The works of artists shine the brighter, if anything, for they shine in a darkened world…

I did a thing 😮

Having fun with copics tonight!

This is horrifically disappointing, and frankly shocking that JG would sign up for this. Every new AI 'production' is a steep decline in human artistry.

My heart goes out to all the folks at Disney and Marvel who were affected by these layoffs. It's so frustrating that so many talented folks are considered nothing but numbers to cut, even though they have made these companies a staggering amount of wealth. www.forbes.com/sites/robsal...

My babies! I love how gorgeous they look in your style @iriscompiet.art 🤎💚

Good.

Very tired of everything I use making itself worse and demanding my private information. Goodbye my Nitro sub. I encourage everyone to do the same. Money talks.

Posted this on FB, now posting it here: I want to see fun art. Can everyone do me a favor? Draw something in 2 minutes and comment what you come up with. Good, bad, silly, whatever. I just want to see humans make art and not the pervasive AI slop. Your art will create 1000 times more joy.

What to try your shot at making art for Magic or DnD? Come on down to the Wizards submission portal and submit your portfolio! Us human Art Directors review each and every one of these, so you are guaranteed to get real, actual consideration!

When their eyes light up when you tough on a topic they're passionate about, and they're trying to hold back, but you can sense them about to clip through the floor in excitement with a half-smile. It's all in the glow in their eyes, and it's the best thing.

The BViG Black History Month Showcase is coming soon! We're putting out a call for game trailers, tag a game developer or studio you think would be a great fit for the show!! Submit your trailers before January 29th! tr.ee/UH3LmU #gamedeveloper #gametrailer #BViG

This incredible woman was the subject of an AI alteration by THE WHITE HOUSE. She has been outspoken about ICE and has been an incredible activist. Donate to her legal defense fund here: gofund.me/1a9a69721

This old illustration continues to remain relevant. Going to remake this one.

Thank you for this, ECCC. No caveats, no soft language, direct and to the point.

Keep raising voices about AI, we're being heard!

Getting my Patreon game back up this year. So, hey everyone, I have a Patreon, and I'm kicking off this year by recapping 2025 and previewing new merch for the upcoming con season for paid members! www.patreon.com/posts/year-o...

Finally curated a Starter Pack of fellow ADs! If you want to be added, please let me know in the comments! It's funny how the moment I had to recall all the Art Directors I worked with, my mind immediately goes "You've never met an AD in your life" I TRIED MY BEST, OKAY?

It's out! I'm so proud of this and all the hard work that the Henson studio put into lovingly handcrafting these puppets! And top it off with Eliza Skinner's banger of a song/script! Maybe my favorite project I ever AD'ed for!

I can't wait for people to see this 🥰🥰

Welcome new followers, I see the Twitter exodus brought many of you over here! Happy to have you all! Speaking of Exodus, we just launched our trailer at The Game Awards, as well as Warlock's! The teams worked hard on these, and I helped AD for both of them!

Twelve princesses 👑

Come check out a panel of cuties at #lightboxexpo as we talk about the unconventional ways each of us found our way in our careers, and how we remained flexible and adaptable enough to pivot when things got rough. We'll be around Sunday at 1:15 pm in room 107!

Ah, yes, Rib, the love of my life, only he doesn't know it yet ❤️❤️❤️

tea kettle guys

Damn dawg, almost sounds like the AI industry shouldn't have built itself on theft, then!

I'm really into whatever this guy is. I imagine it to be so massive, that it could blot out the sky.

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

My dear friend Billie has an awesome campaign going right now, go ahead and support this lovely queer K!ckstarter!!

This was insane to witness but I love how our community banded together to remove this garbage from our place of work. Awesome job to the staff for handling this professionally! T'was my best DragonCon yet, thanks everyone for coming out and supporting real artists!!

Another little paint pen sketch of an oramge 🍊

Testing out some acrylic paint markers and drew a lil Eevee!!

Sporecrown Princess. Finished 2 days before GenCon! (I still need to post that I am at GenCon, Art Show Table 19, in the 700 row! Tomorrow's the last day, so come check out the new Princess of the Sporecrown court!

Birch Queen, walker of Autumn, herald of Winter. Had a lot of fun with this one!

One of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE pieces that I've commissioned!! My sign off message in my email sent to Andrew was "Please cook". And boy, did he. This was a joy to art direct from start to finish <3

Always embrace what YOU want to do as an artist. A client could choose never to work with you, drop you, a studio shuts down, etc. At the end of the day, there's only you and your art. Get what YOU want out of it, first and foremost, pursue it with strong intention, everything else often follows.

KEZ KILLED THIS ONE OMG

i almost never like my art on release but.... I'm really proud of this one!!!!! Hope everyone enjoys Lorwyn, it's one of my favorite planes. I got to work on it from concept stage to final art ^^ <3

It was one of the greatest privileges of my life to visit Iran in 2014. It’s the place I wish I could return to most. Stunning natural beauty, deep reverence for artists, and people of profound kindness, wisdom, and warmth. They don’t deserve USrael’s barbaric violence. They never have.

At #Momocon Artist Alley 2222! Two days left at the show!

The completed set of four covers + a cat. #comics #jimhenson

'Dragonfall' - the full piece! I had a ton of fun doing this one, inspired by whalefalls: an event in nature where when a whale dies in the ocean, an entire ecosystem is born of its corpse.

A dear friend of mine is going through tough times, if you have the means, every little bit helps!

Preview of a piece I just finished for the #solara group show here in ATL! I had a ton of fun harnessing watercolor, what a fun medium <3

Congratulations to my dear @miaaraujo.bsky.social for launching her stunning book, 'Afia in the Land of Wonders'! My dearest, we're so proud of you!! Get it everywhere, at your library or local book store!!

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe
