The most beautiful book I own - probably - is The Iron Giant by Ted Hughes, a 1968 hardback. I think reading things like this as a child ‘does things’ to a person.

No new projects so far - so please keep me in mind when you're staffing your new series! I can be requested via your WFH editor, or reach out to me if you're developing a creator owned book!

I would love to do a comic book cover, book cover, disc cover anything. To help cover the medical expenses with my cat.

Here's a small portion of an animated bumper I made to promote a video game from @owlcatgames.bsky.social (Blind Descent). Seeing the latest advances in generative AI and how they've invaded space, I feel lucky to have at least produced this little piece from start to finish 🥲.

Creatives who use AI to replace the work of other creatives are class traitors without souls. You are not entitled to have things just because you want them, especially when those things you want put other people in the poorhouse. I'd rather die.

A parade of funny little animals wearing big paper-mache masks, there's a swallow flying over them. A white and blue kitten dressed as a dragon smiles at the reader. The title says "Segavecchia, Cotignola, 2026, 575esima Ed." in white letters.

I was asked to draw the cover for my hometown's magazine commemorating the Segavecchia festival, a celebration of Spring of likely pagan origins held yearly halfway through Lent, and codified in the 1450s.

Pero Luis, que gracias a las herramientas del futuro estan creando un universo cinematografico😆, yo tengo mutuals que los siguen a ellos pero a la pagina esta no. Y eso si, en sus cuentas personales cuando postean esta mierda no dicen que es IA, así que quizá hay gente que le da al follow sin leer

After 22 years as a letterer, I now only have enough regular lettering work to keep me busy for 2 days per week. So if you’re staffing a new project, please keep me in mind as your letterer! Or request me via your editor! Recent clients include DC, Marvel, BOOM, Dark Horse, 2000AD, etc.
Thank you 🙏🏻

BREAKING: As the Super Bowl gets ready to kick off in Las Vegas, someone just protected this video onto a building there!

It’s the “P-do Bowl” featuring the men who are in the Epstein files the most.

Hint: Donald Trump, Howard Lutnick and Steve Bannon are the all-stars of this game.

There Is No Safe Word How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

apropos of nothing in particular, @lilashapiro.bsky.social gave us a tremendous piece of journalism last year, and it's always a great time to revisit it and thank her for the work she did in bringing these stories to light.

La democratización del arte no va de que cualquiera sin ganas de invertir el tiempo y el esfuerzo que supone ser artista le pida a una máquina que regurgite cualquier bazofia con una prompt perezosa.

CGT rechaza el intento de modificación del Estatuto del Artista que permite el uso de Inteligencia Artificial para generar contenidos.
El Ministerio de Cultura ha presentado un nuevo intento de modificación del Estatuto del Artista -a través de un Real Decreto- que, mediante el artículo 13, permite el uso de la IA generativa en el contrato artístico para generar contenidos. Se trata de una modificación rechazada por la comunidad artística, así como la plataforma ‘Arte Es Ética’ y FEGAP de la CGT.

Somos trabajadores de la cultura y nunca se nos consultó sobre esto. Y así como nosotros, muchísimas asociaciones y federaciones de TRABAJADORES de las artes y la cultura han quedado fuera de estas mesas de trabajo. RECHAZAMOS el uso de IA generativa en el sector cultural.

"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any.

The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.
