Oh HELL no, #Audible. So you're going to not only steal my characters, infringing my copyright and IP, but you're also going to steal the voices of my brilliant audiobook narrators for your utterly crap AI chatbot? Get - and I say this with my whole heart - IN THE SEA! #NoAI

A headline from an online news article that reads: "Audible will soon let you talk to audiobook characters with a new AI feature."

Oh hi. It's my birthday 🙂 I have to say that diving into acrylic painting and book illustration over these last few years has been incredibly rewarding, and I enjoy learning more, painting more, and getting older really is quite great!

Cover illustration for "Fusion Fragment" showing a portrait of a woman facing upwards, as a mirror shatters around her. The mirror shards all show eyes of other women trapped within them. Two mask shards are also falling around her face, inspired by Japanese kabuki masks, representing her mixed heritage.

Acrylic painting showing Sauron's defeat by Lúthien and Huan at Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Book interior illustration for "Fangs for Nothing", showing the MC Winnie in a castle hallway. The scene takes inspiration from Gothic horror and Gothic romance movies, from the nightgown design to the candelabra.
A black cat hides behind Winnie's leg, a vampire hides in a dark doorway, and the red candlelight reflects of a suit of armor and several empty painting frames.

Acrylic character illustration for a fantasy book commission. The two characters are shown in a sparse, partially destroyed ice palace hall. Both characters have unnaturally pale skin and are clad in black.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

Hey the reason us straight cis allies are LIVID about Talairico and Acton and others throwing trans folks under the bus is that gay marriage is next alongside women's rights and if you can't fight for our trans brothers, sisters, and thisters/throthers, you don't deserve to fight for anyone

Rabies is 100% fatal if untreated. Please help spread the word about the exposure at the Farm Adventures mobile petting zoo in North Carolina. The vaccine is incredibly effective and will save your life. Also…. Rabies at a petting zoo!?!? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Cover reveal days are such fun, huge days for authors. But you know who they can also be huge for? The illustrators. Don’t forget to credit them. Cover reveals always blow up outside of an author’s bubble, and someone who sees it could be that artist’s next gig. ❤️

if it isn't clear, I'm with the 18+ artists. don't think because the majority of my art is market friendly that it means I am. fuck censorship, fuck fascism, fuck puritanism. people should have the choice to decide what they want to see, not have the choice made for them.

Hey! To everyone's surprise (and my own) it is another trip around the sun for me, so I am sharing some of my stuff. You can share it if you like it, or leave a comment.

An astronaut on a snow covered planet is facing a gigantic planet-like thing with burning maw-like structure as it approaches. Several buildings can be seen in the distance as well as bones of gigantic creatures frozen on the ground.

Battletech fan art. Two Ebon Jaguar mechs are striding through smoke firing lasers and missiles, supported by infantry and aerospace fighter.

The artwork showcases megalith known as Three Heads, being approached by the heavily armored Nameless Knight, followed by procession of ghosts from his Nameless Legion and a Candlebearer, a weird figure bearing candles on his shoulders and helmet. These are archetypes from upcoming soulslike TTRPG The Lands Remaining. The landscape around them is bleak, shrouded in fog, with barren rock formation and fried up, gnarled trees, the sky above them ashen and pale yellow.

Spaceship flying in the canyon, moving toward the futuristic base at high speed. Two planets and cloud shrouded sun can be seen in the sky. The base is blocky, with fork-like communication tower rising toward the sky.

B&W painting of a pale white haired guy in dark robes. A dark fluid is oozing out of his mouth and down his arms. The single color note is a purple pupilless eye

A b&w buff woman in a tank top. Golden dust motes leak out of one fully black eye

Pierre Bourdieu once argued that the question of whether something is art isn't answered by the artist's intention or even the object itself. Instead, the quality of being "art" is conferred by a community — curators, dealers, auction houses, audiences, etc. 🧵

Someone on Threads writes: "The Met Gala feels like real dystopian shit.

People can’t afford groceries or gas. But we’re going to celebrate this event which is nothing more than wealth porn."
