Noooo Derwent Artist pencils and Tombow dual tip markers aren't lightfast?! Guess I'm throwing out most of my art materials 🫠

I have NOT seen Frankenstein yet, but I wanted to join everyone in posting about it, so here's a very old drawing.

A (maybe?) new to me artist; Ernest Biéler. The shapes and patterns are so pleasing.

I feel so much better abt my sketchbook now because it's literally exactly like this lol
If you ever feel like your sketchbook as an artist is not looking pretty or artistic enough: take a look at Gustav Klimt‘s sketchbook

Nothing fills me with a sense of dread quite like the work of artist Chris Van Allsburg. When I was very young, his illustrations terrified me just as much as the ones in Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, but in a way I didn't even have words to describe yet. He was liminal before liminal was cool

Let me post some art since I haven't done that in a while. 🫠 It's spooky season so how about an illustration of some cranky old lady ghosts?

A seagull stole a sandwich out of my hands once. So my money is absolutely on the seagull here.

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

"The programme will launch in autumn 2026 with Our Strange Duet by Erin A Craig, a YA reimagining of the story that will bring a new voice to Christine Daaé, a central part of the iconic Phantom canon".

PLEASE who do I beg at Penguin to let me illustrate this????? 😭

Posting this old bookbinding project to remind myself to get back into bookbinding! I wish there were more opportunities for weird/unique things like this in illustration; maybe for a super-special-very-limited edition book? ✨
