I visited Iceland 🇮🇸 for a month in 2012 and this question definitely arose several times over. The answer wasn't so complicated after all. Maybe I could have afforded to make art at a younger age instead of coding for a living in my most energetic years 🥲🤷🏻‍♂️

Two kings clashing, one entering adolecence, the other leaving it. That is all I have from these OCs I sketched last saturday. Its been a while since I did a finished piece just for myself and not the comercial portfolio or my graphic novel.

So, an awful amount of my work (like 100% perhaps?) is digital these days. Worst case scenario, my computer goes bust, then my iPad, and then I'd so have to overcome my Undo addiction and go back to analog all the way 🥲 at least I don't need electricity, just ramen bowls 😅🍜

Una para mis colegas españoles (y ojo, que en Latam también soñamos con esto, pero a saber cuando veremos aquí algo parecido) 💸

En el número 75 de la revista @amaniaco.com aparece un cómic mío, en esta ocasión un tributo a nuestras queridas mascotitas chenchas, Borola y Chocolomo, ¡luchando contra la delincuencia desorganizada! Disponible en España a través de la página amaniaco.com y en varias tiendas de cómics.

Happy 💘 Valentine's Day 💘 to you out there (here we try to be inclusive by saying "Day of love and friendship". Soo I made these stickers a while ago but never got around to distribute them yet, might as well share here with you.

Hey, y'all. Medical bills hit us pretty hard this month, we're hoping to sell some comics to help get us through. I'd love it if you bought a few here: www.giantkittenhead.com/comics don't forget to check out the first book of Pictures of You, as well, it's free!

Hazel and I gave a presentation for some senior illustration students at Emily Carr today! Unfortunately I didn't get any photos but I do have this slide from our powerpoint to share with everyone.

So I had to dust off the Discord because my new critique group insists on using that. So It did all its update merry go round and so far hasn't asked me yet for a photo or where do I live. Maybe because I use a VPN with a non-US IP, but can't tell for sure.

I can see the show has its wide share of haters (why, seriously?) but it also amuses me that by the same token most any Gen Z artist I've seen around is either into manga or this drawing style and that's pretty much it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hear a lot of people saying that ai makes art accessible.. well I personally think that's bullshit- so I made this to drive my point home. #regalsart #illustration #fuckai #digitalart

Bluesky is a shielding bubble of comfort indeed. Because reasons, I’ve been returning to FB from time to time and it’s just those horrid eye-aye ”caricatures” all over and hurt artists airing their grievances. I see none of it here. And thank heavens. 🙏 But still, too much isolation concerns me.

Happy Turtle Tuesday you filthy animals 🐢💙❤️🧡💜🍕 #TMNT

¡Nueva tira! ¡Marco se ha caído de la bici! 😨 Si os ha gustado y queréis ver más, dejo la recopilación de tiras debajo. Agradezo mil los RT para que lleguen a más gente ❤

it's my birthday!! read our comic!!!!

@mushisan.bsky.social viver no Brasil (ou latam) é o quê 🥲

Climate change means we're hitting 15 celsius or lower at this time (60 F for you US folks) and that's polar weather for us here -- we're not used to it, nor our homes are fitted to deal with it. Not exactly complaining, I hate sweating, but this is also unsettling in different ways. 🥶🐧

Cada vez que se pone de moda el hacerse una caricatura con IA me imagino que ha de ser porque sus dueños quieren perfeccionar su algoritmo de reconocimiento facial, lo que nunca usarían para fines más allá de una sana diversión, ¡claro está!

Well, even Monet had to have a day, er, night job, so maybe let´s not feel too bad about that 🥲🥔

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

¡Nueva tira de Jenni! Y sí, se ha hecho de esperar. #MisDibujetes www.faneo.es/comics/jenni...

If by “slablets” we mean iPads and the like, i have both kinds. I like the roomy screen of my 24” stationary pen display, but i also love being able to work with the iPad on the backyard when the weather‘s good and not feel ball and chained to a desk.

"A Witch Named Koko" was a comic I did for print and online in 2015 and 2016. Kooky witch misadventures involving Koko and Marl. After over a decade I finally collected all the strips into a book! You can get them on Amazon and Lulu. www.lulu.com/shop/charles... www.amazon.com/dp/B0GJZ6JNLZ

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Today's post is based on a true story! Not the dinosaur, but the appearance of a European Cuckoo bird in New Hampshire this past autumn. I'm open for new book projects mid-year. Rep'd by Sean McCarthy. www.ginaperry.com #kidlit

In all honesty, I want to see what will most of my colleagues still Krazy-glued to Meta do once they start getting _charged_ to stay there and have their work displayed to their audience. I'm already gathering more followers here than I ever did on IG... 🤷🏻‍♂️

PSA: Due to circumstances beyond my control, this month's newsletter due today will be published by next week. In the meantime, you're welcome to subscribe and/or read the archives. Thanks for your understanding. 📬

Here lies Flash, 1996-2026 🪦 Sites like flashmuseum.org attempt to preserve as much Flash-based games and animations as possible, but vast swaths will be lost forever regardless... like tears in the rain 🥲

#mutualaid as I secure rent, any help towards this goal helps!! money has been tight this month from the holidays and unexpected emergency bills </3

I broke in a new sketchbook this week. This feels like a good start! Tombow markers + stabilo aquarellable pencil. #kidlitart

Hi, no idea why so many followers all of a sudden but you're all welcome. Sooo, I'm a Costa Rican 🇨🇷🦥 artist who draws stuff for kids and is looking for agent reps. I'm currently busy with NDA stuff but you can subscribe to my free monthly: newsletter.alzamon.com to see what I'm up to.

Quote skeet a gif with a clue of where you're from

Rejection happens at all levels. Agents reject you. Publishers reject you. Reviewers reject you. Bookstores reject you. Readers reject you. It’s not a matter of if, it’s when. It will hurt. Every time. But every setback makes you stronger for the next one. KEEP GOING.

I’m trying not to work this weekend. LOL But I need all of you to show some love for Punk Taco’s new release next week and smash those repost buttons on all these promo posts I’ve been making. We live in the age of algorithms and without your support, only like 3 people see all of this.

Timeline cleanser: Director of Oscar-winning animated film having (his?) cat watching it and reacting it to.

Everything sold from andiwatson.bigcartel.com is infused with my personal energy (in a good way) for no extra cost

This is your occasional reminder that the only way to become a comic book creator is to go and make a comic. Made a comic? Any comic at all? Congratulations, you're now a comic book creator! Welcome to the club! There are no dues, but we are all thinking about maybe getting some cool jackets.

We made the decision that we’ll pursue radiation treatment for Kona. There really is no “wrong” treatment for osteosarcoma because all of it sucks, it’s incurable even if we did amputation. We’ll take things a day at a time and prioritize her comfort even if it means less time together.

"Dude I'm being paid good money to produce AI assets for my clients, your loser hippie friends can go suck a fat one" This is the kind of crap I get to hear from many local, mercenary design freelancer colleagues. And yes we've all got bills to pay and face a ruthless market, but at what cost. 😑

Know that "back to 2016" trend? Well at least MY 2016 started out awesome — my first time ever at Angoulême's comics festival (there's no festival this year). Got to see a Katsuhiro Otomo masterclass, know Kim Jung Gi in person, and awesome artists Sandro Cleuzo and Alberto Varanda. More in alts.

AI is part of what’s killing adobe but not in this sense. You can’t open Acrobat without it bugging you to use its AI. You can’t toggle it off. Everybody hates that shit. Nobody wants it. This will be the fate of every company trying to force AI

Know what, if this ever makes it to the box office, I'll take it as a sign of the tides finally turning. Having this mouse cursing gringo cats in Chilango dialect is a (however unlikely) wild fantasy of mine. Ahuevo cabrón 🇲🇽

I'd wish #STEAM did pick up more... uh, steam in my hometown, rather than STEM. It's like including the A for Arts in the acronym does rub some people the wrong way — specially politicians and techie dudes (we're in electoral month and this is painfully evident for me).

Yo del auge de la IAGen he aprendido que todo el mundo quiere dibujitos para todo, en todas partes. Lo que no quieren es pagar a quien los hace.

Precisely because we feel we’re heading down to a bottomless doom pit where nothing makes sense anymore, it is time to find joy on the seemingly fleeting, small victories and things of daily life and wonder how these things mostly go right. ☺️ Nice piece by @monteiro.bsky.social
