A small oil painting I did of two trees in Winter

The regime is incompetent AND has made terrifyingly major in-roads, exploiting 1) Constitutional flaws, 2) institutional hard right entrenchment, 3) capitalist elite complicity, 4) opposition party ineffectualism, and 5) a favorable (dis)info environment

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

just a collection of "inevitable" multi-billion dollar tech that was going to be the future of everything until everyone in the audience who was supposed to just get on board said "lol no"

Hey, props to writers who got literally anything done this year.

for World AIDS Day, a 1988 cartoon from the Advocate's Gerald Donelan

The greatest comic short story of all time. The original Peanuts strip that inspired the masterpiece. From Detective Comics 500 by Len Wein & Walt Simonson

It’s fun to look at this ai slop nazi propaganda and then remember what these guys actually look like. This isn’t what they (or america) looks like and far from loving america, this is an expression of severe self loathing bsky.app/profile/geof...

Nothin else for it

Gary Larson has put out some new comics!!!!omg!! www.thefarside.com/new-stuff #thefarside #garylarson

Favourite panel I’ve drawn today.

Also, so far I've been mostly lucky enough to have the skills to design and execute my own covers & graphics. The one exception was Common Accord, for which I wanted an old-school sci-fi movie-poster style with character portraits. @angelaguyton.bsky.social did an amazing job bringing them to life 💜

The fact that I can’t immediately tell if a video is AI now actually makes me sick to my stomach. I cannot believe there are people who think this is a good thing

stop trying to make civil war happen

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves. The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

I will not work with companies that use generative AI! I see it in the comic space, makes no sense and I find it incredibly disrespectful to the medium and the creatives that make these beautiful stories. Too many people reach out to collab and I see AI on their socials and websites. 👎

Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

Kana will release Naoki Urasawa and Takashi Nagasaki’s acclaimed thriller "Billy Bat" in English, begining June 2026.

Finished this oil painting today. I’m calling it ‘Morning Hunt’. The Prussian blue I used doesn’t really photograph well but it’s a really amazing, deep blue (I wish you could see it in person!) #oilpainting

saw a sad thread from someone who's grown up believing art depends on "talent," and just wanted to reiterate that ANYONE can make comics, with ANY level of artistic skill, and it's FUN and LIFE AFFIRMING to embrace that experience.

For anyone interested in following me on IG, I made an account recently where I’m going to share my oil painting work. Follow if you’re into that. (This is one of my paintings.) www.instagram.com/aguyton_art?...

The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't. We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

My first attempt at plein air painting went well! This is my back garden. I took my drone back there as a last minute addition. Also, I started a new Instagram account where I’ll post this kind of work. Here’s a link for those that celebrate: www.instagram.com/aguyton_art?... #oilpainting

First loud-mouth of the day. Umbrella Academy: Plan B #3. Digitally hand drawn text with my Boisterous B-Nib Illustrator brushes.

One thing that doing creative work teaches you is that ideas are worth nothing. Anybody can have an idea. In a writers room you have to come up with a hundred ideas a day, and most of those don’t make the page. It’s the work of making something that gives it value. The patina of humanity.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

When you work on a comic you are also working on toning down the perfectionistic side of yours: you'll learn the hard way that not every panel or page will be perfect (especially in the early chapters) or else you'll never get your story done. Your art evolves just like your story!

Life's too short. Be the weird you want to see.

Every so often I remember Shannen Doherty isn’t alive anymore and it feels super weird.
