@varguyart Love seeing a new Varguy illustration!

I keep asking myself why am I posting X. At this stage, this platform seems like a total trash heap. Nothing I post (related to my art) gets any visibility and most of the content that’s put in front of me is total garbage. I really may just ditch this platform.

@RollingStone An attempt to make Barbie?! How would you get that from the movie. It’s silly. It’s definitely not a statement. Just have fun with it.

First look at Uri Tupka and the Devils, coming soon from @DarkHorseComics.

Name this Masters of the Universe Character!

[R.L. Black @rlblackink]

Masters of the Universe today! Yes, I am super pumped about the He-Man movie. I am a child of the 80s to some extent and the prospect of a hilarious homage to one of the pillars of my youth is enticing. Here’s a Skeletor drawing as tribute! #MastersoftheUniverse @mastersmovie
