Ah, buttons at last! Go over to the Inprnt store and get yourself some goodies why don't ya. (Seriously I'm only one measly sale away from getting my dues).

Oh right, I have an account here. I've been (thankfully) busier than usual, and time for personal art or even doodling has been a bit lean. Still, stuff gets done somehow- like these Elvgren warmup doodles.

Finally, some art! A few ideas for Halloween, mostly based on real designs and costumes from the 1920s to the 1950s. The paper bag was quite the popular choice, it seems.

Oh this one's for me- -Phones with coiled cords, pre-1950 -The egregious "Crapohone" -Press photographers using Pacemaker Speed Graphics pre-1947 (Bonus if the bellows is all the way out) -Flashbulbs before 1930 -Records spinning at 33 1/3 rpm when it should be 78 -High fives before the 1970s

More specific examples- - Back To The Future part III prominently shows modern knuckle couplers on the train, when it should be link-and-pins. - In The Aviator, the men's suits are tailored in the modern, loose fitting, low-armhole style, which is glaring whenever someone raises an arm.

And so it begins... I head over to the Food Network site for a quick bit of info, and got redirected to the site of WB and Paramount's executioner.

The moment you write a single word or sketch a single line, you've alienated or pissed off someone. It's impossible to avoid. In fact, avoiding it leads inexorably to bland, joyless, pointless "content". And there's a flipside to this...

One thing they don’t tell you about being a working artist is that every once in a while a picture is simply Haunted and, for reasons beyond the reach of man, simple things you have done a thousand times will be Very Hard and Look Bad and you will lose ten years of skill for the duration of that job

Apparently this year decided to take Gerrit Graham from us too... Sadly, I only know him for one thing, but it's one of my favorite nonsensical fictional characters of all time

Heard it's #BatmanDay and thus I'm whipping out this absolute favorite of mine. I have three more BTAS villains in this style in the works, but one way or another they keep getting sidelined. Mainly on account of R&D, 'cause they have to look *just right*.

What happened to the crazy inventor making stuff in his garage trope? When I was a kid in the 90's it was so common It seemed like a legit career path, now you hardly see it anymore and I feel like theres a darker reason for that shift. In modern media science is done in a lab owned by a corporation

Things I was frightened of as a child: 1. UFOs 2. Religious apparitions 3. El Semanario De Lo Insolito 4. Lou Jacobs 5. Getting abducted by said UFOs and placed in a jar as a lab specimen

“Is your mayonnaise too spicy? Does seeing a four story apartment complex fill you with unnatural dread? Are you worried your kids might hang out with ‘those people?’ If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, try our new BEEEIIIIGGEE line of bland, uninspiring children’s toys!”
