As i've said before, the renaissance was just 15th century OnlyFans.

Artists discovering rich dudes will pay big bucks for pictures of their favourite Greek god, goddess or bible figure with their bits out.
"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Due South reboot. Drawn by Dave McKean.

Ray travels to Canada to help a young Mountie (and an elderly deaf wolf) solve the murder of her father, his best friend.

In doing so, Ray finds himself trying to convince her of the one thing his old partner cared about more than anything:

Kindness matters
Okay, you get to write ONE dream comic mini-series, featuring characters you did not create.

What character would you pick, and who would draw it?

The Netherlands is investing in better intercity cycling routes, but progress is never uniform. The F58 from Breda to Tilburg shows both the ambition and the unfinished links. I rode the entire 23.5 km and traced the remaining works — new post with details and video.
How complete is the F58? Assessing the Breda–Tilburg Intercity Route
Recently Breda announced, via a short video on Facebook, that the F58 continuous-cycle route to Tilburg had been completed. The video’s title — “Did you know the continuous cycle route from Breda to Tilburg has been finished?” — prompted quite a reaction. “Don’t make me laugh,” wrote one viewer. He also pointed out a stretch of brick pavers in Dorst, to which someone else replied: “They were either out of money or out of asphalt!” Even so, …
