Been commissioned to draw a caricature of the late great David Lynch. Took a while to get right but it's all coming together now. #davidlynch #caricature #digitalart #art #illustration

A dark, surreal illustration showing a giant purple creature with multiple twisting limbs and a single large central eye. A small silhouetted figure stands before the eye, emphasising the creature’s immense scale. The background glows green and yellow, with broken structures and floating debris creating a mysterious, otherworldly atmosphere. An eerie illustration showing a scene of borg drones hanging as puppets controlled by a imposing figure - tentacles and wrecked starships litter the background

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Kurt Vonnegut’s definition of what makes something “art” is one of my favorites I’ve seen - from a letter to his brother in 1995.
People capable of loving some paintings or etchings or whatever can rarely do this without knowing something about the art-ist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is one halt of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for sincerity? There are virtually no beloved or respected paintings made by persons of whom we know nothing. We can even surmise a lot about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caves underneath Lascaux, France. So I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to attach your name to your pictures, and to say why you hope others might find them rewarding to look at, there goes the ballgame right there. Pictures are famous for their human-ness and not their picture-ness. There is also the matter of craftsmanship. Real picture lovers like to "play along," so to speak, to look closely at the surface to see how the illusion was created by nothing but an unusual human being, with hands and eyes. If you are unwilling to say how you made your pictures, there goes the ballgame a second time. Good luck, and love as always K

Did a bit of animation for Media Death Cult. This is for breaks in-between moments in the video. Work on this mainly in after effects #digitalart #motiondesign #art #aftereffects #cyborg

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
We’ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

Never mind America threatening to leave NATO. Let's all leave first and start our own western alliance. One with blackjack, and hookers.

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.

My hand to god right before they took this photo I told Gene “Smile like you’ve never actually met me before” and this is what he did.
