I'm super thrilled that my book "Bloody Mary: A Graphic Biography of Mary Tudor" has been given an honor in the new comic/graphic novel award category from the ALA. 💚 www.ala.org/gncrt/awards... In the category Outstanding Comic Awards for Young Adults, Nonfiction.

With all the A.I. generated imagery out there, I would like to share some of the thoughts that go into a painting created by a human being...

Defenceless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet, dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out wherever the Just Exchange their messages: May I, composed like them Of Eros and of dust, Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame. -W. H. Auden

Discord wants to know how you feel about AI. Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Finished ych for NemeanGold with Zyvah 💚 I love giving artists creative freedom, I do the same when I ask someone to draw my OCs. I really enjoy seeing them through other people's eyes. Do you give strict guidelines or leave room for interpretation? #oc #commission

Hello, it's my birthday so I feel bold enough to suggest; if you'd like to make a small, for-profit game or two together in 2026 please get in touch!

I feel just a little shameless doing this but I saw other people doing it and I gotta learn to promote myself. Hi, I'm Mika and it's my birthday today! If I could have one wish it'd be for you to share my art. No pressure though I already had a banger day. Appreciate you all ❤️

Taking commissions for January, please RT 🧡 If you are interested please contact me via e-mail: [email protected]

🍂La Belle Dame sans Merci🍂 Another new piece I've done within Cynthia Sheppard's smARTschool class 😊 Inspired by John Keats' ballad. #art #juliametzgerart

I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*

This is from last year not this one but I feel like I've been on an upward swing lately so I'm including some stuff from 2024 too. Sometimes I think what I do is frivolous in the face of... everything. But then I look at pieces like this and I remember that's not true.

I can finally show one of my favourite paintings from last year! This was a commission for @illumicrate.bsky.social which was printed on a blanket included in a recent Afterlight box. Auroras are my favourite natural phenomena and i'd love to see them some day, so i'm very glad I got to paint one!

I misread this image so badly that I can only really hope to illustrate what I saw. ( Also a good excuse for an #art study )

another all-time tweet I am constantly thinking about

My art is good — the algorithm just doesn’t see it yet! All #smallartist and #artist pals, drop your recent work below — I’d love to repost it and share the love! 💖

It's my birthday today. And the best gift from you would be to share my art 🥰 Thank you all for sticking with me! 💚

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

will 2026 be the year I get the opportunity to work on a sapphic book art?

My last word on the matter

It's all "AI is the future" and "you can't get the genie back in the bottle" until the public don't like it and then it's "nooo this was handmade by real humans, it has a heart" and you try to fabricate a process that was never there. My dudes, if AI was so great you wouldn't need to lie about it.

Andalusian classics but they are women loving each other. 🌞Based on a painting called 'Cortejo español' by García Ramos.

Me: Cosmic horror does not affect me, I already know I am unimportant, this is not scary to me Me, screaming, sobbing, after seeing a Reaper Leviathan even once: Fish too big, fish too big, aaa, aaa
