Apropos of nothing

I went to one of those drink-and-paint-along parties that were so popular several years ago. They set up each little station with individual supplies - brushes, pencil/eraser, paper plates for palettes, and canvas, of course. I knew what the final product should look like, so I set to my canvas with the pencil provided, just to block some basic shapes/areas. When she saw my work, our 'instructor' scolded me. She said "Real artists don't sketch". I almost left on the spot but my wife was so jazzed about doing the thing that I stayed and tried to have a good time anyway. My question is this: When painting (say acrylic for the sake of argument), do you sketch with pencil first? Or something else? Or not at all?

CHICKENS ARE FLUORESCENT!!

Look. I’m unnaturally excited about this. I learned that owls fluoresce so I had to know: Do chickens? Google wasn’t helpful. But I have all the things I need for this experiment.

Please please please if you get photos or video of your chickens under a black light tag me or this post! I WANNA SEE!!!

okay im going through the rules and stuff on matsodon rn and

sexworkers are good here as long as what they post is tagged. the gore thing is :// but like the person said sexworkers are supported here.

all of this. all of this is hot as hell. 

they actually have specific rules disallowing pedophiles and nazis+the terfs from the last screenshot.

dogpiling and harrassment and stalking is listed as a no go thank fucking god??

there is not one specific staff account as each member of staff has their own thing so it’d be most likely easier to get in touch with them

and the best part

a peek at the list of blocked domains?

Happy Hanukkah, everyone, from these two jerks! I’m posting this a little early this year. Line art by the amazing Ro Stein & Ted Brandt, and colour art by @deecunniffe. 

I want to point out what a technical achievement this story is on the art side. There’s a real joy to creating a whole story in eight panels, but this? This is some magic. We introduce four new characters. In panel 5, SIX PEOPLE are talking. SIX. In the world of comics, that’s almost un-doable. 

Yet Ro and Ted arranged everything so the conversations flow and are sensibly grouped, all the “acting” is fantastic, and then Dee laid on top these beautiful, almost fairytale colours – look at the subtle work, the blush in Henry’s cheeks, Frank’s five o-clock shadow, the shine of the wine bottle’s glass surface, the light texturing in the backgrounds… and of course the snow! This is some first-class illustration work on an incredibly hard script. (I fear Ro and Ted always get me at my worst – my very formalist script for them in the 24 Panels anthology was no cakewalk either. (The problem is, they’re just so damn good at it… check out their work on the Image comic Crowded!)

As always, if you like what we do in Hells Kitchen Movie Club, consider donating a little to a veteran’s charity. 

(I also have a thriller novel I’m crowdfunding, please check it out, we are more than halfway there. The book is all written…)

I have identified the song that perfectly matches the energy of the Venom movie and it is the vocals of “Head Like a Hole” backed by the Lisa-Frank-in-sound-form bubbly pop instrumentation of “Call Me Maybe.”

All of Hozier’s songs are about how he’s a revenant fueled only by the power of a woman. Meanwhile all of Florence’s songs are about being a powerful witch. What I’m saying is, I’m pretty sure Florence Welch summoned Hozier from a peat bog. In this essay I will

One of my favorite things about Howl’s Moving Castle is how frankly and fluidly magic is portrayed. Magic suits its user, and because of this we hardly recognize it as magic because it matches the character.

This is all just to say, I really love that Howl’s magic is intellectual and Sophie’s is instinctive and intuitive.

Howl’s magic: so if we postulate that the allegorical addition of the circular wand motion at the 47th degree of the midnight chime from which the fire and brimstone qualities of the malachite substance-
