Steranko color guides for Our Love issue 5. 1/2

Last week was a total writing showcase… Comics on Wednesday (Herne & Shuck in 2000AD) Novel on Thursday (Scratch Moss from Canelo) Journalism on Friday (Cancer piece for the Observer).

Shut up and look at Alan Davis' Batman.

Learned from Prof Louise Archer’s Presentation that there’s an excellent sociological phrase for the new male “traditional” backlash against women & EDI. It’s called patriarchal melancholia. What Freud would describe as a narcissistic wound or injury.

I know the last 20 years makes Americans flatten what they about the Middle East into war propaganda, but we really have to reckon with what we are doing to the people of Iran Tehran is a city on par with NYC, in terms of size and economic impact, we are reducing it to rubble & poisoning the air

Would anyone who does game art professionally be willing to talk with me about pricing? I need to make a price table and my last one for game art is seven years out of date.

“From the height of the port crane” Rudolf Baranov, 1974

A couple of my freelance contracts are wrapping up soon so if anyone has narrative/design work they're looking for help with lmk

I rarely talk about personal stuff on here, but I recently removed myself from an unsafe situation, and am currently trying to recover financially. I am putting it out there that I'm available for work either as an artist or art director. If anyone is interested please get in touch! ❤️

We’re so proud of @rachaelsmith.bsky.social and @paulcornell.bsky.social for being shortlisted for this award! 🎉 Who Killed Nessie? is a contemporary fantasy murder mystery. It’s hotel manager Lyndsay’s first day on the job - Nessie has been murdered and it’s up to her to solve the case!

ECSTATIC to been able to have added another original page by one of my Art Gods: SERGIO TOPPI! Look at this beauty and at the masterful ink work! From a 1973 story.

Looking into the ocean #sciart

Feel really proud to have contributed to this one. The book is beautiful, the interiors are so kinetic and expressive. Chefs kiss.

Stramash colour bits , have put together a little book of black and white sketches type thing more to scratch my own itch but will print some up once I work out the best way to do it.

Poster art for Jack White in Mountain View with the Kills. I only have one of the light blue variants so I've never put it up for sale. And there's one rainbow foil left in my shop shop.jenniferdionisio.com/product/jack...

My old pal Matt Murdock— THE DAREDEVIL!

First watercolor pass on these mermaids! I love the challenge of getting the main color and value decisions made within the first hour of work. Next I'll put masking fluid on the netting so I can get nice dark washes on the lower portion of the mermaids while maintaining the lighter lines.

And they're done! I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm starting to feel a little more confident in being able to produce finished illustrations in traditional media, not just studies. 😊This is watercolor + gouache., with a little bit of color pencil and pastel for final touches.

The film follows an Irish refugee girl and a Choctaw boy who meet in 1847 New York and journey across America together, drawing on the real historical bond between Ireland and the Choctaw Nation.

I’m drawing a map of the Labyrinth. The problem is no one has ever mapped it completely. Every path changes. Every map is only an attempt. This is mine. #labyrinth #mapmaking #darkfantasy #worldbuilding #artprocess

Cool psychedelic travel posters by Bob Bride:

A really slow year (years, honestly) has left me feeling more than a bit invisible and lost in this business. So I'd like to take a moment to reintroduce myself, remind you I'm here, and show you what I do. Hey there! I'm Vince and I draw comics. And doing that is all I want in the world.

If I offered 13 spots drawing your favorite musicians for 100 bucks a piece would any of you be interested? The original you'd get would be 4.25 X 5 and black and white. Willing to draw whole bands too for 250 (8.5 X 11)

If you don't have much money you might think original art is out of reach, but my little miniatures are only £15, affordable to start a collection of to give as a gift! folksy.com/find/item/86... #OriginalArt #Drawing #Watercolour #Miniature #Painting #Artwork#GiftIdeas #ArtShop #ShopIndy #bsnm
