if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

Artist! Quote with your most detailed art! I think by default it's the painting commissions I took back in the day. This is Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL. Acrylic on watercolor paper, 20" x 30", I think. (Some of my medical illustration work is also very detailed, but much less pleasant!)

I know a lot of people are starting to log out for the holidays, so while we're all still here, I just want to share an important annual reminder from Comic Book Dad that you are awesome --

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦 #birds

made my second sketchbook epsee.itch.io/epsketch-2

IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE A COMIC... Please talk about it on this thread! I would love to hear what stage you are at, what is working well, and what has proven more difficult than you thought. Share a bit of art, if you can! Sing your own praises, if you like!

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

Calling this done because if I don't I'll keep fussing with the details forever and it's driving me crazy. 😅 Titling this one "Languish" 🦁

I tried in vain to get this piece done in time for my best friend's birthday in Nov. (She requested it.) Alas, it is only about 60% painted atm. Rather than spoil the WIP of the colors, here's the complete final sketch before painting happened.

🔸I found my bluesky password! I can finally catch up on some art here. Let’s start with the koi tiger.

☕I've been privately making little moments for the Liminal Cafe, a story about 2 baristas serving to lost souls in an ever-changing cafe. If you like eldritch cottagecore, tea, queer stories, and a personal touch, you can follow along here. More news in 2026~ Thank you for giving me the push❤️

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

It's time to talk to you about my cat.

As a medical illustrator, it's usually, "Oh. What's a medical illustrator?" (Always followed by the eternal joy of explaining to a native English speaker the obvious meaning of those 2 extremely basic words.)

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

Quote your art with glasses on!

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Added new prints to my store (in bio)! There’s a massive Xmas sale so please get yourself some art :3

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

are you also as sick of seeing AI generated posters/flyers/etc in public as I am? I made some Big stickers about it and will be selling packs of them at future shows 🫶

Dear world: Instead of, you know, sucking, could you please give my friends enough sales that they can quit their jobs and write or make art full time if they want to? Please. Love, Morgan

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning. And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

This is so offensive I don’t even know where to start. “Vote blue no matter who and also shut the fuck up when those people betray you.” Nope. We will primary every senator who doesn’t call for Schumer to step down in the next 24 hours. You work for us.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

The world lost a genial man, a genius communicator and a supreme artist. I lost a friend - beloved Drew.
