Every day of my life now I’m fending off baseless false AI accusations from people going as far as to reply to other commenters

A comment exchange with personal information scribbled out. First commenter says “amazing progression man. Is the bakery dragon a story or picture book?” And someone replies “some of these are AI”

It's the last day to back Modern Dragons!

A digital illustration of a little brown/red dragon on the curb outside a bakery in the pouring rain. The bakery window is golden, warm, and alluring. The colors outside are cold and blue. The dragon just wants to be inside!

Garden Dragons (2 days left to back Modern Dragons!)

A girl greets little winged dragons in her garden in this digital painting. The girl has brown skin and purple box braids, she wears a yellow and pink T-shirt and orange shorts. She is repotting plants at a garden bench outside. She greets a little docile dragon that resembles a large white crested gecko. It sniffs her fingers. Two other dragons look on, perched on a garden shade.

Library fines have gotten weird since the change in management

In this digital painting, a girl is walking down the spiral staircase of a library, carrying a box of treasures in her arms. She has a brown canvas backpack full of books on her back. In the center of the tower-shaped library, a two-headed dragon rests atop a massive pile of books. One of the heads is sleeping, while the other has just awoken and peeks with one cyan eye at the girl descending the stairs. A very anxious librarian is a short distance up the stairs, gripping the rail and his cane, and an equally anxious library assistant sits on the stair above him. Blue stained glass windows cast a bright light through the image, and a normal window somewhere offscreen lets in a vibrant warmth that hits the girl and the dragon. The girl appears uncertain too, and has an overdue notice in her backpack -- she is delivering overdue fines to the dragon, in the form of personal treasures!

I really appreciate all the kind comments on my lamenting into the void about AI. I promise I’ll never let the machines dim my love for making human art.

Late night at the art studio

In this digital painting, a girl is working on a collection of oil paintings of a tiger late at night in an art studio. A real tiger jumps straight out of the biggest canvas onto the floor in front of her, and she draws back in surprise! The girl has brown hair, brown skin, and a blue painting T-shirt that says "Save Earth" and is covered in paint marks. She is wearing casual clothes, and has clearly been on a late deadline!

Endpaper illustration I created for the special edition of Howl's Moving Castle published by HarperCollins last year!

In this digital illustration, Howl and Sophie from "Howl's Moving Castle" stand in the doorway of the castle. We can see different skies through different windows, a nod to how the castle travels. Calcifer the blue fire demon smiles from the fireplace. Pots and pans hang from the mantle. The shelves have potions and books. A drawer full of spells and magical things is on the other side of the doorway. Herbs hang from the ceiling. Howl's guitar leans against the wall, and Sophie's hats hang above it.

Hello there fellow fishermen! Please accept my fresh-caught gift. Might we become very good friends?

In this digital illustration, two fishermen back away in total surprise as an oceanic dragon lands on their ship bearing a gift of a gigantic tuna. The deep cyan sea splashes under the fishing boat. Seabirds ride the sunset breeze.

My Ninja Turtles card from Magic the Gathering was revealed!

Art from the Magic Card “Turtles Forever”
The four teenage mutant ninja turtles appear in a multiverse crossover. Donatello appears to be from the old live action movie, Raphael from the Fred Wolf TV cartoon, Leonardo from the Magic the Gathering TMNT universe, and Michelangelo from the Mirage comics. They are fist bumping and noogie-ing each other in front of a bright cityscape background. Ninjas lay scattered and defeated behind them.
