I've just posted a fun painting for auction on ebay: it depicts a meeting between Doctor Who & Judge Dredd. Drawn in ink & painted in watercolours (with a few gouache highlights) on cartridge paper mounted on thick card. Picture measures 48 x 33 cm. Starting bid £300. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20531789...

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Commission your friends for art. Give them dollars (this makes them happy) in exchange for drawing you like (this makes you happy). This is symbiosis. This is a healthy ecosystem. Support your friends. Support art. Support your friends' art.

Slightly buried the lede but: if you're a queer couple and you want to get married ASAP in a state with strong protections before Obergefell inevitably gets overturned by fascists I will do an officiate for you for free (if you drop by the shop when I'm here just call/email ahead to make sure I am).

Hello, all. In a time where everything is so much for so many people, I feel guilty asking but my family and I are in need of help. Even if it is a signal boost, any help is appreciated. I love you all, and I hope you are all safe. gofund.me/980022e5

I'm a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas. I've been working through this concept for YEARS and I'm excited to finally have it accomplished. Shout out to @bssterrain for the amazing head sculpts. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #goldengirls

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating without AI have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Finishing up some client work today, and nothing definite in my inbox as yet. So if there's a project you think might benefit from some illustration… let me know. Reasonable rates. Will sometimes accept payment in pies.

Actual pro tip: the best way to break into any creative profession is by helping to support and advance other creators. Your peers are not your adversaries. They are your support group.

Steven T. Seagle, my BFF in comix since 1988, and his family have lost their home in the devastating LA fire. Steve is one of the true innovators of Vertigo; an amazing writer, mentor, and an all-star human being.

What’s the deal with supposed progressives posting Gen AI imagery? You’re using several gallons of water and god knows how much power each time, to make stuff that looks like dead dog ass. And insulting actual artists in the process.

Most of us who love the creative life love the process of making things. That’s where the fun is, because we’re never that happy with the end result. Joy and peace of mind come in the doing. AI is like “here’s a machine that makes you gain weight without cooking or eating. YOU’RE WELCOME.”

I'm just going to say that if you like the work a person does, putting some dollars in their pockets is important right now. AI companies are coming to run everybody they can out of business with a torrent of slop.
