Lego needs to do something about B&M as that store could legitimately torch their brand if this situation keeps getting worse.
Yeah, the situation with B&M is getting ridiculous to the point where it could legitimately endanger the Lego brand, Lego corporate needs to get involved at some point and ban B&M from doing business with them ever again before that happens.

#ScribesAndMakers June 9: “If you had a chance to ask an author or artist (living or deceased) one question, what would it be?”

In my case, it would be, say, Eric Carle and I'd ask..

Mind if I try making some painted-paper cutout art? Because that looks really fun, plus it's an adorable art style to boot.

We'd probably actually have a pretty good time creating together in that scenario.

I still can't get over the fact that pick-up owners fall hook, line, and sinker for obvious deceptive marketing.
That 'heavy duty' badge people are so proud of on their pick-ups? Yeah, that's total BS. Pick-ups are light-duty and medium-duty rigs being class-1 through 3 with GVWRs ranging up to 14k lbs. True heavy-duty rigs are class-7 and 8 with GVWRs ranging between 26,001 and 33,001+ lbs and those need a CDL to drive.
-
For further reference, as I said in a reply on this thread, the heaviest weight class you can get away with on a normal license in the US is class-6 with a GVWR between 19,501 and 26k lbs. Pick-ups as I said above are class-1through 3 with GVWRs ranging up to 14k lbs, while medium-duty chassis cabs are typically class-3 through 6 with GVWRs ranging between 14k and 26k lbs, and heavy-duty rigs are class-7 and 8 with GVWRs ranging between 26,001 and 33,001+ lbs, and those need a CDL like I said above.
-
But sticking a 'heavy duty' badge on a light-duty or medium-duty rig moves more inventory than automakers honestly advertising their pick-ups' true weight classes, I guess.

pickup truck owners really be like "i want the one that says SUPER DUTY in big letters across the back" - Lemmy.wtf

Man, this is fucked.

Just two months ago, we were all jumping for joy at Sora getting killed off, and now animators are doubling down on using AI in their stuff, one of whom, Jorge Gutierrez of The Book of Life fame, people are particularly pissed about. How the hell did we go from 'Yay, Sora's dead,' to this crap in two months?!

I'll never use AI in my own stuff, however, I mean for one, it's unethical to do so on multiple fronts, and two, I'm very much an analog artist to begin with as far as creating with real materials goes; digital of any sort just doesn't have the same sensory feedback as using real materials to create with.

'Playing with the Fireflies'

Pichu, Pikachu, and Dedenne are playing with the fireflies, with one each landing on Pikachu and Dedenne's noses.

This was sculpted in modeling clay and shot through an EOS Rebel T3i with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it.

'Pichu and Dedenne Go Mud Sliding' + 'Blowing Dandelions with Plusle and Minun'

This one's a dual-post, in which one drawing is of Pichu and Dedenne going mud sliding in a forest, and the other is of Plusle and Minun blowing dandelions in a field.

Both of these were drawn in oil pastel on cardboard and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it.

How about stamps with different curtains in 1950s design & style?
I guess windows wouldn't have to be stamped (but they could, with sun/moon/stars/trees/mountains/Eiffel tower outside). And maybe you manage to carve a design that can be used both ways, "upright" and 180° reversed?

I’ve been given the opportunity to work with a special needs kid one-on-one and I’m teaching him #BlackHistory through claywork. Last week we discussed the history behind Southern face jugs—who invented the form, what they signify and their probable roots in the Congo. This week, I brought him a jug so he could sculpt the face. This child who supposedly has attention & behavior problems focused on the project peacefully for two hours solid. #Clay is the way.

Man, these motherfuckers aren't even hiding it anymore.

Very bold of you to straight-up name a new censorship bill, 'SOPA,' and hope people forgot about a failed 2012 bill of the same name. Assholes.

Like, the original 2012 SOPA was the 'Stop Online Piracy Act,' this version just replaces 'piracy' with predators, but they literally just name a new censorship bill, 'SOPA,' thinking that won't bring back bad memories for people.

'Going to School' A Flemish Giant and white lop bunny are holding paws as they walk up to the town school. Greeting the kids as they get off the tram or walk up to the building are a small flower bed with various crafts the kids made over time and a purple walkway that has been signed by various kids and staff. The playground fence is pink with various artwork painted on it and the building itself is purple with dark blue doors. A brown lop bunny is just chilling at the entrance. This was drawn in oil pastel on watercolor paper and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.
'Drawing in a Field' A pair of white bunnies are chilling and drawing in a field. This was drawn in oil pastel on cardboard as part of a homemade sketchbook I put together the other night by binding a bunch of cardboard I had saved up together with some twine, and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Canon FD 35-70mm f4 zoom lens mounted to it.
'Recess Time' A brown bunny is chilling in the playground's art station doodling on a blackboard, while his classmates are off doing other things off-screen. Behind him is a tree and a dirt walkway adorned with stepping stones the kids made over time, which branches out into a dirt pit which had been played in earlier and a flower bed. This was drawn in oil pastel in a sketchbook and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'Checking Out the Pollinator Garden'

A brown lop bunny is checking out the town pollinator garden. To the left a white bunny is just vibin'.

There are stepping stones the community made placed in the dirt, and some bees flying around, and part of the fence for the town's outdoor art space is in the background.

'Playing in the Outdoor Art Space'

A group of bunnies are playing in the town art space. One of them is fingerpainting, another is throwing a pot on a portable pottery wheel, a third is making a construction paper collage, and a fourth is drawing on an easel.

The fence is painted with various artwork that the town made over time and is meant as a continuous project that the community can add to at any time, and to the right is a purple art supply shed which had its foundation pad purposefully made bigger than the building itself for the community to sign with pawprints surrounding it.

This was drawn in crayon in a sketchbook and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'Chilling by the Swings'

A white bunny is chilling by the swings at the parkette. Featured in this drawing are its art corner with artwork that kids drew on the strip of pavement in front of it that's meant as a drawing surface, and three blackboards that had been drawn on as well as some chalk scattered around it, as well as another hopscotch board, the flower bed with more flowers planted in it, and the swingset with a pair of bunnies playing on it.

This was drawn in chalk on the chipboard backing of a newly-depleted sketchbook and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'Fun at the Parkette'

A pair of bunnies are playing at a parkette in the town center. The amenities shown range from a hopscotch grid made from stepping stones that kids in the community made over time, a dirt pit which had previously been played in, a flower bed, and a slide. Off screen are a swingset, an arts and crafts corner, a water play area, and a spigot and hose that kids can use to either water their flowers or turn the dirt pit into a mud pit at their leisure.

There's also grass growing in around the stepping stones for the hopscotch grid.

This was drawn in oil pastel in a sketchbook and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'Hanging out Downtown' A group of bunnies are hanging out downtown as a tram rolls by. The yellow-green store in the middle is a record store because its storefront looks like an upside-down cassette tape, while the blue store to the right of it is an art supply store and the purple building to the left of it is something random. The street itself is paved with red bricks while the tram track is light blue. Do you want to go on a tram?

'It's Group Craft Time' The neurodivergent bunny class is making paper mache bowls for their group craft project. The brown lop, given I'm going to start depicting him as the playful one of the group who's starting to come out of his shell, is giggling after getting some of the paste on himself. This was painted in acrylics, watercolors, and watercolor crayons on heavy watercolor paper and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivtar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'One-on-one Art Time in the OT Room'

The Flemish Giant occupational therapist and neurodivergent brown lop bunny are doing a one-on-one art project while another neurodiovergent bunny is chilling on the platform swing in the background.

As both the OT character and brown lop are fingerpainting as part of their art project, they both have different paint colors smudged on them.

I also added a ballpit and a cars rug in the background as well.

'Walking Down the School Hallway'

A Flemish Giant occupational therapist is going down a sweet walk down the school hallway during class time with a neurodivergent brown lop bunny.

This is based on what I remember from my OT days in grade school where I would frequently do this very thing, sometimes even with myself piloting a Roller Racer.

I went with a Flemish Giant for the occupational therapist character because that species is perfect to base a caretaker character around due to its 'gentle giant' nature.

I don't really draw comics, perse, but I draw a lot of cute art. My fave characters to draw are bunnies or rodents because they're really fun characters to draw, and my fave drawing media currently are crayons, chalk, and oil pastels, with crayon and oil pastel art being featured in this post.

My art is more in line with kids' picture books than with comics or manga, basically.

'Parachute Day' A class of bunnies are playing with a parachute in their school playground for parachute day. A purple ball and a red wagon are dotted in the scene. This was drawn in crayons on watercolor paper, and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.
'Bunny Friends' Outdoor Fun' The Bunny Friends are all playing in their outdoor space. Two bunnies are playing hopscotch on their dirt path while one is just chilling in the playhouse, two are making mudpies in their mud play area under the tree, and one is pushing dirt around in their wheelbarrow. This was drawn in crayon in a sketchbook and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivtar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.
'Making our Marks' A pair of bunnies are writing in wet concrete on a section of street near their homes that had just been rehabbed. This one is particularly special to me because it calls back to an actual childhood experience I had where I got to write my name in wet concrete as a kid when a section of street near my childhood home had been rehabbed. This was drawn in crayons on watercolor paper and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivtar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.
'Playing in a Space All Their Own' A pair of white bunnies are playing in an outdoor space that their school made all for them and their friends. They're hopping on stepping stones put in a dirt path for them, and they also got a little playhouse with the entry way signed with pawprints by their friends, as well as a potted flower and a heart stepping stone in front of it, and they also got a toy wheelbarrow with some dirt in it they had been playing with earlier. This was drawn in oil pastels in a sketchbook and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.

'It's Slime Night under a Clear Sky'

A group of bunnies picked a random grassy area in their playspace to set up a tarp and make slime during a clear night. Two of them made a big bowl of orange slime to share between one another and are stretching it out, while the rest made green, purple, and blue slime for themselves respectively.

The different paint bottles and slime activator are off-screen because I ran out of room on the tarp to put them, but three glue jugs are strewn about with some of them having spilled out a bit onto the tarp as well.

The fireflies also came out for added cuteness.

This was drawn in oil pastel in a sketchbook and photographed through a Lumix GF2 with a Vivitar Series 1 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 FD-mount zoom lens mounted to it.
