Monster design is one of the purest forms of human expression

All the ai ads during the Olympics, like The Olympics are exciting because they’re the extreme of what a human can achieve and then ads about let the machines do your achievements instead.

I’m going to be tabling at LumaCon tomorrow with my dinosaur zines, art prints, and a new version of The Night-Monster Walks Among Us with this new watercolor cover! See you there?

So glad the couple football games I care about a year turned out how I wanted

Yeah that poor beast was wrong

You drew a great Inuyasha! I drew a crap Inuyasha!

Excellent choice, I went for Jim Woodring this year (his comes with a 13th month)

A day late, as usual, here’s my arts bs artist grid for this year, monster heavy year, featuring some of my own comics and some fanart celebrating monsters and monster makers

Reply with a piece of paleoart that deeply influenced you as a child

I had this John Gurche art up on my wall from a Smithsonian poster.

Being seated at a restaurant next to Al Franken back when he was a senator, him dressed all in Minnesota sweats, and telling his dining companions stories about Clinton and Obama and what it’s like being a guest on The Daily Show. I politely nodded at him and that was the extent of my interaction.

Working off-and-on all this week (including today, BOXING DAY) on the S.R. BISSETTE'S TYRANT® project, crowdfunder to come in January!

Usually we eat at this nice Thai restaurant where the owners know us and are so nice to him and patient and tell me about their lives. But we can’t get in and out in under an hour and I already bought the tickets to the newest Avatar…

Just saying their impatience with his simple questions, doubled with trying to pitch to me that if I spend more for a gift card I actually save money and do I have a loyalty number. It’s all awful.
Shop local, even if you think it will save time before catching a movie

Ordering food at a fast food style sandwich soup shop can be a nightmare of navigating communication and scams. This is true with a special needs adult you intend to pay for or not, but especially with.

The Pacific Science Center is auctioning off their dinosaurs?!??

Movie theaters forever!

It’s all part of a two week Godzilla event in Japantown including a stamp rally and other stuff, you should check it out if you are in the area and like Godzilla

Saw the opening of the “Godzilla Through Our Eyes” exhibit, all local SF artists celebrating 70 years of Godzilla, at the New People Gallery in Japantown SF today!

an older Vincent Price standing behind his young daughter Victoria, who's holding up the tiniest Christmas tree - it's maybe 2 feet high max, and sparse, like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree. the trees behind them in the dirt lot are also pretty small, maybe around 4 or 5 feet. Victoria is blonde with a big red bow in her hair, wearing a red zip-up over a burgundy shirt and red plaid pants. Vincent has a white beard and gray hair, a jacket, and a little navy kerchief/bandana around his neck. the color of the photo is washed out a little, like an old polaroid.

A sketchbook drawing of @realgdt.bsky.social Guillermo del Toro with some of the creatures he’s brought to life in film over the years. I’ve been a big fan of his movies for years and wanted to celebrate him as well as the monsters (and specific cricket)

Here's a dumb clip with @deniscomix.bsky.social and me talking about Conduit (like you do)

May 1995 Superman Comics

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…
