Watch the first episode here. Get mind grinded youtu.be/O1D514YuO5k?...

Why every movie trailer, regardless of genre or age demographic, gotta have some dude pounding some epic ass war drums for the soundtrack?

For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts. This you can trust: If a load of laundry is not intended to include socks, socks will find their way inside; and if a load of laundry is sock-inclusive, socks will do their best to evade it.

For those who’ve been asking: I’ll be putting a few AP’s up in my shop tomorrow Keep your eyes peeled👀

Some teaser art for this lean and mean new single from Frozen Soul. Now streaming! Can’t wait to share more art soon🥶

Castles are cool as hell until you have to paint one

I am jobless at the moment.

Got waitlisted for my hometown Magic Con😭 Could be a major bummer but I’m hoping they let me in within the next few months so I can properly prep

Little pic of the dragon proof gang all together

Thanks to all who came out to support the artists at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social last night! 2 of 3 of my pieces sold and sounds many of the fellow @magic.wizards.com artists there did great as well

𝒟𝐼𝒩𝒪𝒮𝒜𝒰𝑅 🦖 19 of 20 token designs I’ve illustrated for my collection! *insert John Williams theme*

Me when I show up to the prerelease event wearing a legit 90s Bolt Thrower Warmaster shirt

Horns up for #portfolioday \m/

Glen Elendra Guardian, AD Jameela Wahlgren. So glad I got a chance to play with the fae of this world. This one is doing a Legolas.

The restrictions of being tasked with painting something somewhat ”realistic” is the bane of my existence. Rule of cool always trumps reality

First new art of 2026 Pleased to share my very first major publisher comic cover for issue #6 of Godzilla:Escape the Deadzone for @IDW publishing ! Out February 11th at a comic shop near you

Congrats to my artists buds who got their art revealed today! Sick that Magic got the Jim Henson co to go all in on puppetry to help promote this set

Tolkien’s birthday 🎂 Figured I’d share what’s probably my most popular piece, The Balrog of Morgoth

Happy 2026! Year of the Horse

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Art v Artist 2025🎨 From big IPs to personal projects, it was a stellar year. Invested way more time in things I wanted to do as opposed to things I had to do. Years of grinding has started to pay off in some creative freedom, and when you get a taste you never want to go back #artvsartist

Watch my 30 second short contribution to Adult Swims Off the Air tomorrow. Its called “Asclepius”

Plant Goddess 🌿 Done in Photoshop

anyone else feeling deeply discouraged and quintessentially bilbo baggins-ish, like butter scraped over too much bread?

My favorite albums and EPs from 2025 Some killer tunes this year! Lemme know some good shit you listened to in 2025👇

Christmas goes awry in Ken Kelly’s cover art for Creepy, issue no. 86, 1977.

Technically not winter yet but y'know

After this and DUNE, I think we’re good on brutalist interpretations of fantastical stories. I appreciate a well executed singular vision. But I think people yearn for some sincere fantasy storytelling that doesn’t look like concrete

My Magic the Gathering cards from 2025🎨 This felt like my big debut year and I’ve worked on soooo many cards since doing these. Thankful for all the new friends and fans I’ve gained in the MtG world this year

A piece from last year, A CHRISTMAS CAROL poster for a charity poster project. wanted a sad, cold, lonely feel. The type is taken from the credits of the old film, as i thought they were lovely and wanted to re-use them! charcoal plus digital painting #art

Average folks casually calling things demonic again Yall gonna make me regress into the insufferable atheist version of myself

My album covers from 2025🎨 (DRAIN, Spirit World, Kreator, Carcosa) Can't wait to share what's in store for 2026!

TFW you get last nights Korean bbq dump out right before the tattoo appointment

Human imperfection and the will to better oneself is a part of creative expression that is vital to the arts and the survival of artists. Folks arguing for AI to replace artists couldn't care less about art itself. They want an easy product w/out the burden of humanity. Evil shit

Artists show us your red art🩸

ME AND @jasonfurie.bsky.social insane boardgame is out now! REALM RUNNERS! SNATCH IT UP! realm-runners.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

The Flayed Man’s Tale~ another concept design for @realgdt.bsky.social incredible FRANKENSTEIN! Always a wonderful collaboration with Guillermo and the amazing Mike Hill, working over in-progress body sculpt pics & trying different head/ jaw designs (originally a screaming skull in early concept)!
