Another day at Bluesky, and it looks like growth is not slowing down! Welcome! We’d like to take a moment to share our stance on AI and user data:

Good Morning, Bluesky. My name is Mike Toney, a creative director, #illustrator and author. I've created three books focused on #blackcharacters and telling #blackstories.

Preliminary sketches of my one-shot Stone Prison! The completed store is available on my link tree.

Edinburgh, Scotland — bringing the goth vibes. I love that city.

The Render did match the sketch's energy. For the last few months I've been in a render rut. My sketches have been way better than the finished product.

This show is my first storyboarding gig I can't wait for it to drop. I learned a lot from some really cool people over the course of this project.

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. How fitting that he predicted the current state of our country almost 30 years ago. Worth reading. Happy Birthday, Carl. We miss you. 💙
