It’s faint, but you can absolutely see the northern lights, or something, in the night sky in South Dallas/Oak Cliff.

With all due respect, FUCK MODERATE CORPORATE DEMOCRATS. Once again they are going to absolutely fuck the middle class. I’m done.

Getting a little vulnerable today over on the Patreon. www.patreon.com/c/artofwarlick

I continue to toil on my greenery despite *gestures at everything*. Here’s the current grow room situation and today’s arugula & herb harvest.

It also goes without saying that I'm opening up commissions, including cover art, inking, and pre-press work. So, if you're a creator looking to hire a pro who meets deadlines, I'm your huckleberry.

Today marks six weeks until my contract runs out and I rejoin the world of the untethered freelancer. I have some plans for what comes after, assuming I can get through the anxiety that has to come first. Anyway, wish me luck.

The Government quadrupling your healthcare costs is Class War. ✌️

A while back @magemastro.bsky.social got me these awesome kicks and today I taught her to railroad laces like a proper skater boi.

Happy International Cat Day from Havok!

Hey night owls, join the newsletter and I’ll send you cool art and merch you can get directly from me, a real human artist! www.artofwarlick.com/newsletter

I hope everyone realizes that ‪@whitehouse-47.bsky.social‬ being here means their culture war bullshit is failing, and they need fresh oxygen for the fire. With Twitter becoming the dead internet-meets clan rally they need to expand their reach, as to expand their trolling as to expand their grift.

Human artists! Use one piece to convince people to follow you.

Sunday vibes.

Round two of trying to detox from META by spending more time here because cold turkey just doesn't work for me. The feeling of being connected to an online art community has been ingrained in me since the early DeviantArt days and I will never forgive these tech bros for ruining it.

Would you hire this guy? I've really missed working on my own stuff, like this landing page redesign I'm currently churning through.

My big original art drop is on now! The collection includes over 60 sketch cards, some priced as low as $10, album art, book covers and several personal works that have never been available. jonathanlamantia.com

I take a week’s vacation and come back to this? What the actual fuck? Did BlueSky turn fasc while I was away?

TGIF.

Political violence is, statistically, a product of the Right. Just, like, FYI. For no particular reason.

It's been a minute. I've been very, very busy. With life. With work. With... whatever the hell is happening in politics. But part of that busyness was saving our garden cat. Jabba's 4th and final upload is live. youtu.be/oAf_wCaNOek

The Dead Internet isn't a theory anymore.

Happy Birthday to my gorgeous goth girlie @magemastro.bsky.social 🎉 I remain the luckiest man alive to have someone so wonderful, beautiful, and kind in my life. #WorksOfArt

New do, who this? ✂️

Oh hey, I did some X-Files cards. You can check them out at my (free) Patreon - patreon.com/artofwarlick

I know I haven't been posting much art lately but there's a good reason for that. We've been quietly building something new...

Batman and Robin: Year One original cover art by Rebekah Isaacs. Gorgeous. #comics #art

Jabba update!

Superman was great. Themes of altruism, found family, immigrants choosing their own destiny, and empathy over envy. No wonder the Right hates it.

I made a playlist for you. It's just Deftones and Radiohead. You're welcome.

Everyone is Superman, Superman is everyone.⁠ ⁠ A portrait of my bro-in-law as The Man of Steel from 2015.⁠ ⁠ #Superman #ImmigrantStory

For this Whitewall cover I wanted to swing for the fences with some really creepy monster designs. Horror definitely isn't my main strength, but its fun to try to figure out what's unsettling and why - both to use that feeling for story pressure, or to defang it. Three issues up on P A T R E O N!

Big updates on Jabba coming in my next video. In the meantime any attention you can give to his recovery would be much appreciated. www.gofundme.com/jabba-the-ga...

Sometimes I just want to give up. Sometimes I think "I can't be THIS bad at communicating and being a human" and then I realize that it's pretty much always been this way and it's probably my own fault.

I lowkey love that I have a hater on YouTube who goes out of their way to thumbs down any post I make. I must be doing something right.

TFW you wake up at 7am to hand-feed a cat wet food sprinkled with pain meds and antibiotics so he doesn't die from sepsis.

Help us help Jabba.

Check out this art haul the fam got me for my birfday!

Me, immanentizing the eschaton every morning.

Been too busy with work and the state of the world to post much lately. So, like… how’s it going?

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Even when you edit the videos down they still don't work. 97MB is < 100MB last I checked. 🤷‍♂️

Just have to say it out loud: This whole under 3 minutes + under 100MB video restriction is a big reason this place won't grow faster.

Proud to share that I’ll have an original illustration featured in The Crow Artbook, published by @printedinblood.bsky.social in celebration of the film’s 30th anniversary. I’ll post more when pre-orders go live. Full reveal later this year. #TheCrow #Artbook #PrintedInBlood

Where my psychonauts at?

Just a friendly reminder that it’s okay to be so busy actually doing stuff that you don’t have time for social media. The reminder is for me.

Working on that garden content you love so much. New video is up on my YT if you're into that sort of thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG2D...

Finally back to working on stuff I can show publicly!

Left all the war footage Reddits. Unfollowed tit-bait accounts. Closed down my Twitter. Unfollowed all the RESIST accounts. Installed a router-based ad blocker. Unfriended folks who only traffic in drama. I listen to more music. I spend more time creating (and growing things). I touch grass daily.
