That piece is wonderful, I love your illustration style!

A boy is holding a bright star and being held up by a bear to put the star on a sad little tiny tree. A girl is giggling in the bottom corner at a fox who is tangled up in the christmas lights. The text reads “Tori Kate - represented by Analía Cabello at ABLA - torikateillustration.com”

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too.

We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

This was a blast to work on, big thanks to Robert for letting me play with his characters.

The book's also an absolute steal of a deal on Itch!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

A pumpkin patch in a variety of shapes and colours, some with carved faces with different expressions. Between the pumpkins are black and white cats, crows, frogs, bushes, twigs and mushrooms.

I've been waiting all year to repost this 🎃

A painting of Donald Duck opening his door on Halloween to find Huey, Dewey, and Louie, dressed as a ghost, a witch, and a devil, along with Witch Hazel and various monsters.

Sharing this again because despite all of the horrors, you are not alone. MILLIONS of people around the country are standing up and saying NO, and you can join them.

a cartoon drawing of the retro old dutch chip flavour mascots. all-dressed is kneeling on the ground, eyes half-closed in ecstasy. sour cream is kneeling in front of him and sucking him off while green onion fucks him from behind. onion is also pulling his own hair for a little bit of extra umf. salt, vinegar, and ketchup are all jerking off and jizzing on all-dressed. all are having a fantastic time. good for them.

i’m so sorry you had to find out this way but all-dressed chips are just chip bukkake

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

KEEP DRAWING!

Most of the issues with the tech industry right now stem from the fact that these people were raised on a steady diet of tech exceptionalism and were trained to believe that art doesn't matter because it's not fundamentally about driving capitalism a little further.

Here's a few of the FULL TILT wraparound sketch covers I did for the sketch cover version of the ashcan I made for the book. I have a whole book of the sketch covers I did up at the link below.

The joy I get from making a comic is generated by the actual acts of physically writing and drawing the book. Handing any aspect of that over to anything else deprives me of all the joy.

Designed some simple stands in Blender for my two original M.A.S.K. figures, and then 3d printed them. Nothing fancy, but I think it works nicely.

A cover of criss-cross patterns of arbitrarily-shaped blocks of colour or white. In the white blocks we can see The Martian, in its multicoloured weirdness. Occupying the same space, but in the white blocks, is detective John Jones

We’ve been cleared to share it, so we can say we did a variant cover for Absolute Martian Manhunter 7, dropping December 24! The book slaps, we were delighted to be asked to contribute.

@denizcamp.bsky.social and @javierrodriguez.bsky.social really have something special with this book.

look you can allow art that grosses you out to exist or you can be a fascist.

"But surely there can be an exception for--" nope. exceptions mean you're a fascist.

"But--" NOPE. fascist.

The upcoming proposed rules surrounding NSFW art are bad and the Bsky mod team should feel bad.

Fellow artists: Remember that even if you don't make NSFW art, rules like these eventually come back to bite us all, especially if we make works about queerness.

These are all so great, but I especially love that '66 movie poster!

It's Batman Day! This character has been my north star since I was 5 and he will continue to be the north star until I'm in the ground. I started drawing because of Batman and I am the artist I am because of Batman. His world and his many iterations will always inspire me to create.
