Two book covers I did a while back, don't think I ever posted them here (ps - very open for book cover commissions!)

Cover art for "Canadian Chills Series No. 2 - Ghost Hotel" by Arthur Slade. The cover depicts two preteen kids looking into an elevator at something unseen and possibly scary out of frame.

Cover art for "Canadian Chills Series No. 1 - Return of the Grudstone Ghosts." The cover depicts a young girl coming across a glowing ghost boy in an old bell tower, piled with a bunch of old junk - a broom, some old books, comedy and drama masks, a basketball, a hula hoop, and so on.

Be certain, as is always the case with things such as this, that ANYTHING can be considered sexual and can end in a blanket account shadowban under this. It is easily weaponized it is determined by an AI moderation system. There is no accountability or recourse. you probly can't read this.

It's kind of hilarious to see Bluesky eagerly making a run at self-immolation by learning absolutely nothing from Tumblr's self-own.

If this was the 80s, or there was any justice left in the world, this would be an entire toyline with a cartoon series backing it up.

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back. It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.

Really tired of Instagram constantly suggesting pro-AI posts to me no matter how many times I block them. They always start with 'this changes everything' & end with 'comment __ to find out more,' and, like, buddy, I already know it's a scam, you don't need to tell me with your whole chest.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

Too cold to use the resin printer this week, so I thought I'd start running off the pieces for my Munsters scene I'm working on. Still need to model the door knocker and handles.

Data is correct, causal agency is (IMO) incorrect. The vast majority of ppl who use AI to make images and video have never touched and would never touch Photoshop/AfterEffects/Illustrator/etc. The issue is Adobe trying to squeeze its users with subscriptions, and other customer-hostile behavior.

Maybe if they focused on keeping the apps from being absolute memory pigs, stopped all the fun new bugs from crashing them all the time, and stopped shoving AI promos in your face all the time, we might be able to use them again instead of looking for functional alternatives.

Eep! I had something very similar last year due to accidentally adding royalties twice. 10 months, 4 reviews, and one dispute resolution still in progress and the CRA still hasn't sorted it out and paid me back what they owe me, even though it's just correcting one line on their end.

Hey, it’s #PortfolioDay! I’m Ted, of Ted & Ro, and together we make comics! Currently working on the #WorstManOGN, a smart, fast, gay crime romcom set at a wedding, lettered by @gofrankgo.bsky.social, edited by @phoebehedges.bsky.social and published by @comicstitan.bsky.social!

A comic cover. A cheeky, skinny man with red hair and a red suit is toasting the camera as he's sat flamboyantly in the lap of a burly guy with curly black hair, who's glaring at the first guy. They're sat in a giant wedding cake, collapsing it. The redhead is using his foot to hold up the cake topper, a stylised image of the bride and groom. Sticking into the cake is a giant wedding invite with the title, "Worst Man". In the foreground, falling like confetti, are dove feathers.

A comics panel. A skinny red-headed guy with a nose bleed, wearing a hotel uniform, is looking at the camera and shrugging a bit

Two panels of a comic. Both are set in a large, spacious hotel lobby, behind the reception desk and looking out towards the grand front door.

Panel 1: a burly guy wearing a vest, pyjama bottoms and a belt with a gun and phone on it is gesturing a little awkwardly, looking embarrassed. A skinny guy wearing hotel uniform is looking a little embarrassed and shy.

Panel 2: the skinny guy is now looking overwhelmed and supremely embarrassed. The burly guy is stiffly walking in a huge panic off the side of the panel.

I've always been a minimalist designer, and I just realized that everything I see for AI is the antithesis of that. No careful thought, just throwing as much as possible at the wall. No satisfaction of trying to chip away something to its base essence. 'Realism' and noise.
