#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.
The original Far Side Cow Tools Cartoon by Gary Larson. A cow stands on its hind legs behind a table, staring blankly at the viewer from behind its heavy brow ridge. On the table are four crudely made tools: a lump, a lump with an offset crooked handle, a long stick with hooked prongs at the end, and a crude handsaw with irregular teeth. In the background a barn sits on a hill. Caption reads, "Cow tools."

some recent illustrations 🐈‍⬛
cartoony digital illustration of a traffic mirror. reflected in the mirror is a neighborhood crosswalk and a black cat is crossing the street. It’s a daytime scene and there are trees in the bg of the telephone pole same illustration as the previous one but at night time. instead of a cat, there are black ghost like figures with white halos. they have green eyes staring back at you

For those unaware, "bean mouths" are a term linked to a term called "CalArts style," which has actually NO connection to CalArts graduates and was coined by former animator and rapist John K. to criticize artists who opted to Disney's style. And NOBODY really knows how they got connected.

Incredibly badly cropped two-panel Simpsons meme. Hans Moleman is in a phone booth and says “I need the worst cropped image you have… No, that’s too shit.” There is a huge amount of empty black space to the left of and above the image, while parts of the right and bottom are cut off.

So my girlfriend is an amazing stop motion animator, and she recently did a medieval cat themed bumper for Adult Swim!

Sharing it here because she only has Instagram and I think everyone needs to see her animations. She's so freaking talented, y'alls. PLEASE go follow her!

Happy 36th birthday to the Game Boy. On motorway journeys at night I could still play Mario if I tilted the screen towards the street lamps and gave myself neck-ache.
