Some stickers I designed for a conference themed off Leonard Cohen’s quote ‘forget your perfect offering, there’s a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in’ #illustrator #illustration

Some notes from this past weekend #visualnotes #sketchbookart #drawing

It would be fun for Studio Ghibli to sue OpenAI, mainly because it would be a good narrative bookend to this horseshit and because anybody on OpenAI’s side would be a freak. It’s the weeb version of getting sued by Santa Claus.

Got to lead a workshop this past weekend at the Breath & the Clay conference in Winston-Salem NC, focusing on rediscovering the wisdom of the hand. We had a small room full of willing attendees who threw enthusiasm and trust into the process resulting in some wonderful drawings that played back!

Although unpleasant, air turbulence does create some interesting make making potential! #inkdrawing #sketchbook #sketchbookart

Latest sketchbook page. Not sure I can explain it. #sketchbook #sketchbookpage

This is my hottest take: U2 gets far too much undeserved hate.

The world feels heavy and dark, those in power wield it foolishly, and we worry about the future however sometimes your 6 year old daughter who is learning to write plops something in your lap and all you can do is cry a few tears of hope. “Even in the dark there is still art”

Got around to scanning in and piecing together a couple spreads from a larger sketchbook I finished this fall. #sketchbookspread #drawing

George Grosz, ‘Eclipse of the Sun’ Although 99 years have passed since this painting was completed, businessmen still whisper in the ear of those that bear the sword. Mindless bureaucrats blindly obey and those with ears to hear remain ignorant while the youth are trampled.

Now that Canada has won the Four Nations Cup, we can all admit that it was a silly idea right?

Would love to hear some #sketchbook recommendations. I’ve been using Rhodias recently (the Touch, which was great but expensive and not enough pages, and the Webnotebook which has a lot of pages and good paper, but not perfect). Ideally I like my sketchbooks black, with an elastic and pocket!

I’ll be running a workshop on why bad drawing is good at this event in March. Excited to join my friends in Winston-Salem, NC!
