Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

A really cool book arrived today from Lifeline Comics! @philfalcowrites wrote a short story for this anthology that I had the pleasure of illustrating and it is perfect for this time of year. Great work everyone! Let’s create more in the future! :D

Fanart for Our Hideous Progeny by C.E. McGill Going through old work and came across some book covers I created for my portfolio. It's amazing how it doesn't feel that long since I worked on them, but there are things I would tweak in each piece to improve them.

Sam Neill, "One of the secrets of life is to take what you do seriously. But never, never, take yourself seriously, and I never have" May you step into the next life with the same excitement and wonder that we all experienced when you first saw dinosaurs in Jurassic Park. RIP 🙏

A stylized doodle of a spiky-furred black cat with a pencil in its mouth, arching its back and looking disgruntled and angry. Around it it says “I don’t want to make videos….i just want to draw” and the background is bright yellow-green.
