This takes me back. There was always a handful of folks scrambling to get the correct number an hour before class.

Told my students that they have a sketchbook check-in next week and that if the haven’t been keeping up with it, they run the risk of experiencing one of my disappointed looks which are *devastating* 😔

Today, I left the doctor with a broken heart: Elias is getting worse. I swear, there is no improvement. On my knees, I beg you: please help me raise €300 for his eye drops. Imagine your child losing his last light. Please,don't abandon my son. 💔 Verified by : molly shah✅ chuffed.org/project/196611

This speaks volumes. As young graphic design student, I used to hate on Pen & Pixel’s work. What I didn’t realize in my youthful exuberance was that they created a unique visual language. Gaudy and excessive? Sure. That was the goal. And they delivered! And now people REMEMBER what they did.

Truly creative people have other creative people around them. This has been true throughout hip-hop history. So this lazy defaulting by many of today's rappers and producers to AI slop art defies the natural order. Nobody will remember your AI album cover the way they do Pen & Pixel shit.

Thank you, Gary. This is a must-read for aspiring rap folks in this day and age.

How is it that so many of these independent rappers & producers hitting me up--for coverage, playlisting, anything--don't seem to have a single graphic designer in their life? The AI slop thumbnail on the song, the "visualizer," all that? I see that before a note of music. And then I don't listen.

Bookmark websites, make a list, create a blog roll, write down portfolio URLs in a text file, a blog post, a chat message, anything! Not only does it make you type/remember the artist's name (as opposed to scrolling by) but it encourages us to keep making and maintaining a website.

His best. It’s also hella sexist, racist against Asian shipowners, homophobic, etc. “Color Blind” is the only track I revisit. There are other tracks that don’t include what’s going on in the above list.

Big Daddy V looked like he was drawn by Jack Kirby and that was awesome and we don't talk about this enough.

do you know how fucking innately talented someone has to be to have it be said about them 'you are mel blanc's successor' and have that potentially be an UNDERSTATEMENT? god

I should have lost my whimsy long ago and yet I persist. You're fucking welcome.

R.I.P. to Eric Bauza Out of all the actors who voiced the rabbit, you were the one who came the closest to Mel's original voice. You should've been around for 40 more years to voice him.
