First review for 'Fright Factor', which launches tomorrow!

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

A lil commish piece done for x.com/Jael_Emeka

Dream come true today! Getting to meet my favorite author, whom (delightfully!) traumatized me as a child, and gave me the spark to become an artist and create. This is old fanart of the main characters from Animorphs : ) Thanks for everything @kaaauthor.bsky.social ✨

Scalding Tarn.

I’ll post more about this on Monday but yes it’s true, ya girl got to draw the new covers for the relaunch of Animorphs. I am… THE LIZARD KING

Ending the working week with the announcment of Terra Mystica. It's been such an honour to bring a brand new version of this classic to life. @logicfairy.bsky.social has knocked it out of the park with the visuals for us. I can't wait to share more! Check it out here: gamefound.com/en/projects/...

Ending the week with Terra Mystica Special Edition being announced and now out in the wild. Me and the team have been busy working away on this, and well chuffed with it being out there now.

Artist! Quote with your night art! 🌕

Fuck me this is bleak. But please, do continue to use GenAI slop thumbnails for your YouTube videos, or your album art, or your book covers or whatever else. I'll continue to refuse to watch/listen/read any of them, knowing already they're not worth the time & that you're a disappointing lazy hack.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

A Thylacoleo and Her Joey

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of starting this piece live in Atlanta during my painting demo at #DragonCon. It was such a fun experience to work in front of an audience and explore the initial layers of the painting in real time. Thank you to everyone who showed up!⁠ #oilpaintingdemo

I made this during my class with Paul. Tp any artists out there I high recommend! Was an awesome start to my year XD

Highly recommend I made this painting in Paul’s course

Found a new witchy tea shop called the Coven and it sells awesome things like this. So obviously I bought myself one! Its so cute #cyanide #bottle #witch #poison

some data

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

New art! This is Iolanthe and Charlie from my late 2026 release. It's an Inner Universe (connected) standalone enemies to lovers to enemies to ?? She's a pirate captain, he's a pirate hunter. He both stands in her way and is the key to landing the haul of her lifetime. (this is a glazed image)

the icon, the artist, the art 👁️👄👁️

MtG: Yera and Oski, Weaver and Guide Through the Omenpaths AD: Sam Padilla (c) Wizards of the Coast 2025 maybe one of my favourite card illustrations so far of mine. (Now, if only we could have a print version 😅) #art #juliametzgerart

Reminder: if you are worried about AI replacing you as an artist: don’t use AI voices, If you don’t want composing to be handed over to AI: don’t use it to write text. You get the idea. If you value your job: protect others jobs too.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

How do I feel about generative AI? @openai, Altman and his cult of followers, and all the businesses chasing this trend, can get fucked.

This looks fun! Here's my colour wheel 😆 The reds were the trickiest for me, but turns out I love yellow #the_color_wheel #art

This career is wild. I’m supposed to be a merch designer, project manger, social media manager, convention logistics manager, book keeper, R&D, and probably more AND THEN somehow find time to go to the gym, cook healthy food, and have meaningful relationships. I’m tired lol

Yellow? Don't know her. :'D #the_color_wheel

Artists, qrp with your favorite portrait you've drawn! 💕

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

I almost surprised myself with this one: I often feel like repeat the same colours too much - this is a nice spectrum though :D #the_color_wheel #art
