Rest in Peace to the great Drew Struzan, a man whose work sparked the imaginations of a whole generation of movie nerds. The master is gone.

I had the privilege of visiting him in his studio once and getting to talk shop. Here’s his words on one of his masterpieces:

Two weeks ago we lost a giant of the movie posters world, Renato Casaro. Today we lost a modern Master of movie posters: DREW STRUZAN. I can guarantee you have at least seen 5 of his posters in your lifetime. The man has put his art on some of the most popular movie franchises (Indiana Jones, 1/4

Gravity loop did miracle work printing my pyrography comic. It is magical holding a copy of it and seeing the wood texture and burn imprints play across the paper, like nothing I've experienced, buy one now, and you can experience it too

tatsumi's backgrounds are so crazy well realized and stimulating. i always have mixed feelings on hatching-heavy cartoonists who don't use screentones but he has the immortal secret of making hatching look good

Dr Artyom Trakhanov - THERE COMES FOR YOU A DAY is out now! @vor-bokor.bsky.social · 11d

“I Hate My Life, I Hate My Friends, I Hate Myself”. This is the sales pitch for 99% of AI, and it all comes from the people who genuinely hate and despise this reality where no one thinks they’re “cool” for being on computer all day, so now the computer must show everyone how they can do a kickflip

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via Al video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people."
