It's always tough to figure out what phase of illustration we're in, but I think we've moved on from the 80s vibe / airbush gradient era into the cute / naive era.
Or maybe its just a rejection of polish era, which is really good for me.

they should be sending me one every year :P
The couch in question. I wonder if they'll sell off all this cool furniture in April? Heavy emphasis on "slightly used"
imagining a ski jump / skeet shoot combo
Walked by a Turbotax pop-up in Soho. Ig they do your taxes there or something but were also selling merch like tshirts with the Turbotax logo. The store was completely empty and all of the employees were sitting on a couch together. That storefront probably costs at least $50k a month to rent.
Am I the only one who whispers βThatβll do pigβ to myself when I approve of something
I love how weird and foreboding this cover is
I know! Illustrators only have The Mist.
I asked my attorney friend once what her favorite lawyer movie was and she said she didn't have one which really baffled me
Imagining an animation director getting that email when theyβre halfway through a 10 ep show where every ep costs $900k and half the production is done by another studio overseas.
Telling some of the biggest production companies on the planet they need to change the file format of everything theyβve ever made using an industry standard for the last 25 years because itβs going to be obsolete in a month, I wonder why that didnβt go over so well?
Shirow perfectly predicted 30 years ago we would all be annoyed with ppl who brought their electric scooters on the subway
Is it possible to make a digital 1099 email not look like a phishing scam
Iβm conservative in that I believe posting a clip from a tv or movie on insta should only be done when recording it off your own tv from the couch with horrible lighting

The freezing weather is just accelerating my final evolution
Paywalling a new 4x play speed on youtube just makes me want it more. I don't want to hear words or see images, I want to swim in a constant flood of colors and sounds.
Extreme weather is coming to NYC so my parents are going to be calling all weekend so they can live vicariously through me.

Let's dive into what Kiln is. It's a pottery power-fantasy that celebrates both Creativity and Destruction: the pleasure that comes from both making beautiful things, and then smashing those beautiful things to smithereens!

I need a group of illustrators willing to go in on an airbnb on the Mediterranean next winter
They make batteries taste bad now so kids won't eat them?
I wish you could do figure drawing at the gym. Amazing mix of outfits and gesture poses.
Wishing substacks and patreons would do the magazine holiday pricing model where they offer a heavily discounted subscription and include a tote bag
I guess 2 days was the best we could expect for a normal 2026
My only travel advice is get the biscoff if you fly Delta
keep all those treats for yourself
Happy Birthday!
My uncle is an architect and when I asked why we donβt make new ones he said βwe donβt know howβ
when I see all the handball courts in brooklyn I think this is what it must be like living Athens or Rome, surrounded by monuments of a lost culture
