As a kid, I would catch bugs, put them in jars, and keep them in my room. I would catch all sorts of bugs. I even caught wasps and bees. I had an appreciation for them from very young. These illustrations take me back there.

Le Dragon Noir

A parody of course of the famous "Le Chat Noir" poster by Theophile Steinlen.

Will be available as a poster at Anime Expo! You can also purchase it online in my storenvy HERE.

I’m pretty sure this has been done before… I don’t care I’m doing it anyway cuz TOOTHLESS *dies of cuteness* (watch HTTYD2. DO IT. Do it NOW.) I’m also sorry if I butchered any French (THANKS teechew for correcting me so grateful aaaah) or the Viking symbols.

Catalonia bans bullfighting. I heard Spain wants to cancel it too. And yes I’m a cruel person, I don’t care for animals. Like really.

Fuck bullfighting.  It's not even a "fight".  Throw a naked unarmed man into a ring with an angry frightened bull and we'll see how many fans are cheering on their "sport".  And afterwards slaughter them BOTH.

A card I got when I was a kid - no idea on the artist.

A damn shame

god the androgyny of the rider makes my love for this x1000

First, I love this. Second, my research on the matter of who to credit has come up fairly empty handed. It was the cover of La Vie Parisienne magazine in April 1924, but I can’t find the name of the artist though several people sell prints of this work online. Oh well, if anyone can do any better please pass it on.

THANK YOU! This has been a beloved image my whole life, but I discarded the back a long time ago. This is quite helpful!

YEEEEEES. Just figured out who this image is by (though I can’t find any title), after a good half hour of searching. It’s the 1924 “La Vie Parisienne” cover, done by George Leonnec. The signatures (on the full print) match and everything. 3,800+ reblogs and no one’s figured it out, AND I JUST FIGURED IT OUT.

Yup, I am just that cool.

By the way, this is officially my favorite picture right now. So gorgeous. I’m going to go buy a poster of it or something now.

This George Leonnec was a pretty rad artist.

I’m pretty sure this could be an illustration for any of Lovecraft’s short stories.

Lady Eboshi was awesome.  You know why?  Because she looked at a town full of abused and exploited women and said “Fuck this shit”

And they said “Look lady these girls are just trying to earn a living”

But Lady Eboshi didn’t take that shit.  She said “Well I’ll buy them and if they want they can come with me.”

“Lady you are hysterical you can’t afford…”

“Fuck you.  I’m paying for all of it.  And you know how?  These ladies are going to work for me.  I’m going to pay them to make iron for weapons and you are going to buy those weapons.”

LATER

“Your town is so big and succesful the Emperor wants it.  You better sell out now because all of those natural resources are protected by the Gods so you might as well…”

“Fuck the Gods.  Fuck the Emperor.  Fuck your shit.  It’s my hot town I’ll do what I want.”

<3

Best.

My Big Uber-collection of the best art e-books I’ve found so far for you to download and to study!

As promised, and as long put-off, here are my favourite pdf art books, these are the best of the best I’ve found in my travels! They’re all great but each author has a specific area he’s great at:

Bridgman: really sketchy, like sometimes almost too much. Good for proportions though and seeing how things fit together.

Burne Hogarth: really stylized and so not quite 100% realistic, but he portrayed the 3D shapes really well, and if you study this and keep his drawings in mind when you draw people, your figures will have a much more realistic weight distribution.

Jack Hamm: an old fashioned guy, good for drawing faces in a realistic, old comic-book-y way. Covers lots of hard-to-draw angles of the face that others forget, too!

Eliot Goldfinger: this is really really technical almost medical anatomy-level complexness. But it breaks things down into muscle masses which are good to keep in mind if you have a difficult character to draw.

MY FAVOURITES:

Michael Hampton: THIS IS THE BEST. This one has everything, everything is colour coded, it’s fucking amazing in every way. This is like the be-all end-all of anatomy books, GET THIS.

Force, Life Drawing for animators: this one is amazing. This one teaches you how to DRAW the ENTIRE FIGURE, but not in little chunks- you need to know how to capture the flow of the body to make it not look like shit. This book teaches what separates the good artists from the MASTER artists. GET THIS. edit: this one is actually uploaded, now!! I’m so sorry!

Vilppu Drawing Manual: This is also a great book that combines some of these two big elements of drawing. Sort of retro but everything is really amazing, this is a big one.

Victor Perard: if you’re like me you revolve around line art, not painting. This book is awesome for us people. Lots of great poses to study and learn from, teaches you how to take masses and make line art of them. Very good.

so, Go forth! Share and reblog this post for others, if needbe, it is full of win. Or just the URL, that’s cool too. Thanks everybody who waited for me to upload it all!

“He’s always making the expression that he’s drawing… he’s making the expression even more than what he’s drawing. We didn’t set this up, he’s really doing this.”

—John Kahr, when talking about Glen Keane

Glen Keane is not the only one who does this, let me tell ya.
