What a gut-punch. I have so many great memories of listening to Black Sabbath growing up. He was one of the greats. *sad bat squeaks*

Well done on the atmospheric perspective parts. That must have been tricky

Also, I demand you like my bat picture 🦇

This is my most recent piece, Bat Boy!

I drew, carved and printed it in a mad dash to make it in time for an art market. I'm pretty happy with this goober's face.

I don't even want to know anything about musicians I like. Too afraid of finding out something terrible that will ruin the music.

In that case, a decent graphic designer will be your best bet for help laying out the design and then you can take the file to a regular print shop which will be much more affordable. 🙂

Also quantity of course matters in the production method you will want to go with.

It depends on how authentic you want it to look. A graphic designer can mimic the look and print it digitally. For the most authentic, a letterpress studio could do the printing where they use photo-polymer plates and a printing press. They will also be knowledgeable about paper types.

AI art 😞

I see so many substacks linked I want read and then feel crushed seeing AI in the masthead. I'm not reading your legal essay if you throw some desecration of studio Ghibli on there to help make your point.

Sad to see what it has become. They want to tear it down of course but I think it would be best as ruins. We need more ruins in this country

Did Ginsburg write that?

I just completed the drawing for a new lithograph, something I haven't done in about 10 years. I'm excited to print it up soon.

Pathetic

A lot of gold ink is pretty terrible, partly because the grind isn't great. If you try either Cranfield's or Charbonnel, you will probably have the better results.

I see this in links to substacks which I may want to read and just refuse to follow them. It's pretty depressing to see how common it has become

It may be in related to the American Physical Society and the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of quantum mechanics. There are some international events/conferences going on about it.
