Reference photo for an illustration. It was a gun (in an antagonist's hand) in the painting. This is what I looked like in art school, anyway.

Red reflected light became a mannerism in Baroque painting. See Rubens.
Illustrator Barron Storey once told our class that in his art school days he thought it was cool, and was dotting red here & there in shadows -- and the instructor grabbed his wrist and stopped him. Said nothing.

Americans, you could have this.
Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

It's unnerving to face the fact you fly with huge quantities of jet fuel.

No word yet on casualties.

I added Concrete to a painting of the town green of New Milford, Connecticut, which we once lived near. It has a traditional bandstand gazebo and a vintage tank. My mechanic there said he worked on the car of George Wunder, the Terry and the Pirates artist. 1/2

Too bad Steranko never found himself in the right circumstances to do an actual strip about this character.
So many great design ideas lavished on the several drawings he did featuring Talon.
