Jane Alexander, Butcher Boys
That happens to be a line from one of my favourite albums, a combination CD/graphic novel from an obscure now-defunct South African hip hop group.
I think it’s pretty easy to understand how a South African group would come to that conclusion. When I ...

"Every revolution is sparked by an art movement"
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Nov. 27, 2015New experiences!
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Nov. 20, 2015
Yesterday evening my friend and I donned our prettiest dresses and went to see The Marriage of Figaro. Neither of us had ever been to the opera before, and we weren't the only ones - it was “student night” where they sell cheap tickets to the final dress rehearsal, so ...

HippieVan at 12:00AM, Nov. 13, 2015
The absolutely incredible gift art I got from fallopiancrusader last year!
We had our first tiny snowfall today (surprisingly late for us), which means that I am officially allowed to start preparing for Christmas! And it wouldn't be Christmas without DRUNK DUCK SECRET SANTA!
I'm doing Secret Santa ...
Confidence in Art

Art by Gunwallace

Character outfits
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Oct. 23, 2015
Since comic characters usually aren't too concerned with Halloween costumes, let's talk about how you dress your characters normally!

Inking: Literally the worst?
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Oct. 9, 2015
This is building a bit on ozoneocean's previous newspost on developing a sketch! For most comic artists, after having perfected a sketch (or at least getting it to an acceptable point) the next step is inking. I don't think I'm alone in saying this is one of ...
