Wasn't there an interview with Dees about how he knows nothing about photoshop and just kind of hopes he finds new tricks each time he makes art?

"My setup to work now could not be simpler, all I use is Adobe Photoshop and an Intuos Bamboo Pad and Pen. And my understanding of photoshop is horribly basic—mostly I am just doing fancy layering and airbrush. These pieces average around 100 to 200 layers, and they are just hammered together piece by piece. I see people who do outrageous art on photoshop, and I have not a single clue how it is done. I just do a cut and paste style that any pro can see right through." -Dees

Dees is somehow more self aware than a bunch of cartoonists in this thread.

Did they paint that thing with dirt plastic model style or has it actually been used for dirty work?

It has definitely not been used for any actual work.

You deserve an answer to this, because you have to see it.

It's afternoon, and Jones is walking through the studio, his adrenaline level high and his blood sugar low. He needs to get something to eat. Platters of BBQ - chicken, beef and sausages - are set out on a table in the conference room. "Good barbecue," says Jones. "You tasted it already?"

He piles up food onto a plastic plate, and then he suddenly takes off his shirt without explanation. With his bare torso, he sits there and shovels meat into his mouth, a caricature of manliness, but also a show of power to the reporter sitting in front of him. He can do as he pleases.

Too many tools probably hurt artist more than help. Old artist only had a palette and a brush and they did all the art we know and love.

I've said it before, but there's something refreshing about Dees. His cartoons are easy to interpret and it's pure injection of crazy into my veins. Shame about his hatred of Jews, though.

It's hard to hate anyone who is legitimately sick. There's probably some part of him that is horrified by what he has become, locked away behind madness.

My opinion of Dees is equal parts bemusement and pity, spiced with just a bit of "oh, remember how much he hates Jews?" to keep it real.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

So he's going to eat enough meat to forget them?

Or does that just work with chili?

I think he intends to eat so much red meat that his heart straight up detonates.
