Jesse Baggs @jessebaggs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026CrockerCon 2026 is less than two weeks away and there is some amazing programming scheduled! However, first things first–I’ve been saying for months that the event starts at noon but it actually begins at 10am, which means two more hours of fun!

Jesse Baggs @jessebaggs.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I finally added a background to my oil pastel drawing “You Know I’m Gettin’ Silly” and fixed some other details while I was at it. I also changed the name to “Zugzwang,” which is a German phrase associated with chess that means, “compulsion to move.” 000
Jesse Baggs @jessebaggs.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Comics champion Eben Burgoon responded on Instagram to my last post and pointed out that the image of The Atom fighting his way out of a Venus flytrap was indeed connected to the Sacramento art scene and not, as I had assumed, just a fun comics-related image.

Jesse Baggs @jessebaggs.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Here’s the first of two new pieces debuting at Weatherstone tomorrow: “Fecund Slop;” acrylic on canvas, 14” x 18”. I’m moving away from using colored markers as they make better rough drafts than finished pieces. Working in paint and oil pastels allows for the rough draft to become the final piece. 031

![Cover and page six of the July issue of “Natomas Magazine.” Most of the cover is taken up by the digital painting “How Bad I Was” by Jesse Baggs, which depicts a futuristic-looking woman–who is nude except for a Mayan-looking headset–breathing out a cloud of smoke that takes the form of a genie’s face. The magazine’s logo, a black, capital “N” atop a red square, sits in the upper left corner of the image along with the text, “Celebrate Neighbors.” Text in the middle reads, “Jesse Baggs Art [❡] United States 250 [❡] Community Loss [❡] Jenn Chawla [❡] Safal Mengi [❡] Tia’s Home Bistro [❡] Dining Dudes[.]” Handwritten in the bottom right corner is the name, “Baggs” and “2 of 5.” Page six contains a feature of Jesse Baggs. A photo on top of the page depicts Baggs standing in front of two of his pieces, one of a silly looking Batman and the other the image used on the cover, “How Bad I Was. A block quote reads, “Jesse Baggs has explored the subconscious through automatic drawing using a variety of tools. He turned some of those results into larger digital art.” Accompanying the text are two more works of art by Baggs, one of a silly looking Super Mario, the other of a wizard gurning at the viewer. A box in the bottom right corner says, “Learn more [❡] Jesse Baggs [❡] www.jessebaggs.com [❡] Natomas Second Saturday [❡] www.secondsaturdayinnatomas.com [❡] N magazine online [❡] www.nmag.net[.]”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:o6qz4r6ak4mjz25hzxjg5p2o/bafkreih62liwaybmxsibyqcyt7yepbkckwzg7wz5ifnip6bjde7rqp4dqm)
