This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

'Incomplete'
Taken from my new book of robot art, now funding on Kickstarter - www.kickstarter.com/projects/mat...
But A.I. is a parasite. It attaches itself to a robust learning ecosystem and speeds up some parts of the decision process. The parasite and the host can peacefully coexist as long as the parasite does not starve its host. The political problem with A.I.'s hype is that its most compelling use case is starving the host - fewer teachers, fewer degrees, fewer workers, fewer healthy information environments.
This is something A.I. shares with crypto. They are both parasitic technologies. Crypto can’t exist without the U.S. Dollar and A.I. can’t exist without access to a robust ecosystem of ever expanding human knowledge.

Since The Savage Sword of Conan #8 is fast approaching, I have decided to show my complete spread from the later #11 story to hopefully get you in the mood! I've produced a color version of this which will be available at cons as a print too. 🙂

This piece is clear and damning. When will Republicans in congress find their courage? Why are they unable to speak these obvious truths?

Title: Possible Early Precursors to World Book Day 1. Boktide, 1000ad A grand tournament of literature, culminating with the king choosing one 800k For 'Ethelred's Book Club' and writing a blurb for the cover. 2. Night of Sacrifice, 800ad By the light of the full moon, offerings of overdue books and tiny sums of money were made at shrines to the savage librarian-god Schussh. 3. Day of Banishment, 600ad The weakest member of the tribe was given writing materials, sent into the wilderness and only allowed to return if they wrote a bestselling book.
Happy World Book Day!

"Eerie Statue", painted all the way back in 2015 for the #Hearthstone League of Explorers expansion. I was really happy with the sense of weight and striding forward in this one.

I think there needs to be a full campaign to elevate and celebrate public service and the work that people do on our behalf for the public good. We need to know what Musk's cuts will cost us, and the best way to do that is through story. Public service is beautiful! Let's talk about it!

Here's another old #Hearthstone painting, Aberrant Berserker (the working title was Corrupted Berserker). This is probably one of the most dynamic poses I've ever painted and I was delighted when this ended up as a massive, mural-sized ad on a wall in Australia!
