Like look at these compositions, so much being told in body language - you know these were probably real people, or sketches of several encounters. It reminds me of social realism photography of the 20th century onwards, snapshots of high rise living rooms etc. Time moves slowly on the human scale

Frank Holl is an almost forgotten master who needs to be remembered; his Dickensian portrayal of the Victorian poor is so moving. He died young at like 43 before his prime. His daughter's recollection of his life paints a picture of an artist troubled by his anxiety (contributing to his early death)

Sometimes you just gotta sit cross-legged on the floor with a sketchbook and multiple reference books to get a composition right. Sometimes you gotta look at 200yo photos of British streets to get a cool twist on what Neo Tokyo could look like, which won't make sense until results are seen

I love how Steve Ditko uses atomic symbols to represent the Sun's interior here. This wouldn't work for a more reality-based artist, but the symbols mesh perfectly with Ditko's use of simple shapes and patterns to indicate magical spells. Fantastic stuff!

I've been organising all my old sketchbooks as I move everything up home and it's amazing to look back on so many years. At some point the fear of loosening up just leaves you and your art just goes up a level. It's why I love seeing other artists sketchbooks and see what they're about

Ongoing music hot takes - Hot Dog by Limp Bizkit has an amazing guitar riff that I want as an instrumental to strut to as I walk. Especially as I've been told I have a strut.

Musical hot take but The Kids Aren't Alright is one of the Offspring's more boringest songs? Especially compared to their self titled album and stuff on Smash and Splinter that no Spotify playlist ever has

Omg I love that game! Do you remember when stick figure flash games were big? Why was there never a remake with more 3D elements?

Didn't mention this before but I don't think in today's world this can happen again, and creators shouldn't work with people who make them uncomfortable. I just like Jungian shadow shit

Clark Bint 🦊 @clarkbintart.bsky.social · 5d

I've always been of the opinion that the political differences between Ditko and Lee is what has made early Spidey so nuanced - imagine the writers room discussions. Lightning in a bottle. Two differently working minds that created a teenager reluctantly growing up (maybe before he was ready)

"Frightening" Dan McDaid @danmcdaid.bsky.social · 6d

It's true, Ditko's Peter Parker is a bitter, sneaky little nerd, who would otherwise have been a lock to become a serial killer... If his confident, compassionate alter ego hadn't saved him.

It mostly likely wasn't that simple but I love the early comics where Peter hears Flash Gordon has been kidnapped, is like "GOOD!", then like, "what am I saying?" It's the powers-wrestler-fuckup-hero journey echoing through his life forever

The first 40 issues of Amazing Spider-Man read like an extended villain origin story. It felt like Pete could break bad at several points.

They should just leave the talk bubbles blank and let people create their own stories.

Making comics is a deeply personal art form and it's fine to make entire graphic novels you never intend to publish.

Also Robert Crumb and Mobius are forever the goats of comics. Their work is weird, visceral and honest on a level few will ever be ready for.

Comics should have animated bits in the white spaces so we know how one panel gets to another. Shocking that they're basically still just still-frames and no sound?

Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?
