There should be way more comics about adults doing adult things. Most people are adults.

sigh imagine making art that matters bro

You can tell Charlie Kirk was beloved because it requires the full force of the American government and law enforcement to force the people to mourn his passing.

An image of the Swordfish II spaceship from Cowboy Bebop. The Swordfish is flying in orbit above the Earth with "Swordfish II" written behind the ship in the style of a 1960's car advertisement.

My take on something like a 60's American car ad or 80's Italian sportscar poster, but for Kimitoshi Yamane's PERFECT Swordfish II design from Cowboy Bebop.

so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining

drawing some things

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.

These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

sadly I’ve been exposed to AI pitch decks. “Draw like this, monkey” they scream from washed out “faces” and hollow copy. I’m an asshole when it counts so I reject it with my whole chest, but there’s no surprise AI is popular with the laziest group of people: the managerial class

lol THIS IS VIOLENCE

‘Barefoot in The Park’ is a favorite for Me. Great Actor

When Aria hurts her shoulder, she's left feeling frustrated that she is letting her taekwondo team down right before a big tournament. Master Areeno encourages her to look past her injury to consider how she can still support her teammates. Will Aria put her disappointment aside for the sake of her team?

Noah can't believe his luck. He has won a trip to a movie premiere where he will get to meet the actor who inspired his interest in taekwondo. But when Noah and his friends attend the party, his hero is rude to them. Now Noah isn't sure how to feel about taekwondo. Will Noah walk away from martial arts for good?

When a new kid named Julian joins the dojang, Ezra's friends are focused on making the new student feels welcome. They miss Ezra's latest accomplishment: breaking three boards. Feeling jealous, Ezra thoughtlessly dares Julian to try a skill that is beyond Julian's ability. Will Julian's first class at the dojang be his last?

Ezra is a busy, active kid. In addition to his taekwondo lessons at the dojang, he is in baseball, swimming, and a couple of clubs. But it's getting to be too much! Can his friends help him stay organized so he can keep up with all the things he loves? Or is he stuck feeling stressed?

My latest hi-lo reader series for kids, TAEKWONDO ACADEMY, featuring the art of Alexandra Pulga, can be ordered wherever books are sold!

In the Dojang (where students train), readers will meet Noah, Olivia, Ezra, Aria, and Julian. 😊

Everybody has to self-promote now. Nobody wants to. So you want to be an artist. Do you have to start a TikTok?

A dark purple morning glory with a vivid pink center which seems to glow.

Shit’s awful but the morning glories are starting to colonize the dying tomato plants, metaphoric something-something, hope in the darkness.

I'm big tabling again (for a little bit). Come get some nice printed material, all made by me.
