Hey I did a Magic: the Gathering card. Actually I've done almost 30 at this point but this is the first one that's actually out :,) Draconic Visitor - AD Jason Gomez - coming out next month in the Reality Fracture release.

Digital illustration - a red dragon with twisting, impossible in perspective horns flies through an equally impossible twisting, spherical staircase, in the middle of a giant glowing backlit hall full of upside down staircases and draconic statues.

The aforementioned illustration in it's borderless "Draconic Visitor" card frame.

checking in from Switzerland with ROCKS for all my fellow lovers of QUALITY STONE. These are all from Trümmelbach cave/waterfalls, a series of tunnels carved by glacial water from Jungfrau and two other peaks.

Hi, poor person here. this is an incorrect trope often used by the upper classes. both political parties cater to the very rich who have oddball priorities often driven by esoteric moral values. the poor are never given an option to vote for any of their own interests at all. thanks for reading.

This collection was completely insane, and it was so beautiful to see so many seminal works of illustration that up until now have only lived in private collections or odd one off shows pulled together into one space.

some more ceramic pieces from last month!

A little ceramic sculpture of a brown appaloosa horse with various shades of cream and black making up its spots.

A little brown creature with a long neck, nubby horns, and a white belly.
Little black spots are all over its body and it sports a delicate pink blush over its cheeks.

A white dish with little blue, big eyed fish and stars circling the inside.

A photo of two white dishes with a brown checkerboard pattern on the inside.
In the centre of them is an aged gold finish.

Had a very nice rainy day up at Mt. Wilson Observatory for a chamber concert.

Mt Wilson Observatory’s white telescope dome viewed through trees against a grey cloudy sky.

Inside of the 100 inch telescope dome, looking up at the ceiling.

View from Mt. Wilson of all of LA, grey cloudy skies parting to expose a view all the way to the ocean. Dead trees remain on the hillside from the Altadena fire.

View from the road up at a smaller telescope dome, all white, rising up from the trees.

My wife, a prodigious sleep-talker, failed to disclose her affliction when we started dating, which led to the fright of my life the night she sat bolt upright in bed and in a low flat monotone loudly declared that “THIRTEEN BABIES REMAIN UNFATHERED.”

does everyone remember fencegate, because now the neighbor on the other side (who is always in screaming matches with his tenant)(because he is in fact a shit ass slumlord) is being a brat to us about our shared fence but also mid-argument whined to us about how he lost land when this happened ⚰️

Seeing this film on the big screen is nothing short of staggering - completed in 1959, it is an unrivalled masterpiece of hand drawn animation, painting, design, special effects, production and scoring. It is a beautiful, weird dream made to astounding standards of finish and care. #sleepingbeauty

ROMANCING THE THRONE by Caitlin Cooper. I had so much fun working on this humorous but earnest meta riff on the romantasy genre. And look a that gorgeous type by my AD/designer Lindsey Whitt!

Digital illustration rendered in vivid purples, pinks, golds and neutrals, a large blue dragon breathes fire down behind a young man clutching a teen girl in her arms. She is slinging one arm around his neck, holding a glowing crystal shard, and in the other reads a book. Our male hero, wearing a classic medieval tunic with ties, a belt, and a red cape with shoulder length dark hair with a sword in his other hand, looks put out but amused by this situation.

Same cover as above but now with type, "ROMANCING THE THRONE" in large letters, with the author's name, 'Caitlin Cooper' in a looping sans serif across the type. A piece of copy reads "Falling into your favorite book isn't all it's cracked up to be..."

I got this finished up! :) It was done with watercolors, gouache, acrylic ink and walnut ink.

A watercolor painting of a skeleton wearing very thick and flowing and draping robes with a hood. It is very gently embracing a human figure, who presses their head against the skeleton's chest and shoulder area as though seeking comfort.

NEW DAY, MORE RIVER which means MORE ROCKS BABYYYY

Photo of rock formations on the Yuba River that have been smoothed overtime by the white rapids.

My hand reaching out to hold a smoothed section of rock that juts out like a mitten just waiting to be held.

Rocky outcroppings surround a stream waterfall that feeds the Yuba.

because of the quarterly nature of publishing it's that time of year where I turn into a "No" machine and turn down jobs because my inbox turns into a broken fire hydrant. Not complaining, it's a nice problem, but all my usual referrals are busy. You draw book covers? You available? sound off below

I was given the sacred taste of drawing to-scale Four and Tris for the Sixth Faction book tour and promotion so they could be turned into standees. It almost blew my CPU into outerspace even drawing them at 1/3 scale but I would do anything for My Children.
