Everywhere I look lately a cis-Male comic creator is announcing a female-led project whilst my timelines are flooded with accounts of SA, both adult & minor, and I’ve never been more aware of living in a Patriarchal society.

A man walks down a road surrounded by metal fencing. A bare foot steps into panel behind him. Graffiti on the fence reads “ I don’t believe in nothing”

Another from my Pridemon series, and maybe my favorite Pokémon created since Gen 2, Corviknight.

I 💙 Greninja. From my Pridemon series of illustrations.

An illustration of the ninja-frog Pokémon, Greninja. It is jumping quickly through the air with its bipedal legs pulled up to its body. Greninja's tongue is wrapped around its neck like a scarf and is trailing behind it with arms outstretched to its sides.

Can we agree that you need to stop using AI for your art? I'm looking to do something crazy as an artist: book one commission a day for 50 days. Any budget, any subject, 100% digital unless you want to pay shipping and materials fees. You can check out more art on my portfolio: www.RandyHaldeman.com

Anyone out there able to help out a fellow artist? Life is hitting my family quite hard monetarily right now. So I'm trying to do something I don't usually like to do; reach out to my community for help.

I still find it ridiculous that the right wants to keep banning books, like Maus. Meanwhile, they’ve never seemed to ask themselves why it’s possible to still buy books like Mein Kempf.

My new novel THE DARKER THE NIGHT is out from @rowanprosepub.bsky.social! Matt knew it wouldn’t be easy convincing his ex Lilly their son should have a chance to live with his dad. Lilly is dead set against the idea. Now she’s just dead, and Matt is the prime suspect books2read.com/u/3Jq1Bv

@brandonbarrows.bsky.social just delivered me the script to the story I was working on a few months ago. I wish I was able to write it myself, but it wasn't "my" story. Digging into the script today and I wanted to share the cover piece I made based on my first draft.

A golden crown with oval, crimson stones sits on cracked ground. In the background is a medieval metal cage door surrounded by dead vines growing on the walls. A red light shines from behind the door. The words "The Blight King" are typed in white with a thin white line border around the outside.

As a Nintendo fan, I’m always up to play some Star Fox. As an artist, I’m kind of terrified of the new character renders. There’s something uncanny valley about them. Super Smash Bros. always handled the SF characters quite well, but now they’re too real. It’s Sonic all over again.

As someone who started their working life in a fast food job (and then another 15+ years of F&B and retail), I have never understood the term "unskilled labor." They required incredible skill and patience. And tbf, the reason is because of the people who think it is unskilled.

Routine change

Comic about a puppy who's routine has changed. The puppy says; "My routine has changed unexpectedly but that's okay I'll adapt" while the second panel shows inside the puppy's mind with smaller puppies saying; "okay everyone let's freak out and trigger an immune response"

Notice how a book can make you gay, a vaccine can make you autistic, a mask can make you sicker, and a poster of the Ten Commandments can make you moral, but guns don’t kill people.

I spent WAAAAYYYY too many hours drawing Pokémon heads. This is from the original 151, with a nice little bonus Pokémon thrown in. One that you could argue could have easily been the 153rd Gen I Pokémon. The 152nd being Ho-Oh, who I sadly left out in case I do Gen II. #Pokemon #Illustration #Comics

Just got a chance to see The Wild Robot, and wow, what a beautiful movie. A few beats were easily seen coming, but the message was loud and clear from the start. It is a movie that I think sits perfectly right next to Wall-E in trying to give us yet another warning of the future.
