The most boring post in the world, I know, but does anyone have a clue how these light bulb covers come off?
I unscrewed the white plastic ring, but there's a cover beyond it which I have no idea how to remove 😂

I'm sorry to hear that artist Ron Tiner has passed away. We collaborated on a short series I wrote for Oink! back in 1988 so I've written a piece about him on my blog today.

I've not read much stuff drawn by Boichi yet, but the little I have read made me love his work. These great faces are from Dr Stone vol 1. I need to read more!

One of the reasons I hate gen AI is that I can't trust photo ref any more. I've been trawling Pinterest to find some fun photos to do practise drawings of, but I find myself second guessing every image, is it real or not?

At some point in my late teens I realised perhaps I should be proud I'd never smoked a cigarette. My fancy pink lungs never once clotted up with tar. Now in my 40s I still never have. Why break the streak?
Well I'm starting to think ChatGPT might be one like that. Keep our brains nice and pink.
