“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

YESSSS I love what Bob Ross said "talent is pursued interest! Anything you can practice you can do." Love will carry you when nothing else will. That fun is vital.

Between the "don't complain about money if you choose to be an artist, get a real job instead" people and the "you sold your soul in trying to make art into a career, selling art is the downfall of all creativity" people I swear artists can't win

Oh hey! It was easy to miss, but dd you know in 2008 the CIA declassified the OSS WW2 Field Manual to Sabotage? It's a very interesting insight into how regular folks fought the nazis in small & myriad ways. And who doesn't enjoy historical documents! www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Ok, after having to adjust my illustrations often because they are too dark on other screens or when printed I decided to turn down the brightness of my display from 50% to 25%. So far it seems like it was a good idea, it's easier on my eyes anyway. I wouldn't be able to watch GoT S8 on it though

Connect the dots method for freehand ink sketches. I started doing this during my urban sketches class because this was cleaner than perspective lines and I can hide most of them.

I will enthusiastically champion puppets, costumes, miniatures, stop-motion animation, matte paintings, and other heightened effects that have all the visible smudges and fingerprints of a passionate craftsperson over any attempt at realism, any day of the week.

The reason villains are typically more interesting than heroes in fiction is very simple. Heroes in most mainstream American art obey the law and uphold the status quo. If you want more interesting good guys, you need to start writing heroes who blow up pipelines and kill ICE agents.

I'm biased but I genuinely think Hollywood is leaving money on the table not commissioning bespoke illustrated posters. Outside of like Dune these are literally the only posters I remember from the past 5 years and I've only seen one of these

Visit museums, go see art in person. There are no proper words to describe how different from pictures they look and feel. Richer? Closer to the artists' vision? Certainly. But sometimes it's the difference between reading about a dragon and having one breathe fire at your face, marking you forever.

We like to think that if famous painters from the past travelled to present times they would get emotional about how beloved they became. I think most of them would indeed cry, but at how wrong the colors and textures of their work look in photographs, knowing that this is how most people know them.

Newsletter: Generative AI is a marketing con perpetuated by Sam Altman and Dario Amodei through a mixture of lies and half-truths carried by a tech media that fails to ask the right questions. Outside of ChatGPT, generative AI companies barely get any traffic at all. www.wheresyoured.at/longcon/

AI will never be able to shed its ties and inherent shared dna with far-right motives and ideology. It’s anti art, it’s anti learning and intellectual, it’s anti truth, it’s anti worker, it only serves to seize more power from the lower and working classes.

Saw a screening of a few of David Lynch’s short films. I miss seeing art made viscerally, cheaply, and for a small messy audience. It actually makes the world feel bigger and more interesting. Mass appeal shrinks it all down. Shit inspired me. Glad I saw it.

Boy howdy, do I, a trans woman, have some thoughts about how the gender revolution put a lot more emphasis on letting girls do boy stuff, and almost none on letting boys do girl stuff, which if anything reinforced the idea that girl stuff is inferior if not shameful.

Just learned that Victor Antonov just passed away - art director of Half Life 2 and art lead of Dishonoured. Probably some of if not the best art directed games of all time. HL2s has always been a massive influence on me since I first played it as a 17 year old. What a tragedy, he was only 52

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

Your favorite artists are not your skill benchmark when you begin drawing. This leads to disappointment. They have years of practice. Your aim should be doing what you can to improve yesterday's art.
