a screenshot of Trail Mix. A blue cave with mushrooms and pickaxes. Two piles of white pilsbury dough boy lookin mfs stand in the center (these are the playable characters, its a co-op puzzle platformer) screenshot of Decomposing Corpse Of Ganondorf. a blurry mess of cityscape and stone ganondorf statue. Its a plundercore game about being a swarm of flies consuming eternally. screenshot of Cocooning For The Winter. a colorful pixelly naturescape with a flower, a caterpillar, and a mushroom. In this game you eat through the terrain and metamorphose into a different bug depending on what you eat. Screenshot of Future Cat Sailor's Title Screen. A byronic kitty-man stands on the prow of his boat, overlooking the ruins of delphino plaza as rain plummets around him. It's a plundercore game about collecting coins from a decaying and undesigned landscape, and escaping before The Jellyfish awakens.

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 now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

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 @evanhill

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.

Greta Thunberg has been detained in an Israeli cell infested with bedbugs and supplied with insufficient food and water, according to activists:

“They dragged little Greta by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag.”

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

"Jones, 27, is among the residents left at 7500 S. South Shore Drive who are trying to piece together what remains after an early morning, high-powered federal immigration raid led to the arrests of dozens of their neighbors at their South Shore apartment building."

"History a precession of skeletonized fish"

not sure *exactly* what that means but it was the theme for these couple pieces.

acrylic marker, gel pen, watercolor, pencil crayon
a skeleton fish zooms thru a building globe in the bg, psychedelic colors, smiling x face shadows of building "History A Precession of Skeletonized Fish"
a literal precession of said fish on the top page, with civilizations as their tails. below is a fish orbited globe, about to be eaten by a larger fish. smaller skelefish spirals are around as well.

A combination of train views and Xian skies. In Xian (and any other major city ofc) theres too much light pollution to see stars, but every night people fly kites with rainbow LEDs on them, creating their own constellations. I had a hard time capturing it in photos or paint but it was so cool
ocean, powerline, mountain, kites, sky. watercolor and pencil crayon

Inside the old city walls of Xian. Theres a solid block of touristy bars and restaurants all lit up vibrantly. But right around the corner it's residential and there aren't even streetlights, just the dark wall on one side and silhouetted roofs n trees on the other. this one is direct from a photo.

Some more imaginary china views, inspired loosely by shanghai and the views from our 10 hours of train ride landscape between shanghai, beijing, and xian

watercolor, marker, pen, pencil crayon. I particularly like the mix of orthographic and perspective in the last, gonna explore that more sometime
gray green dome building in a park, yellow city in the distance canal fishers, a small temple and apartment building along the shores, among other buildings and small creatures. the sky extends above full of stars and mysterious extensions of the forms below orthographically rendered park in shanghai, with an isometric building with smiling roof, smoking denizen. more perspective in the background.
