Okay one more from December 2024 – I was (and still am) pleased with these chunky freehanded hands!
#discoelysium #cuno
An acrylic pen drawing of Cuno, a character from the video game Disco Elysium. He is a young boy with red hair and freckles. He points to his templates and is saying “Cuno doesn’t fucking care!” which is a tagline of his.

Hi! I think I'll try to post here more… turns out I haven't shared any of my "most-days-daily drawings" in nearly a year?! One year-ish ago I binge read Seth Dickinson's The Traitor Baru Cormorant and the sequels. They rocked my world. If you know, you know!
A drawing of two women, one facing forward with a white mask covering half her face, and the other in profile speaking into her ear. The one speaking, meant to be the character Tain Hu, says to Baru, the one with the mask: “You will find no power behind the mask. It will wear you. It will eat your face.” – a quote from the book The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson A hand lettered quote on red, orange, and yellow ink: “Her fury had nothing else to eat and so it began to eat her.” – a quote from the book The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson An ink drawing of a cartoonish person laying flat on the floor with an arm draped over their face. The other arm holds an open book, and they are lit by a spotlight. Writing above reads “Finished reading Baru Cormorant”

The first Peanuts strip by Charles M. Schulz was published on October 2, 1950.
Four black and white panels of a boy and girl sitting on steps. 1st panel: Charlie Brown is approaching and the boy says “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

I have said for decades that frustration is a good thing.

it's not even really something I see as something to 'tolerate' though I recognize that's a matter of perspective, but rather frustration is the symptom of you having standards and recognizing you want to close that gap between you and it

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Why is everyone in Canada who is talking about Charlie Kirk, talking like we're the 51st state?

Sandy and I break down what his murder means for Canada, how we should understand it and resist the purges that are coming here too.

between the tariffs and genAI it makes any art that crosses your path, indie or mainstream, a hard-fought miracle. really appreciate the creativity you see because artists of all stripes are really working against an avalanche intent on burying us

Out of Oxford - an older painting of mine depicting Lyra, Will, Pantalaimon and the cat from The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman. My vision of Cittàgazze.
Lyra, the Cat and Pantalailmon run through a portal between worlds. Will runs beside her with his father's journal. The two of them escape into the town of Cittàgazze.

Paradise Dragon. This beauty appears in 'Surviving Strangehollow', the #5e game by @accidentalcyclops.bsky.social which you can still pre-order HERE: accidental-cyclops-games.pledgemanager.com/projects/sur...
You can find prints of it here: www.emilyhare.co.uk/collections/... #dragon #rpg #dnd
a glorious pink hued feathered dragon sits on a branch surrounded by lush green jungle. It has a slender feathered narrow tail with a plume of feathers at the end, and sleek curved pink wings with dark tips and claws at the bend of the wing so it can clamber up tree trunks.
