Hmmm...I'm always hesitant on social spaces, more of a lurker/gleener, but Bluesky seems to be more my speed so here goes.
Something old and something new.
I can do a little breakdown if anyone is interested.

LA is my home. My family is here, their lives and livelihoods and everything we hold dear. The same 24 hr period that shattered the land we welcomed a new life to our clan. This is for Odhran . Welcome home.

I’m pretty much an old fart now, but I remember a time when The Tubes were regulars on Hollywood Squares. We used to be a great country.

If these idiots ban the polio vaccine I predict the corner boys will be slinging “walking drops”. To find who’s holding just yell “MARCO” and wait for the “POLIO” refrain.

I started this about a decade ago. Noodle some, put it away. Noodle some more, put it away. I think I am ready to 3D print, after a bit more noodling. Too much noodling can kill the energy of a piece. For me finding the balance is tricky, so I let it age.

Ok, I commented on this last night, and the entire concept of reference is cheating is now a festering burr. Totally uninvited I want to wade in here. Reference is cheating is the stupidest framing for abject insecurity and laziness I can imagine. Whomever ascribes to this notion is a faffing
Reminder- using reference for art is NOT cheating. Depending on what type of artist you are, you should absolutely be using it. All highly skilled pro artists I know use it.
Art isn't a party trick, we don't have to be in the business of impressing ppl with the process. Don't hold yourself back.

I briefly worked on ID:Resurgence. It was a sprint every day due to the short prep window. A nightmare, but met some great people in the art department.
