I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is something A.I. shares with crypto. They are both parasitic technologies. Crypto can’t exist without the U.S. Dollar and A.I. can’t exist without access to a robust ecosystem of ever expanding human knowledge. Excellent analysis by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/o...

But A.I. is a parasite. It attaches itself to a robust learning ecosystem and speeds up some parts of the decision process. The parasite and the host can peacefully coexist as long as the parasite does not starve its host. The political problem with A.I.'s hype is that its most compelling use case is starving the host - fewer teachers, fewer degrees, fewer workers, fewer healthy information environments.

Since The Savage Sword of Conan #8 is fast approaching, I have decided to show my complete spread from the later #11 story to hopefully get you in the mood! I've produced a color version of this which will be available at cons as a print too. 🙂

Happy World Book Day!

Title: Possible Early Precursors to World Book Day

1. Boktide, 1000ad A grand tournament of literature, culminating with the king choosing one 800k For 'Ethelred's Book Club' and writing a blurb for the cover.

2. Night of Sacrifice, 800ad By the light of the full moon, offerings of overdue books and tiny sums of money were made at shrines to the savage librarian-god Schussh.

3. Day of Banishment, 600ad The weakest member of the tribe was given writing materials, sent into the wilderness and only allowed to return if they wrote a bestselling book.

I think there needs to be a full campaign to elevate and celebrate public service and the work that people do on our behalf for the public good. We need to know what Musk's cuts will cost us, and the best way to do that is through story. Public service is beautiful! Let's talk about it!

Here's another old #Hearthstone painting, Aberrant Berserker (the working title was Corrupted Berserker). This is probably one of the most dynamic poses I've ever painted and I was delighted when this ended up as a massive, mural-sized ad on a wall in Australia!

It doesn’t take a genius to see how much revenue artists and authors bring into a country, and yet here we are with a supposedly progressive government telling creatives they should let AI steal all their work 🥲

Happy Winter Solstice. Egret on Snowy Branch. Ink, 64 × 89 mm, 2014. Inspired by Ohara Koson.

Ink drawing of an egret standing with one leg raised on a snowy branch against a night sky with gently falling snow. The piece is characterised by simple, clean linework and strong contrasts of black and white and is reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints.

Here's another early #Hearthstone painting, Son of the Flame, painted back in 2014 or 2015. I really had fun with all the fire and lava in this one. Plus, I always enjoy working with analogous color schemes!

Prince Valiant by Hal Foster It's hard to get past the brilliance of Foster's art. I mean, really, NOTHING comes close to it on a level of sheer draughtsmanship. But once you get past it, there's subtle humor, drama, and even an undercurrent of soap opera. Masterful comics.

Wedding scene from Hal Foster's Prince Valiant. Incredible drawing and rendering of figures, rocks, trees, etc.

The last panel from Hal Foster's last Prince Valiant Sunday page. Yep. That's just one panel. Brilliant.

Epic bridge battle from Hal Foster's Prince Valiant.

Epic battle from Hal Foster's Prince Valiant. Shown in black-and-white to highlight the mastery of Foster's brush and pen work. Effin' incredible.
