I love this anecdote from Mark Evanier.
#comics
So I was standing there, not having a cocktail — which is what I do at cocktail parties — and a man I'd never seen before in my life approached me. He asked if I was Mark Evanier and when I owned up to it, he said, "I understand you're a Vince Colletta exorcist." I begged his pardon and ask him what in the world he meant. He said, "I understand you were responsible for getting Vince Colletta moved off inking Jack Kirby's pencils at DC." For a moment, I thought this might be some relative of Colletta's preparing to sock me in the gut or something but I said, "I guess so." Whereupon the man extended his right hand in friendship and said, "I'm Frank Robbins. How is it done?"

A cover I did for a small publisher, for an anthology called Ocular Combustion. It was colored over my pencils. I drew a short in it, too- the second part of a story featuring the orange guy.

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home.
#regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart
Poster to fight against ai. Visualized is a cave painting inspired horse, with text that reads "art has always been accessible"

Cover by C.C. Beck.
Whiz Comics #144 (1952). The cover shows four images of natural disasters occurring (a fire, a flood, volcanoes, and an earthquake). Cap stands in the middle looking flustered and shouting “Holy Moley! What next?”

In addition to lending us his talents on-screen, Trace Beaulieu will be art director for MST3K: The RiffTrax Experiments!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/rif...
Trace working with Beez, Jeff Stonehouse, Mike, Kevin and Bill during the production of our Kickstarter video "There were many Brains that brainstormed together the utterly other-ly thing that became Mystery Science Theater, but I’ve always felt that Trace Beaulieu was the Crazy Heart of it. The dog-bone SOL, the geodesic Bridge, the hot-glue and drywall screw technology that held it together, the Why-Not-Do-This philosophy made Doable, the irresistible madness of his Mad — and to top it all off, his laugh. A laugh used sparingly, a laugh that tells everybody in the room, 'Oh yeah, that’s damn funny.' "So to have Trace back at the heart of the look of these new episodes delights me beyond measure. I’ve only seen a few scant sketches of what he has in mind, and Holy Cats. I can’t wait to see what he dreams up." - Kevin Murphy Trace's headshot

Mason @realMasonMohon : 1h You have a pride flag in your bio. You obviously think marriage is a term with no actual content that can be applied to anything. No wonder we say you don’t understand marriage Ephraim Stone @TEStoneWrites - ih The rainbow in my bio is a reminder that G-D will never again bring destruction to creation, that His covenants are eternal, that his word is unfailing, and that His gifts to my foremothers and forefathers are everlasting. Mason @realMasonMohon - 23m Apologies for misunderstanding. As I’m sure you know, many others use it to represent something else Ephraim Stone @TEStoneWrites I also suck dick
