Look at these goofballs! From the same Flickr owner of the bathing suit set I blogged earlier, there are lots of photos to go through. And who doesn’t like old-time fun? Check out more!
THE NEW DARK ARTS TEACHER.
A “Persons of Interest” drawing. You can get your own here. Short version is I’ll draw any famous/widely recognizable figure, fictional or historical or just popular, just once. So for instance, I won’t draw Severus Snape again. Especially not since I NAILED this one.
What a great Snape! Dustin’s art gets better and better at an astonishing pace. He’s a dedicated man we can all learn from.
La Commune (Paris, 1871) Another Peter Watkins for you. I had to turn the english captions on, FYI. From Rotten Tomatoes:
Noted filmmaker and media critic Peter Watkins directs this mammoth six-hour-long look at the legendary Paris Commune of 1871. Following the humiliating defeat of France in the Franco-Prussian War, the reign of Napoleon III collapsed in the resulting public foment. While a new regime headed under the Government of National Defense tried to shore up power, a band of commoners took the reigns of power for themselves and created the Paris Commune, a government defiantly separate from the state operating under a sort of proto-Marxist ethos. Inevitably, the Commune was brutally suppressed by French troops. Watkins’ treatment of the event juxtaposes the present with the past – modern day CNN-style reporting with historical fact.

Beach time! Click through for old timey summer.
A+ use of props. Sit in the bucket!
I put this up when I started this tumblr, but that video was taken down. Peter Watkins’ 1964 documentary Culloden is fantastic, with the “on site” interviews/quotes, explanations of who people were, why they were there, and what the battle meant to them. It was a groundbreaking production, read more about it here.
A friend drew me a mermaid, so I drew one back.
Revisiting a beautiful girl I saw on a bus stop a few years ago. I’ll be making artwork to celebrate the beauty of black youth - Blackness isn’t dangerous or ugly, and this is how I experience and see blackness today

Quinn Keast has made a delightful and innovative use of my comic, give it a try!
I watched this program recently - The Machine Gun and Skye’s Band of Brothers, part of the WWI programming BBC has on the go this year. Many people from my area can trace themselves back to Skye, and it was quite affecting to hear names on this show that are fully the same as names of my neighbours, in a different time and place. An historian named Beaton even makes an appearance. What do you know, eh?
