Taking a big swing this January on the new apps; the big return of my Monster Mash January Challenge! Please join me in making some art based on 31 of the fiercest femmes in cinema history! I’m a chiller on the challenges; all media welcome (no AI!). I’ll make some low-impact lists, too.

Spread this like wildfire now. General strikes work.
every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

If you are in Seattle, please go patronize this store because this is amazing content/promo 😂 (laughing to keep from crying, and I do kind of low-key want that orange spider plant I have never seen that before)

Where do we sign?
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

#PortfolioDay!!
I’m Ryan, a traditional artist learning to love digital. I love folklore and pop culture, and love examining each through the lens of the other.

Hey, fellow Southern Californians -

Please amplify this wide and far.
A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

Day Twelve: Annie Wilkes. RIP Annie, you would have loved the Snyder Cut.

Day Eleven: Lady Sylvia Marsh from Lair of the White Worm.
This movie rules so hard, and the Lady Marsh is an all-time great!

I finally finished a portrait of my sweet Harvi Dent, who passed last year. I miss her so much.

This is so real, they tried it this morning in Bloomington. They stopped a man, people started honking horns, they split up to fuck with everyone else, which brought more attention and more noise, people got out of their cars and started filming, they left. They're cowards.
obviously not in the sense that it’s stopping everything, but they are being stalled so much by trying to find places where they aren’t watched, wasting so much manpower and resources on crowd control and even arresting observers they know will just get released. i am so proud of everyone

Day Nine: Gozer. We’re back with the first new piece in the series! Gozer is one of those instantly recognizable designs I learned a lot about while trying to draw.

Day Seven: Carrie White. I was excited for this one because Sissy Spacek’s face during the finale is *unreal.*

Day Six; Sugar Hill. I’ve been meaning to draw her for a long time; I have another piece I haven’t posted yet, but it feels like it’s a slightly different style.

Day Five: Pannochka. 1967’s folk horror classic VIY is a pretty slow burn… until it dives fully off the rails at the end. At the heart of it all is Pannochka.
