what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Today's inking challenge is of the pokemon Lopunny and Hitmonchan duking it out. One is clearly the senior of the two, allowing ice punch versus themself and only using fire punch versus their opponent.

and here's a still version of today's pokemon inking challenge, the alcohol-ink colored version of squirtle from higher up the thread (in case you want to save data vs. watch a process video :P)

Today's inking challenge piece is Golduck eating a big veggie and cheese sandwich at the edge of a manhole. I don't know what work he's been doing but I imagine he's earned this.

Today's challenge piece is Exeggutor hanging out with an ekans, a reference to two of my beloved pokemon from my 'train anything you catch , overlevel, and catch nothing extra' run of pkmn red from back in the early 2000s.

Next up is gengar! I had a stressball/foam toy of him growing up and he was so soft!!! I think any design that's over 25% face is going to be very potent with charm.

Today's pokemon inking challenge is Squirtle. Do you think water pokemon can use their aptitude with liquid to cheat at the classic water game?

Just now got this scanned! Gong for local auction tonight downtown Augusta (check the artzilla instagram or fb for more details)
"Tower of Icari"

Painting of a tower of trans and gender non-conforming people holding each other up out of the water, up towards the sun. Each one wears a pair of melting wax wings. Two more people are gliding towards the tower on the horizon. The Woman who has just landed at the top pleads and tries to pull up the closest woman holding her up.

Next up in my inking challenge is a simple Togetic! I always liked art of togetic because they seemed very 'toddler stuffed animal' designed.

Doing an october inking challenge w/ little pokemon, meant to work as either stickers or temporary tattoos! There will be 16 designs, where I'll do the outlines first, then the colors mainly in alcohol markers (also ink! but maybe hue-shifted a lil w/ colored pencils); so 31 total w/ b&w & color!

on today's episode of "Claire's beloved friend got fired from his church job for posting about Gaza and racial justice," he just posted on Insta about how the (white) pastor said to him straight out "if I'd known I was hiring an activist, I wouldn't have hired you"

The illustration heavily references the last panel, and space-suit color scheme, of EC Comics' 'Judgement Day' as illustrated by Joe Orlando (this source may be sited by Mr. Bailey on a website of his somewhere but its a common enough name that I can't find his portfolio by googling...)
