When I was workshopping a drawing class at @Princeton—one of the topics that came up was the future of AI art engines. I’ve only seen weird outputs—warped images that looked painfully tortured, like paintings of my worst nightmares. Faceless figures and mashed up features-interesting but thought the technology still needed a ways to go. During the conversation, we decided to have fun and compare my cover for ONE BAD DAY: MR FREEZE to the output from an AI engine using Jim Lee Mr. Freeze Big Headshot…

We lost another of the absolute greats this weekend with the passing of the legendary artist, writer and creator George Pérez. His career is truly a testament to what one can achieve in life when singularly focused on what one loves to do.

And George loved comics. (1/8) Everything about it.

Every detail.

Every energy crackle.

Every brick in the wall.

Every character, both iconic and obscure.

Every nuance to every complicated costume ever.

Every creative partnership with his favorite collaborators.
(2/8)

Part of the fun of watching the fans’ reaction to @SuicideSquadWB has been seeing all the art inspired by the film! (out NOW in theaters and on @HBOmax!) In that spirit—I sketched up this image of some of my favorites from this film’s cast…1/7 (and mind you, it was tough choosing as I just *love* the entire ensemble—simply brilliant casting).
But who would have ever dreamt to see Starro, TDK, and #kingshark much less the #PolkaDotMan ever in an epic, tent pole, big budget #dccomics film!?!? 2/7
