Found these AMAZING paintings ...at an estate auction of all places! The artist is Lars Knudsen. It seems like he worked mainly during the 80s/90s, and these are originals for a series of bird posters he produced in collaboration with some zoos around Australia.

Some illustrations from the 2014 Folio Society edition of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. Will you be watching the new movie? I keep hearing it's bad, but I still kinda want to see it? 😅

So I taped a black mist filter to a cheap plastic lens, and the results are so incredibly, beautifully shitty. I love it.

made a Pokemon inspired pixel art floorplan of the entire apartment. I'm currently making it interactive (chores & active devices are shown on the map). Thinking of animating it too. Omg 😅

Some brilliant points here about illustration as a distinct art form, and its role in human storytelling. Love this!!

Nothing fills me with a sense of dread quite like the work of artist Chris Van Allsburg. When I was very young, his illustrations terrified me just as much as the ones in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but in a way I didn't even have words to describe yet. He was liminal before liminal was cool

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button
