So I'm helping my little bro learn how to draw. One of the ways we do so is he will show me a really cool comic page or artwork and I'll help him understand WHY his eyeballs like it so much.

Do not get used to Palestinian tears.
Do not think Palestinian wails are the norm.
Palestinians do not come into this world angry, orphaned, and begging-- they have been made this way. We MUST believe in Palestinian liberation and dream of it, as they do.

"Years of study and research, my aesthetic sensibilites have refined into a singular line choice, every detail is intent"

How to have an "art style":
1) Chop up all the shit you like, try to have as much variety as you can
2) Sprinkle some of your own special brand of laziness
3) Toss it in a blender
4) Throw an overlay layer over it all set at 14% opacity
