hello we're having a one day comics festival in Ottawa this April and I'm never going to shut up about it tell your friends!!! ottawacomicsfestival.com

Hillwood Block Party Some Hey Arnold! fanart. Easily the most characters I've crammed into a drawing but it's hard to leave them out, you know? I've been rewatching Hey Arnold! And falling in love all over again. #art #Nickelodeon #heyarnold #heyarnoldfanart

I survived! And, I created an AI-free art reference resource and found a great community around the effort. (Technically the site launched late 2024, but 2025 is when it took off.) I honed my photography skills and have taken over 30,000 photos this year as part of it. I’m really proud of all of it.

It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military. If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:

Definitely making stickers of this guy but should I add a background and make a print? What should I draw?!

Join is headed to Russia in July!

If you want to create something but you can't think of a way to bring it into the world without AI, I don't think you want it badly enough.

Someone please hire me to draw your album art

From rough sketch to final piece

Last year I created an animated short using music created for JHS Pedals by musicians Nick Loux and Emily Hopkins @emilyharpist.bsky.social In an officially sanctioned collaboration with JHS I'm extremely proud to say that short is out now and you can watch it on YouTube. youtu.be/A1lDkK-6buc?...

Need a last minute gift? I'm offering a single heavily discounted commission for $45 CAD so I can justify buying a puppet of my favourite Pokemon. I am dead serious. Here's a link to my website. brennanbova.com

This is probably my last big piece for the year. Probably. Sometimes inspiration strikes and there's nothing you can do but my current plans are to spend the holidays relaxing, finishing Dragon Age and doing some freelance. I hope everyone had a productive year.

Animation has an inherent spirit of invention rooted deeply in it, as all art does. But more than a still drawing, you have to think about so much more. Timing, spacing, etc.

I'm having a bad morning so I'm about to launch into a diatribe about something I care about. Animation history.

I don't really know what to post here. I don't want to just double down on my Instagram posts. I'll try and ramble more about cartoons and stuff. And maybe post more progress photos or videos?

Here's some more December art!

Hi hi, so I don't post a lot but I DRAW a lot. So if you haven't seen my Instagram @brennanbova here's some stuff I did this month

Oh, I finished the photo study

Working on this photo study this morning.

Some drawings from the last couple of weeks
