I almost got to work on him, 1 of the only jobs I lost out on to another artist, at least the cover artist at the time was the superbly talented then art director of God of War, who’s gone on to design for the cinematic marvel universe, Andy Park. Excited for God of War: Laufey! #Kratos #Ragnarok

Waiting at yet another doctor’s appointment, I started this in my most recent sketchbook. I can’t believe I’ve never drawn one of my absolute favorite characters in any medium as I’ve been obsessed with Greek myth since I was 5 & wore out my tape to Clash of the Titans. #Kratos #GodofWar

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Oldie but a goodie: In ‘06 post Katrina a friend from the comic shop lost his whole collection, so his girlfriend bought him this original comic of Wolverines first appearance to restart it but she also commissioned me to draw the cover in my own style. Fantastic Colors by Ryan Lord.

Way back when in the early aughts before Gears of War2 came out I did some covers which didn’t go to print quite the way I had hoped as the game makers kept asking Wildstorm to make his neck comically larger with the liquify tool. Ironically my figures were never muscular enough for them.

Unfinished underpainting to a Starfire commission. Needs more green ambient lighting, more contrast to make silky seem translucent & to finish the reflections on the metallic gauntlets before hitting it with some colored pencil details. Haven’t had the time lately, but it’s still pretty fun as is.

It sure looks like they used Ai to redact the files because the word “Don’t” was redacted likely because it has the letters Don T. Not that we didn’t know that was the aim to protect their Pedo POTUS who knows where the bodies are buried.

The great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to order than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice

A lot of the problems we face stem from not listening to the people who were right at every turn but treated like the ever cursed Cassandra every fucking time. Preferring palatable but obvious lies to uncomfortable truths is a mask for callousness that destroys democracies & benefits oppressors.

As Trump bulldozes the way for the A.I. companies that stuff his pockets, the opposition from Republicans and most Dems has been weak - as polls show younger voters are skeptical. Even @MarshaBlackburn is against federally nullifying states’ ability to regulate them.

Helpful reminder about this administration “releasing files”. They had Mark Meadows burning documents to cover up their crimes when they lost in ‘20. No one was punished for it, helping him regain power. Whatever files get released by this pedo-prez will likely be missing its most damning evidence.

The pervasively destructive problem Dems face is the public perception that more Dems agree with the conservadems & it’s a game of corporatist musical chairs for who gets to betray their base. The disabled (26% of US) were thrown under the bus by these 8 cowards, many will die due to ACA changes.
