I'm an infrequent gamer, but I'm feeling the itch, and looking for recs! I like puzzles, strong artistic statements, and finite gameplay. Not so into games that test speed or dexterity. My top two are probably The Witness and Disco Elysium. I have a PC and a Switch 1. What should I dig into???

They're back Signed and numbered Edition of 100, A3 size Shut Up #illustration #medieval #fantasy

Justice for Chappell and all, but what really gets to me is how he frames this as "protecting his family." Do we really think his daughter felt more "protected" after her private distress became a matter of public debate and the subject of international tabloid headlines?

Hi #PortfolioDay! Here's a brand new tree illustration, and some tree portraits I've drawn in the past. Trees are so confounding! I end up taking a different approach every time I draw one 🌳

Finallyyyyy 😭

An update, and a look at some of what we've coded so far!

I've been saying this for YEARS

Sora had a shorter lifespan than Vine lmao

They were trying and failing to get people to subscribe at $20/mo and each 60 second video was costing the company $15-18 in costs to make. That’s it, everybody, right there. That’s the Economics of AI. Visionary stuff.

That's not the same style, that's just the same colors

The Machinist

In Procreate, is there a way to alpha lock to the layer underneath the one I'm working on? Does that make sense? Like, if I want to draw within the layer shape, but on a different layer?

Happy women's day!

I'm kind of fascinated by this AI blog post that spooked the market. Apparently, "what if AI succeeds and that's bad" is scarier to the market than "what if AI fails." I'm starting to realize these people genuinely, truly believe the spaceship is about to arrive.

Show us your fairy tale art for Tell a Fairy Tale Day! Here's some art from team members @michelerosenthal.com, @kitsnow.bsky.social, and @xanaroker.bsky.social

Reading a book at the end of the world 📗🌋

What's your favorite licensing story? I'll go first. Let me tell you about the fashion brand that licensed my pattern, and the celebrity who wore it.

Some thoughts behind my illustrations for the Love and Other Catastrophes and Go Fish blurays, part 1

Lately I keep wondering how much of the AI bubble is being propped up by fascism. AI can't generate profit? Easy solution: make the military / police / ICE its biggest clients. I don't think we talk enough in general about the economic incentives that fuel fascism.

That's right

Hello art friends, we're back from our social media break! We have so much in store for 2026, including the official launch of our website in the coming months! 🚀 Read our newsletter for more: armadillostock.substack.com/p/2026-the-y...

The Cave

Let's go NYC!

What should I make next?

Debate moderator voice: "Mr. Mamdani, do you think there should be kink at Pride?"

I hate hearing leftists say "the problem is that people are stupid." It's such an ablist take. The problem is that people lack empathy and imagination, and the best way to combat that is through art. Intelligence has nothing to do with it.

Ok hear me out, what if cave paintings depict animals more often than human figures because our ancient ancestors were furries?

What a fantastic ending to our Kickstarter. Thank you to everyone who believes in this project as much as I do! And a special thank you to our marketing team, @xanaroker.bsky.social and @kitsnow.bsky.social, for the work and wisdom that made our grassroots campaign such a success!

I can't stop laughing at "of Cuomo, Adams, and Sliwa, I trust Sliwa's word the most"

*smoking a bowl, gazing up at the stars* I wonder what happened to the Entwives

With less than 48 hours left in our Kickstarter, we'd like to take you on a quick tour of our wireframe!

I refuse to believe we're in a "media literacy crisis" unless someone can point out which period in history had more media literacy than today

I'm so proud of the entire Armadillo team, so grateful for the community support, and so ready to build the best licensing website we can build!

We're so close to our goal!! Help us cross the finish line so we can build an alternative licensing website for illustrators!

The Armadillo Ambassadors are the talented group of artists featured on our site who supported us early on. Thank you @paulheaston.bsky.social, Kendyll Hillegas, @breelundberg.com, @sonnyross.bsky.social, @feanne.bsky.social, @alannaflowers.bsky.social, and @michelerosenthal.com! 2/2

Photo of an artist's photo-reference morgue. A really nice one. Before the Magic Electric Internet, artists & cartoonists had to create their own Google Images, by clipping photos out of magazines and filing them according to topic. I had a morgue until the mid-1990s. Not as good as this one.

Here are answers to a few common questions we've gotten. Let us know what else you'd like to learn about the project. And thank you for helping us reach over 3/4 of our goal, let's keep it going!

This is exactly how I feel about fine art vs commercial art

Thank you so much for supporting a licensing platform for illustrators! We're well over halfway there, and we couldn't be more grateful! #illustration #kickstarter #noai www.kickstarter.com/projects/dia...

It was so wonderful to talk to Julien about @armadillostock.bsky.social, illustration licensing, artist organizing, and more! There's even audio if you prefer listening to reading. Thank you for the opportunity to talk about the things I love!

After one day, we're about 50% funded!!! I'm so proud of the work we've done, and excited to finally share what we've been planning. I hope you'll support us and help spread the word!

The Armadillo Kickstarter is LIVE! Help us launch a community-built, free-to-use platform for licensing human-made art directly from illustrators! Find out more: kickstarter.com/projects/dialmformichele/armadillo-stock

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.

It's finally happening! Our Kickstarter launches next week, so we'll see you there!

These are spreads for McCall's magazine by Andy Virgil, 1959. Each spread was paying about $1,500 at that time. Today that would be between $9,000-$12,000. The average price of a brand new car in 1959 was $2,200.

If you find drawing "deeply unpleasant" then don't do it
