Behold, a beholder! Spending my artist residency weekend at Sou'wester (Long Beach, WA) teaching myself to paint with guache. Never have before (haven't even done much watercolor since I was a lad either and this has similarities), but it's fun! #beholder #cacodemon #guache #watercolor #painting

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

First Friday Artist Spotlight returns for a group show including four very talented, metal-adjacent, artists on Friday, June 6th from 6pm – 9pm… and the first one we’re looking at is Gabriel Danilchik!

The great Stephen Fabian is one of those artists from the 2E era of AD&D that just doesn’t get enough credit or attention. His interior illustrations in the Ravenloft line and Tome of Magic especially stand out. Pitch perfect aesthetic… and what an amazing talent. Pure 💯.

I’m beginning to understand how just the act of making art in these times is an act of rebellion, no matter what kind of art it may be. They don’t want you to make pretty things that shift people’s focus away or make them think differently. They want you to give up and submit. Fuck that. Make art.
