Exhibit A: these are pretty good examples of what I would consider his historic "freehand" style ... they display all his usual strengths and weaknesses as an artist - humorous content/concept, with strong, blocky line work, but also showing a somewhat amateurish technique when it comes to basic proportions and anatomy like drawing hands, which is admittedly rather difficult:

But recently, he's been posting stuff like this, which to my eye, look like obvious tracings and/or photo manipulations:

Some folks have commented in the threads on fb how much different these are than a lot of his past work, on a purely technical level... he says he's just drawing in a different style/medium... what does the dagboard think? Did he suddenly become a seriously technically advanced artist over the last year, or is he cutting A LOT of corners with this shit? It seems kinda lame to me that he's selling stuff that appears to be the digital equivalent of a paint-by-numbers kit from the 1970s... but maybe I'm wrong.
The floor is now open for debate.
