" Have nothing in your life you can't walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the Empire around the corner." Some old pitch art boards I did back in early 2010 brainstorming ideas for potential video games for LucasArts. I thought it might be fun to do a heist homage to HEAT #starwars #videogames

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

You cannot make this up. DOGE's crusade isn't about government efficiency. It's about making Elon Musk richer at your expense.

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

While working on Revenge of the Sith in 2004, Lucasfilm Books Editor Jonathan Rinzler suggested the artists on EP3 should come up with their own #comics stories set in the #StarWars Universe. This is some pitch art and interior page art from the story I did ' Old Wounds ' from Dark Comics ( 2005 ) 🙂

Late last night, Trump fired the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies. Inspectors general are tasked with rooting out fraud, abuse, and corruption. Trump wants loyalists in these positions — a key tenant of Project 2025. Keep paying attention. wapo.st/3Cptwvg

Trump ousts at least 12 independent inspectors general in late-night purge

The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires Congress to receive 30 days’ notice of any intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general.

Happy New Years! Some revised Godzilla Fan-imantion I tried just for fun as an exercise. Added some waves and missiles. First thing I recall ever trying to draw was Godzilla when I was 4. There was a Saturday Morning Cartoon in the 70s that was my introduction to the fandom. #godzilla #fanart #art
