Life has been so full of big events over the past year that I’ve had a start stop start stop cycle on this piece. I’m so happy to have it right near finish line and in time for a Gen Con debut. Full reveal soon! This is for my book with Eye of Newt, The Summoner’s Guide to the Necronomicon.

Another great year at Origins! Big thanks to: everyone that visited the booth, the staff and the volunteers, the guy that brought me IPAs, and to the vendors that take care of one another. I love that the show is a safe space for everyone. 2027 application has been submitted!

I'm excited to be part of Origins Game Fair again. Come find me at Booth 2610. Keep an eye out for my contribution to this years Pin Bazaar.

Unfortunately I had to cancel C2E2 this year... because we bought a house and will be moving! You never realize how much art stuff you have until you box it up. I'm like a hoarder but in only one category.

I’m transgender, I live in Kansas, if you want to help rn donate to either the ACLU of Kansas or the ACE foundation in Wichita - the ACE foundation especially is the organization that will help people with money for groceries, rent, etc. More orgs also included in attached img acefoundationict.org

I'm realizing I never shared any of the WizKids Pathfinder concept work I did a few years back. These goblins where lots of fun and the sculptors really made them look good. I feel fortunate to have been part of the team.

This weirdo made it into Infected By Art volume 14.

I just had a very positive meeting with my publisher. I'm so excited to be working with them on my dream project. Here are a couple spreads that I'll be working on next. @eyeofnewtbooks.bsky.social

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

I got my Artist Proofs! I'll try and get these up on the site in the next few days. Exciting! #mtg #lorwyneclipsed

Wildgrove Summoner. My newest for Magic the Gathering (Arena). #mtgart #lorwyneclipsed #acrylicart

Making progress on this guy. Chanel the madness however you can. #cthulhu

Ha, I finally got my hands on one of these! I should have APs soon. 😀

I'm only one person, what can I really do? - I'm one more person finding something that I can do! Get in the right mindset. It's going to be a marathon. : )

I’m just block AI art account one after another on here. Gross.

Look at this cute little guy...

Today feels like the tide turned. ❤️ Minneapolis ❤️

If you use Discord and want to tell them how you feel about them adding AI tools, here's a link to the survey. Share it far & wide. Let them know we don't want it. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I didn't post my new MtG cards over here. These are my debut cards. More on the way. Exciting!

I'm feeling grateful and relieved to be back in the Gen Con Art Show! And yes this is my attendee badge from 1998. It was the last year that it was held in Milwaukee. I think I have been at every show in Indianapolis. #GenCon2026 #genconartshow

I missed the Krampus art trend, so here is an Inuit giant steeling a kid instead. For Inhabit Media (2020?)

My iPad Pro was dying so I decided to replace it with one of these, a Huion 24" Kanvas Pro. Arrives tomorrow! Im excited 😀

Old sketch of an adolesent red dragon.

All set up at MFF (table L2-3) in the sweltering heat of Chicago.

When I get back next week, its time to start planning the local artist holiday party. Everyone else gets a weird work party. Why not us self employed art weirdos? 😀

Chris makes stuff into really neat stuff.

I reworked my Moon Beast piece a little, adding some more background details. I think he is done and ready for adventures on his flying ship in the Dreamlands. #lovecraft #cthulhu #weirdart

Ever finsih a painting, sit back and look at it and think, I see what I could have done diferently and then redraw the whole thing so that you can paint it all over again? - Asking for a friend...

As a thanks for all the love and support this year, The Critical Critters are 1/3 0FF through Dec 31st. www.JacobWalkerArt.com

I made something weird. Again. While watching Dispatches From Elsewhere.

I took a break from work stuff this afternoon to paint this guy and binge Stranger Things. #dragonart #acrylic

I finished up this little dragon last night. Back to client stuff today.

I'm excited to get back to working on the Summoner's Guide to the Necronomicon (Eye of Newt Books). I've had so many life interruptions and conventions this year but it's time to get back on track! Cthulhu Fhtagn! #cthulhu

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

I just talked to a game store about doing a mtg prerelease signing for my first to Magic cards. Neat!

The GOP is a hate group. Protect your trans friends. 🏳️‍⚧️ I’ve been wanting to make a pride dragon. I think I’ll start that now and donate proceeds to LGBTQ groups. More on that soon. 👍

This is too good to not have alt text

Im soooo behind on sharing. I painted this guy 5 years ago. Two weeks ago I drove him to Wisconsin to deliver him to his new home. It was bitter sweet but I know he is in good hands and in a wonderful collection. Thanks Kim. Cthulhu is now yours to command. #acrylicpainting #cthulhu #lovecraft

Back from Dragon Con. That ends a 4 month streak of being away from home for shows or estate stuff most days. So much to do here, but I’m happy to be back with my family and have the time to paint again. It was so good to see everyone at Dragon Con. I’m already looking forward to next year.

Dragon Con party in the Marriott

I’ve largely been off socials for the past few months and can’t decide if I want to delete them all or jump back in…

thank you everyone who still makes art despite everything

Gen Con day 1. Lets go!!! Come say hi. Art show table 67 at the end of row 900.

It's Gen Con time! I'll be int he art show at table 67. I'll have new drawings and a couple Critical Critter paintings, and a limited supply of my new puzzle. Come say hi! #gencon2025

This is magical looking.

I'm finding some neat books in my Mom's house. This copy of the Two Towers (from the Harrison High School library, last checked out 1970) had a map tucked away in the back. 😀👍

After 12ish years in our house, we saw our first box turtle. It’s good to know there is turtle business about. I haven’t posted art in ages. Maggie and I are working through my mom’s estate. I hope to paint again later this summer or fall. Till then. It’s turtle time.

Find me at Motor City Comic Con this weekend. #motorsitycomiccon #babydragon #dragon
