Never let it be said that tools don’t matter. They really do. I use The Line: It Is Drawn as sort of an experimental leap pad for new techniques and general practice, and I have to say, no brush in my collection besides the Windsor Newton Kolinsky Sable Series 7 #4 could have done the hatching in this piece half as well as it turned out.

A little on the topic: it started out as illustrating a comics character with a song lyric, in this case, from the Sex Pistols. I thought it was a brilliant match, and decided to add a few more elements to the mix: namely, a political angle and a playing card theme. They seemed to fit together on paper, so I went with it. Incidentally, given that the “A” is not the same as an upside-down “V” this does not work as an actual playing card. Even without the lyrics running down the side, which I almost forgot to put in. I don’t apologize for the stock art background. I didn’t think I’d be able to do my planned composition justice in the time before it was due. ]]>

Sunnis are the largest group of Muslims to be concerned with portrayals of the prophet Muhammed, mainly because they fear that it would cause idolatry, the worship of an image over the idea behind it. That is completely rational, and I respect that. But it is not a written in Qu'ran, and bans against it are only ever found in supplemental texts, and resemble the Jewish traditional ban on "graven images".

Persian and Ottoman Muslims over the centuries have created many beautiful works of art depicting Muhammed in a historical light. The Supreme Court Building in Washington DC depicts Muhammed along with Hammurabi and Moses as a Judge and Rule-maker. Devotional and historical films have been made about Muhammed. And in my opinion, yeah, the Dutch cartoons of Muhammed were kind of insensitive, and in my opinion, kind of not funny either. Maybe that's what passes for humor in the Netherlands.

So to anyone who threatens me with violence over a heavily stylized depiction of Muhammed with a cookie: Fuck you. ]]>

These suckers are poisonous. One bite, and you're in for days of pain. And while you wander around, getting weaker, your wound festers, and komodo dragons all around can smell it. They follow you. Patiently. Until you fall. Picking your skeleton clean should take it no more than a few hours. ]]>

This is what I see on the Right right now. Demagogues and pundits are throwing hateful, bile-filled misinformation out into the culture, and the disaffected, potentially violent, and racist members of our society are swarming.

Let's hope they're smart enough to know when to stop. Before someone gets bit. ]]>
