While I don't post art there anymore, I do still lurk on twitter to keep an eye on things... and watching the coke ad & fake "behind the scenes" video get absolutely eviscerated is giving me life. It's so bad the criticism has bled over to LinkedIn. AI criticism on LINKEDIN!! You love to see it.

Probably my favorite photo I took at the zoo. Black-footed ferret napping under a heat lamp! (I might also be a bit jealous... a cozy nap sounds great right about now.)

I went to the zoo today! Last time I was there was in 2009 when @geoholms.bsky.social was visiting, so it's been quite awhile. It was thankfully not too cold to do some life drawing, which was a lot of fun—definitely want to do more when time and weather permit.

The biggest thing i've learned as an artist who sells prints and merch is don't make what people ask for. They won't buy it. Make what you, the artist, want to see printed on the support of ur choice. I can't explain why but THAT'S what will sell. People who buy the most are the silent ones. 🫶

Freshly picked up from my local comic book shop— @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social’s new book! Can’t wait to curl up with it on a gloomy autumn afternoon 😄

Although... the incoming mayor of NY freakin' C being *younger than me* is definitely triggering some "oh god what am I doing with my life" feelings (I'll get over it)

Feeling hope for the first time in a long time tonight—Mamdani's victory is a glimmer of light in the darkness. Go NYC!!

May you have the happiest of Halloweens! 🎃 #SpookySeason

Surprising absolutely no one: seal witch! Happy Halloween, folks 🎃 #stickerdesign #characterdesign #halloween #seal #witch

Had an unused sketch of a little dragon wizard hanging around on my iPad for a while and decided it was high time to turn it into a print and a (glow-in-the-dark!) sticker. ’Tis the season for magic, after all! #dragon #creaturedesign #characterdesign #wizard #magic

New sticker design! Unfortunately I didn’t finish this little guy in time to have them produced for this spooky season, but I will have prints with me at the Appleton Halloween Eclectic Market this Saturday! #characterdesign #mouse #pirate #halloween #trickortreat

Heading to MDEV 2025 in a couple weeks? Or can’t make it but still want some cool merch to show your support for the midwest’s largest games industry-focused event? You’re in luck: yours truly designed this year’s t-shirt, and it’s available for purchase RIGHT NOW!

If you ever have an idea for a TV show or movie, make a comic or book first so YOU own the original rights. Then, if one of these companies wants to adapt it, sure! but they'll only own their version of it. Don't let your work get caught up inside some billionaire version of Hungry Hungry Hippos.

Happy Spooky Season! Which, in my humble opinion, is the *actual* most wonderful time of the year 🍁 🎃 #illustration #halloween #october #spookyseason #cat #bat #pumpkins

Also, speaking as someone with adopted family members, passing on your dna is an ultimately meaningless “legacy.” Raising your children to be good people who try and make the world a better place is a legacy that actually matters.

(This is the print of this seal that I will *hopefully* have with me on Saturday—this time I need the printer gods to smile upon me. So, uh, I’m not sure what my chances are, but we’ll see!)

I will once again be tabling in the artist alley at the Brown County Library Pop Con—my favorite event of the year! It’s always such a good time, with so much to see and do. Locals, hope to see you there! #characterdesign #seal #popcon #librarypopcon #indieartist

Since people are jiving with the "we want new stuff, jk" post, here's my original work. I will say it's hard to get out there, but those who have read it like it, and in some cases, REALLY like it. It's not the next big thing, but I hope you'll give it a try. onegemini.com/digitalprevi...

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

Here in Wisconsin, we will continue to follow the science to ensure Wisconsinites have access to the healthcare they need when and where they need it. That includes safe, effective vaccines. www.wpr.org/news/tony-ev...

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

It has been a fun week of anxiety-so-bad-I-feel-like-I-could-throw-up from like three (no wait, four) different things.

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

We all have our comfort foods, our comfort shows, and maybe even our comfort games (Breath of the Wild, anyone?)… and some of us have our comfort doodle subjects. One of mine just happens to be seals. I have drawn quite a few this year.

I actually had to explain to someone recently that the AI that tells enemies in video games how to react to player inputs is NOT genAI and has existed for literal decades. they genuinely had no idea there was a difference. this shit has poisoned the well so bad.
