses due to subway repairs/construction. It must be in the 10s of millions every weekend to have the G down.

I spilled tea all over my desk so I’m taking this as a sign to stop working for the day.

Saul Steinberg was great at drawing horses

kinda funny that people did serifed graffiti in the old west, it's all most too on brand

The craziest statistic I've heard is that investment in AI this year is greater than all consumer spending.

Someone should make a Yakuza kind of game but it takes place in a perfectly recreated 1980s LES. Maybe you're a punk, maybe you're an aging jazz musician.

It would be interesting to hear from an AD what the difference in production time is today compared to earlier when less staff were working remotely. It seems much slower but idk.

6166 forms are such a joke. -$85 application fee -Takes over a month to get to you -Can not be applied for/or paid for online -Have to reapply every year And what you get is a single piece of paper with 2 sentences on it saying you file taxes in the US.

Did they ever finish Bartkira, is it still happening

Are “Where’s Waldo” type illustrations 50% of jobs now?

started watching Dark again for the 5th time
