Happy #KidLitArtPostcard to all who celebrate! My name is Zac and I like making art about all kinds of things with a bend towards spooky and fantasy. I'm looking to work with folks but also looking to just make some new art friends! Critique partners! Mentors! People who want to talk about goblins!

The number of nominally progressive folks using generative AI is frankly embarrassing. Using a tool that is expressly built on stolen labor and which is an environmental travesty immediately undermines any kind of cogent argument being made.

Don’t make me tap the sign.

I will support any New York mayoral candidate who admits bodegas are just convenience stores and everywhere in the world has them

Happy Halloween y’all!

I'm sure this is fine. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

You want a machine to make art for you? Why? You might as well ask a machine to eat for you, or fuck for you. Might as well walk into the ocean and let the machine live your life

Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 was published OTD in 1953. “Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.” #booksky 🐡

A new horror I hadn’t even considered.

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard everybody! Have some ghosts and their pumpkin buddy as a little treat.

A very good friend of mine is making a really cool game and if you like very cool games, I bet this would do you well

Tonight I’m dancing to Artlord and the Self Portraits and feeling 19 again (I will not feel 19 in the morning). One time I went to a diner with the members of @future-islands.bsky.social while I was dressed as Batman. What a time to be alive.

From 1969 to 2008 John Margolies photographed the eccentric roadside architecture and ephemera of the US. @librarycongress bought the lot, a total of 11,710 colour slides, and lifted all copyright restrictions on them. Here's our highlights: publicdomainreview.org/collection/j...

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

Workin on a thing. Maybe I’ll replace this cutting mat sometime.. #kidlitart

live your life so that when you die everyone talks about how hot you were and not how you were a hateful bigot

“What if comics paid EVEN LESS?” is my extremely uncharitable assumption abt where this leads

Today, I overheard two friends who were seeing each other for the first time in a while and it was so genuinely delightful. 10/10 you love to see friends reunited.

Hello! #KidLitArtPostcard! A snippet from my archives to welcome the autumnal vibes, although I'm still enjoying late summer blooms and garden tomatoes! angelamatteson.com I’m represented by @jmcgowanbks.bsky.social @bookendsliterary.bsky.social #kidlitart #kidlit #illustration #ChildrensBooks

This. If you ask an artist to quote for a job, we need to know your expectations are up front. Creative work is hard to price because it might just be a straightforward rendering of a client's clear brief at an hourly rate, but if you're looking for IDEAS, how do I assess what it's worth to you?

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.

Trying to keep my painting skills sharp and really lean into the um tiny details

Today is my birthday! Could you, please, share my art, it is the best gift an artist can get 💖

“We’ve given up” is the actual title.

Need to figure out the best way to photograph this guy but he’s done! Really happy with how he came out which is a new and unique feeling and —oh dang, there it went— #kidlitart #illustration #fantasyillustration

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" ok well I asked Gandalf and he said he has not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm

Put off starting this lil guy for a while because I was nervous I’d biff it. Facing fears etc etc. Also it’s hard to want to paint whimsical things right now on account of *waves arms around*

This article is about horrifying things, not least of which is the fact that it opens with an NYT writer enthusiastically using an A.I. to generate focus, characters, and thesis for his next book, because he couldn't think of them Personally, I would fire that person today, but what do I know

They're literally doing the meme

Apparently, it was Christopher Lee's birthday yesterday, so here's Dracula I painted a lifetime ago 🧛

I see soooooooo many great writers putting so much of their time, effort, skill and money squarely in the lap of a really evil and untrustworthy company. Morality questions aside: is it worth planting seeds in THIS soil, in this moment? Does it seem likely to pay off? So many alternatives!

a terrible thing about the last ten or twenty years of comics is seeing how many massive talents are still with us and in poor health, dying young, forever freelancers that gave their physical health to make things that now fuel the biggest blockbusters ever. It’s not right.

I'M GOING TO SCREAM

I made an inspirational greeting card with a spinning Ken Masters. So to all those frustrated out there: "Don't give up because I am... Shoryuken do it!"
