We now have five extra members in our D&D party (including our old centaur buddy). We're fighting what I hope is the last of the minotaurs. Our centaur revealed the final boss to us by leaping up at a bird casting freezing spells on us, and squashing it, causing it to change shape.

This, by the way, is why you should never RSVP to a protest that wants your name & address.

STORMWARNING (2022) Acrylic - 11" x 14" What I saw in the accidental marks that inspired this piece was independent of color, more an idea that could be realized using almost any color scheme. 1/2

Oh god, you know who would have been amazing to play dnd with? friggin, Vincent Price. can you imagine him chewing the miniature scenery

The best part about this is the fact that it’s in Kalama, WA, to me

I strongly oppose Israel’s attacks against Iran and Iran’s attacks against Israel. Both endanger civilians and risk all-out war. If you’re like my opponents and only condemning one side, I hope you find a spine and some moral clarity.

The nice, chill part before the next adventure starts

Yelling “what’s your name???” at people getting arrested for a violation while surrounded by cameras is a great way to dox them.

LLANA OF GATHOL (1979) Acrylic - 24" x 32" Since I did the eleven Martial Tales books over the course of a year, as time went on some things became less important. This time we did not worry about the title of the book, and Llana herself does not even appear in my painting. 1/4

Happy holidays!

I went to a live show for Cinematic Titanic (a spiritual successor for MST3K, for those who don’t know) and shook hands and got my picture taken with Joel Hodgson. Still the best night of my life.

Today's repost: Her Lover's Lair, painted in CSP using Wes Gardner's brushes. I think this was the first time I used those brushes, in fact, back in March '22. Sketches and alternative version in replies! #art, #gothic, #pulp, #horror, #DarkArt

I've fact-checked this fake image of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein multiple times in the last couple of years and it keeps getting posted again and again. The image is AI-generated. It's not real.

#artvsartist mid-2025 🗡️ There seems to be a running theme here. I had to cheat with a couple older drawings because of NDAs, but sudden and unexpected unemployment should bring some new personal pieces this year 😬

THE ULTIMATE SANDBOX (1984) Acrylic on Canvas - 15" x 24" A whimsical portrait of my daughter Alexa that remains one of my all-time most popular images—and a personal favorite! 1/2

So… I showed the first Spaceballs to a friend of mine who’s obsessed with Star Wars, thinking she’d like it. She seemed downright offended by what we were watching. I look forward to her reaction to this.

Painted a weird little guy. I still flounder every time I break out the paint, but this felt like I learned some things.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

We should keep our foot on Gavin’s neck about all his bad governing but I will also enjoy him talking to republicans the way all democrat politicians should

Because the next couple days are gonna be confusing for everyone, here's a reminder that you do not ever have to "hand it to" any of the following guys: Elon Musk Donald Trump JD Vance RFK jr Stephen Miller

FLIGHT TO MADNESS (2024) Acrylic - 12” x 9” This began as a study for AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, exploring the cubic structures on the mountains as described by H.P. Lovecraft. 1/3

Just a few more fantasy comic fans is all it will take… www.kickstarter.com/projects/dir...

But like this wasn't some disagreement over a policy. You said you both had evidence and knew the guy was a child rapist when you made him President

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I couldn't NOT do this.

Trump shoulda been arrested 1/21/2021

Cape Lifehack: In mosquito country a cape is GREAT at keeping them off without chemicals. Just don’t stand completely still — sway a bit to keep it swishing around your ankles. Spoken as someone who is a living mosquito magnet who got invited to an outdoor lakefront party one summer evening.
