Frankly, if I'm looking to track my progress, these two pictures of The Thing pretty much nail it. September of 2026 vs October of 2021. It's not just the color, I can tell I'm inking differently here as well.

SURPRISE! MY FIRST COMIC IN 12 YEARS!!! I was inspired by all the amazing comic folk I met at Baltimore Comic Con that I finished this comic strip I doodled out the week we lost Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen. This is Darwyn! Channeling how we’re feeling in the fun time that is 2026.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Since it's Pokémon's 30th anniversary this year I wanted to draw something to celebrate the franchise that has been part of my life for pretty much all of it. Here's to another 30 years.

A Pokemon trainer laying on a grass hill underneath a tree as the sun beams down. The trainer is wearing jeans, a jacket and toque while also cuddling with Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle who are all splayed out around them.

This was greatly inspired by the first Peanuts strip, "How I Hate Him". I love the fact that the first time we meet Charlie Brown ends on a button like that. I've always loved the format to comic strips because you can play with timing!

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I'm not doomed, I'm just late

A comic about feeling doomed. Bex is lay on the floor with her head down. She says, "It's too late for me... I fucked everything up... I took too long..." She suddenly lifts her head and says, "then again, I'm always late..." Sitting up, she says, "And it's usually fine..." Finally standing on her feet, she says, "So why am I worrying about it?"

They want AI regulated as a doomsday weapon so it won't be regulated for fraud and copyright infringement; that way, their competition will be prevented from getting off the ground and they can join the Military Industrial Complex for permanenr government funding.

As mentioned before I got some rate info from an artist who wishes to remain anonymous. They said the current Marvel rates are $250 pp pencils and inks (that's 160 pencils, 90 inks) at their basic rate from when they dropped the rates about ten years ago. It used to be 300.
