you're not missing that much, the crossover is pretty average as a movie (the fact that I felt the need to doodle during it says a lot 🤣) but it made a nice introduction to the Cat's Eye cast! thanks for the reminder I need to check out the new anime, and for liking my art 😁

Poster for my Lupin III fanfic Subterranean Homesick Blues!

Lupin III has set his sights on a one-of-a-kind, mysterious gemstone. The prize is in the depths of a remote fallout shelter owned by a Las Vegas billionaire. Will this subterranean marvel be their grave? #lupiniii

tinyurl.com/mw86ph3y

Digital art of Lupin III wearing a yellow jacket, green tie, and white pants. He is holding up robotic tarantula hawk in one hand, with other in his pocket, grinning at the viewer. To his left is a snarling coyote. To his right, his right hand man Jigen Daisuke wearing a teal coat, cowboy hat, black pants, orange shirt, and black bolo tie. He is smoking and fanning his hand over his revolver. To his left is Goemon Ishikawa XIII, dressed in green and grey and holding up zantetsuken with a determined expression. Above him is Koichi Zenigata, wearing a midnight blue coat and hat, looking back over his shoulder down at Lupin. Beside him is Fujiko dressed as the iconic Glitter Gulch girl, a sexy cowgirl outfit in red, white and blue. There is a UFO floating beside her. The background is a silhoeutte of the Las Vegas skyline at sunset. They are all surrounded by blooming prickly pear cacti, green with pink/red blooms and purple with yellow blooms.

Its almost like when a country invests in the interests of its people, allowing them or pursue their own happiness and create art, society as a whole thrives.

I mean we have museums filled with art from throughout human history for reasons; Human's LOVE art.

We NEED art.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Here are my personal contributions to the museum.
1. “The Left Hand Path”, a piece about the intersection of spirituality and queerness.
2. “All Surf, No TERFs” version of my Retrowave Coyote.

#transart

Painting of an Anthro Coyote in a sensual, powerful pose. He has fresh bleeding top surgery scars and marigolds covering his nipples. There is a gold snake wrapped around his midsection. Above his head is a floating, grinning skull and a flaming gold sun. Behind him are various gold crosses, bottles of alcohol and testosterone, as well as prickly pears and agave.

Painting of a blue, pink, and white Coyote wearing sunglasses, eating pizza, riding a red and yellow surfboard that says “the future is queer! Only trans joy!”. Behind them it says “ALL SURF, NO TERFS” with a large retro sunset.

The previously described paintings hanging on a fence

Gone Glitchin’ #reddwarf #arnoldrimmer #davelister #thecat #holly #queeg

Digital colour drawing of Rimmer, Lister, Cat and Holly from Red Dwarf. Rimmer is in the middle looking worriedly down at himself. His outline is fuzzy and his upper torso is separating from his legs. Cat and Lister are either side of him looking at his separated lower half. Cat looks grossed out, Lister simply looks amused. Holly is on a mobile television screen in front of Lister, completely unbothered. Up on the wall behind them all, big red lettering reads EMERGENCY.

Decided to slap some colour on an old sketch of these two #reddwarf #arnoldrimmer #davelister

Digital colour drawing of Arnold Rimmer and Dave Lister from Red Dwarf. Rimmer has a blue rectangle background and Lister has a red rectangle background. Rimmer is holding a clipboard ready to report Lister. Lister is wearing a black cap and has a cigarette poking out on one ear. He is holding a small foil tray and eating a snack. They are both glaring at each other with lightning sparking between them.

happy birthday to the anime boys ever ❤💙💚💜💛💖 #osomatsusan #おそ松さん

A digital painting of the Matsuno sextuplets - six identical Japanese men with average builds, rounded facial features and black hair in bowl cuts, wearing matching hoodies with a pine tree symbol on them - from Osomatsu-san, celebrating their birthday in front of their house. From left to right: Ichimatsu lies flat on his back with his eyes closed and his hands clasped; Karamatsu kneels on the pavement besides his brothers and grins as he sloshes a drink cup around; Osomatsu sits beside Karamatsu and smiles at the viewer with a slightly melancholy look on his face, one arm around Karamatsu and the other around Choromatsu, who grins as he clinks his cup against Karamatsu's; Todomatsu smiles awkwardly as he almost drops a plate of takoyaki while twisting out of the way to avoid Jyushimatsu, who is in mid-pounce above the other five, smiling the widest out of all the brothers. Red, blue, green, purple, yellow and pink confetti covers the pavement around them.

A digital drawing of the Matsuno sextuplets running atop a six-striped rainbow on a white background filled with multicoloured confetti. From left to right: Todomatsu wears his blue suit from season 1, Jyushimatsu wears his yellow and white hoodie from season 2, Ichimatsu wears his school uniform from "Osomatsu-san: The Movie", Choromatsu wears his green and cream jacket from season 3, Karamatsu wears his black jacket and loose blue trousers from "The Hipipo Tribe and the Glitening Fruit" and Osomatsu wears his red hoodie from season 1 up until "The Soul Takoyaki Party and the Legendary Sleepover". Each sextuplet is running atop a stripe of the rainbow in his respective colour, with the release years of the seasons and movies they represent written on the stripes (2015-16, 2017-18, 2019, 2020-21, 2022 and 2023). Just to the right of Osomatsu's red stripe is the text: To be continued...?

A watercolour painting of both the adult and ten-year-old versions of the Matsuno brothers (along with ESP Kitty on ten-year-old Ichimatsu's shoulder) together in a group, smiling as they look down at a pastel multicoloured three-tiered cake decorated with images of Iyami, Dayon, Hatabou, Chibita, Dekapan, Matsuzou, Matsuyo and Totoko from Osomatsu-kun, and topped with large red candles in the shape of the number 60. The adult versions of the brothers are outlined in dark blue while their ten-year-old selves and ESP Kitty are outlined in black, and all twelve are shaded in their respective colours (red, blue, green, purple, yellow and pink).

A digital drawing of the Matsuno sextuplets sitting on top of a giant multicoloured birthday cake on a dark blue background as a spotlight and confetti pour over them. Each of them uses a different design representing various Osomatsu-san and -kun media: clockwise from the top, Todomatsu is in his live-action form from season 2 episode 1, Jyushimatsu is in his yellow and white hoodie from season 2, Choromatsu is in his school uniform and glasses from Osomatsu-san: The Movie, Osomatsu is in the black-and-white style of the Osomatsu-kun manga, Karamatsu is in the rounded style of the 1988 Osomatsu-kun anime and Ichimatsu is in his purple hoodie from Osomatsu-san season 1.

I don't know what the future holds for the series, but I do know I'm grateful for the time I spent, the artistic skills I developed, and the friends I made in the decade this strange, imperfect, beautiful series has existed - and that I'll still treasure them in another 10 years. お粗末さまでした!

A digital drawing done in October 2020 to commemorate the 5th anniversary of Osomatsu-san. The adult Osomatsu Matsuno, in his white-sleeved red jacket from season 3, stands with one hand on his 10-year-old, black-and-white Osomatsu-kun self's shoulder and the other on an old-fashioned television. In the background, F6 Osomatsu, "proper" Osomatsu and 18-year-old Osomatsu stand with their backs turned slightly away from the viewer.

An ink wash painting done in October 2019 to commemorate Osomatsu-san's 4th anniversary. The Matsuno sextuplets, with their usual cartoony designs but wearing their F6 idol outfits, stand in the middle of a row of red, blue, green, purple, yellow and pink beams of light, each raising four fingers up high.

An ink wash painting done in October 2021 to commemorate Osomatsu-san's 6th anniversary. Osomatsu's head explodes into red, blue, green, purple, yellow and pink stripes, each showing a diffrent Matsuno sextuplet striking a pose from an opening of the anime: Karamatsu running in the second opening, Choromatsu parachuting in the third opening, Ichimatsu sitting and holding a giant cherry in the fourth opening, Jyushimatsu running naked in the fifth opening and Todomatsu peeking out from behind a stage curtain in the sixth opening.

An ink drawing done in October 2021 to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Osomatsu-san season 2 (the artist's favourite season). Osomatsu is kneeling in front of a cardboard box of toys, wearing an oversized turquoise jacket on top of a red sweatshirt as he plays with figures of the "Chanto Shita" giant robot, 3D Jyushimatsu, live-action Todomatsu, the 30000 yen Choromatsu plushie and 100000 Ichimatsu dolls from season 2 episode 1.

I don't think any series has had a bigger impact on me artistically than Osomatsu-san. this show that fully embraces animation as a medium introduced me to characters I fell in love with enough to help me truly spread my wings artistically. thank you for 10 years ❤️💙💚💜💛💖 #osomatsusan #おそ松さん10周年ありがとう

A digital painting done to commemorate the Osomatsu-san season 2 finale in March 2018. The Matsuno sextuplets stand in front of a row of flowering trees, holding cherry blossoms loosely in their hands as if to let the breeze blow them away, with their faces displaying mixed emotions but all smiling.

An ink wash painting done during the lead-up to the first Osomatsu-san movie's subtitled release in October 2019. Osomatsu crouches in front of a box of Choromatsu's idol memorabilia - his back to the viewer to leave his expression unreadable - in a room tinted red by the sunset with cherry blossoms falling outside the window, referencing episodes 24 of both seasons 1 and 2.

A digital painting done to commemorate the Osomatsu-san season 3 finale in March 2021. The Matsuno sextuplets and the Riceball robots gather under a cherry blossom tree scattering its petals, all of them looking upwards with hopeful smiles.
