PRIDE 2026: "Enjoy"

I rather dug this little dude from my fourth PRIDE 2026 illustration so I redrew him and added text for a fun T-shirt design. Available at my @threadless.bsky.social shop. michaeljhildebrand.threadless.com/designs/prid... *50% of all artist proceed go to Victory Fund

PRIDE 2026: "All Eyes On Us"

PRIDE 2026: "The Family Nuclear" Multiple states this year have decided to show their distain for ALL loving families and declare this month "Nuclear Family Month". To nuke the warm embrace of ALL families only shows the petty spitefulness of these elected bigots. Another reason to celebrate PRIDE.

PRIDE 2026: "Fired Up Ready 2 Go"

PRIDE 2026 "Through Pain & Joy"

Protests Work. Designed this last June & thought today would be a great moment to upload it again w/ the additional video of the brutal atrocities being perpetrated by the NJ state police toward protestors at Delaney Hall. Video footage by @statuscoupnews.bsky.social at Delaney Hall May 30th 2026

🚨BREAKING: NJ state police slam anti-ICE protesters with their shields and fire flash bang grenade smack dab in the middle of dense crowd of protesters. WE'RE LIVE ⬇️

So… my instagram has had a ton of MAGAts trolling me lately. My “we’re here to make you safe” illustration is a casualty of this crap. Instagram removed it, I lost my appeal. Please take a moment and see the reason for its removal. ICE has actually pointed guns at kids… MAGA sees this as “sexual”.

Second pose with the lovely Sergio.

This was the third pose with Sergio. Elbie finally stopped barking and tried to get him to play with her this entire pose. Throwing her toy around and trying to lick his toe. My little demon is a mess.

The beautiful & talented Sergio was in town last week and stopped by my place to hang and draw. Truly love conversations with this amazing man. Everything from intense geo-political discussions to giggling about the latest pop song by Charli. This was the first pose.

It’s really frightening.

AI steals from creative human beings, it uses up an incredible amount of precious water. I like to drink water. I like to swim in it. I like to be able to live, so I created this as my way to sound a teeny-tiny alarm in my own way about the dangers of this AI parasite.

Little Black Sketchbook No.14 July 25, 2025-May 12, 2026

This afternoon's coffee-with-Elbie Little Black Sketchbook No.14 drawing. Just feeling helpless as the country we're in is beating us all down and dipshits keep regurgitating "vote! Be sure to vote! Donate to me... and vote!". To quote Cathy, "ACK!" *only one more page left in this sketchbook.

I’ve had my three 8647 designs up for long while. I designed them to protest this admin and shout out for Trump’s removal. I wear them all the time… michaeljhildebrand.threadless.com/designs/8647... michaeljhildebrand.threadless.com/designs/8647... michaeljhildebrand.threadless.com/designs/8647

Rise and grind

Doing a lot of digital drawing this week so took a moment to get my hands dirty with oil pastels and draw this lovely sitting man.

“Decorative rocks” as Terry called them. Three sketchbook drawings of the huge stone masses behind the rental house this weekend. *3rd drawing, black color pencil

I felt like trolling the orange-human-turd after this latest blatantly BS shooting stunt and thought I might as well make it pretty ;-)

More playing with oil pastels to draw this handsome fella.

Are you giving a fuck yet? www.hud.gov/news/hud-no-... “God created two sexes: male and female. The Left’s war on biological reality through radical gender ideology will no longer take precedence over the safety and security of America’s most vulnerable women…” #LGBTQ #gay #queer #trans #lesbian

Last night’s quick sketchbook drawing jotted down while waiting for my take-out sushi, and today’s coffee-with-Elbie afternoon drawing.

Yeah, America isn't a melting pot but rather a salad bowl. Assimilation doesn't mean becoming homogenous, grayed-out, uniformly flavored slop. It means we all can be who we fundamentally are - but in a way that complements and accentuates each other's flavors into a healthy, multi-colored combo.

Decided to play around one more time this morning with the oil pastels since they were already out and about on my desk. I kinda dig how this pretty guy turned out, all sitting and being cute and such.

Have been missing oil painting and somewhere in my melty brain I thought that playing with some oil pastels would satiate that desire... I was wrong, but it was still a lot of fun. Here's the handsome face I drew the oil pastels. First time drawing with them since I was around 22 years old.

Too gorgeous a day to stay inside and stare at a computer screen. Grabbed some brushes, ink, pencils and headed to the park to sketch some big ol’ trees.

Feeling a bit acidic with today's afternoon coffee-with-Elbie sketchbook drawing.

Yesterday's coffee-break sketchbook drawing. Have had a heavy sense of impending doom looming directly in front of us the past week. Trying to be positive in spite of the threat of our president nuking an entire country: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."-trump

Little Black Sketchbook No.14 drawings from this weekend. (Drawn with Elbie on my lap, and a scrumptious coffee in other hand, over at the wonderful Pecks, just around the corner from my place)

Had a wonderful Easter surprise yesterday morning. The brilliant & beautiful @kimdavidsmith.bsky.social stopped by for some sketching, gabbing and a bit of coffee. This man always electrifies a room, shocking all the senses in the best ways possible.

“Oh my god” A Jesus made up of what I actually get on my knees for… #easter #jesus #god #goodfriday
