Post Rapture I’ll Have Even LESS People to Facetime With

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

So, only slightly more entertaining than the “Does billboard advertising work? JUST DID!” signs are those advertising the upcoming rapture. Seriously, thanks fundamental Christians for using all that money that could have been spent on starving orphans or irradiated Japanese to let me know that the fake rapture is coming. The rapture is this Saturday, and that sucks, but what doesn’t suck will be the post-rapture looting. Naturally, I’ve got my eye on some sweet Apple products. If my soul is going to be damned, it’s going to be damned with 30′ monitors all over my house.

But of course, when I RSVPd my looting intentions on the Facebook event, someone just had to go shooting down my plans and pointing out we have already all sold our souls to Steve.

Yeah I know, you took a few hipstamatic Hipstamatic pics and you’re calling yourself a real artist. You’re showing them to your mom and she’s thinking she passed the next Annie Leibovitz through her loins. No, you are not an artist. You downloaded an app, you artfully applied one of a limited selection of filters, you did not graduate from the Rhode Island School of Design.

While you’re deciding between the Jimmy or the Williamsburg, there are people making real art. People like Iszy. Look at that, you couldn’t draw that with a box of pastels and Bob Ross looking over your shoulder, and Iszy did it on an iPad.

Iszy is trying to complete one iPhone or iPad drawing a day to post on his blog (most of them done with the app Sketchbook Pro Sketchbook Pro), and rounds them out with some full tutorials on his Youtube channel. As an aspiring comic artist, he largely draws weird robots, busty heroines and ugly monsters and less cute dogs, like the one featured above, but it’s a blog worth visiting.
