Illustrated poster of the tower of Cirith Ungol in the land of Mordor. In the foreground are a bunch of orcs and goblins with acid green rim-light holding swords and axes and pole-arms. In the middle ground is a narrow bridge leading between two grotesque statues into the multi tiered tower that is lit with sickly green lights. Below it leading into the plateau of Gorgoroth are the hills of the Ethel Duath. In the distance is Orodruin and Ered Lithui. The text at the top is white flame like black metal lettering with the words CIRITH UNGOL. Nine green stars float above them. Plumes of smoke and ash fill the sky. A tiny shadow is grossing the bridge. Lord of the Rings. Tolkien. Prints on InPrint. Digital illustration of an old village lane. Choppy shapes and overlapping oranges and blues. Digital illustration of a The Lord OF The Rings cover. A Nazgûl sits astride its horse between 2 red trees that make a circle. Int he background is Weathertop, the Misty Mountains and Orodruin. Overlapping risk colours - red, teal and yellow. Some mushrooms in the foreground. Digital illustration of a vintage car. it's green. has forced perspective. hazy brush-work and fake light leaks. Does for MUTI in 2024.

Hey, it makes a lot of sense that you would be worried about icebergs on this vessel's maiden voyage — I get it.

I just double-checked the charts and this route is definitely iceberg free. But even if it wasn't, remember that the Titanic isn't just a boat; it's a modern, unsinkable cruise ship.

This is blackout poetry to me
I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

WIP 2
For in progress digital illustration of the Black Gate. It's open and Sauron's eye is looking at you. Poorly legible spiky type says the word MORDOR. Heat is emanating from Barad Dûr. It will be a riso print. in teal and red probably.

They taught Al how to talk like a corporate middle manager and thought this meant the Al was conscious instead of realizing that corporate middle managers aren't

*puts on tinfoil hat*: one of the intentional purposes of gAI is to cause climate change. The eugenicist billionaire class want that. It’s part of the plan.

Do you think the bosses of companies that punished employees for supporting Palestine have realised yet that there is an undeniable paper trail of them supporting/shielding a genocide?

Drop some HORSE

#illustration #horse
Digital illustration of a Nazgûl on top of a spooky looking horse. Mostly teal, with red tree roots in the bottom corners. The guy is holding up a sword. He's got a skeletal face. In the distance is Weathertop and some mountains and some trees. It's a crop of a larger illustration. Lord of the Rings.
