Found these Murals at a local skatepark in Whitley Bay, with Loish’s pretty ladies up on them, though I feel they are likely copied/inspired/in homage to her, really nice little surprise!
pretty aaaawesome!

Ligne Claire: Inspiration vs. Imitation »
I read this last night it is such a good review for anyone who is trying to become a real artist! (like myself!!!)
this pretty much encapsulates my views on the matter! might be helpful to those who are worried about inspiration in either their own or other people’s work.
and of course, personality imitation, stalking and never-ending denial about your direly one-sided ‘inspiration’ are NEVER okay but fall into a totally different category of creepy impersonation that would require a totally different kind of article to understand. i think most of you know who/what i mean. this article is not about that, just about people who are searching for a healthy attitude towards being inspired!

'Dilbert' Creator Scott Adams Compares Women Asking for Equal Pay to Children Demanding Candy »
“The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently. It’s just easier this way for everyone. You don’t argue with a four-year old about why he shouldn’t eat candy for dinner. You don’t punch a mentally handicapped guy even if he punches you first. And you don’t argue when a women tells you she’s only making 80 cents to your dollar. It’s the path of least resistance. You save your energy for more important battles.” -Scott Adams
I love how he almost comes out and says exactly what he actually means, which is, “Women are treated like children and disabled persons because they are incapable of doing things men can”. That’s patently false, and that’s why we’re all pissed that women are getting paid less to do the exact. Same. Things.
What an asshole. Dilbert was mediocre at best, you jackass!
is this for real? seriously, was this guy kidding or did he actually mean what he wrote? sometimes i forget that people like this actually exist… i’d say boycott dilbert, but i don’t know anyone who reads that crap to begin with.

beautiful and mystifying, not to mention my favorite color combinations in many of the pieces.
wowwwwwww
Sooooo yeah, I’ve basically spent the past week just looking at Aurelien Predal’s beautiful color keys for this movie.
very inspiring indeed.
by the way, vacation in corisca was AWESOME. go there if you ever get the chance!!
a day in my life as of the past and coming two weeks:
- wake up absurdly early
- jog (training for a 5K!)
- go to my office, fuel myself with lots of strong coffee
- draw until hand can draw no more (literally)
- go home, collapse
i hate it when i have all the motivation in the world to work, but my hand just can’t continue. i sometimes worry that i could be developing carpal tunnel, but i think it’s just a good old fashioned cramp from holding a tablet pen with a death grip all day. curse the hard, burdensome life of a digital painter! agh!!
