CODE 3 is available TODAY on Apple/Amazon/Fandango at Home or wherever you rent or buy your movies. I can’t tell you what to do but in your heart you know what’s right. #code3movie

I've got a couple sets in progress. The updates to the engine are mostly small quality of life updates so don't expect huge changes in that way but I'm really excited about what's coming next for MaxPacks. I'm aiming to have charcoals in the next few months.

A cartoon of myself against a photographed background. I’m approaching a big box from Penguin Random House placed on my dining room table.

I’m now kneeling over the box on the floor on top of a rug in front of my couch, preparing to open the box

I’m now jubilantly hopping around with a copy of my book in my hand, a slightly crazed look on my face.

My cartoon hand holds a copy of Angelica and the Bear Prince, cartoon stars and sparkles around it

I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Tweet from Dan Satterfield Ok, I keep getting asked about how to complain about Kimmel. The best way to complain that will have the biggest impact? See if you have a Sinclair or nexstar station in your area. 2. Watch the local newscast tonight or some time this week. 3. Note the companies that bought tv adverts. 4. Call them and let them know you will boycott them until they quit supporting that media company. Trust me. I worked in tv for 45 years. Nothing you do will have greater impact.

and a retired meteorologist shall lead us

Cancelled Disney+ and Hulu.

Been a busy year, selling my Tesla, boycotting Amazon, Target, Twitter and more. Adapting hasn't been as hard as I expected and it's led to supporting more local businesses as well.

YouTube video by Inkwell DragonCon AI "Artist" Removed by Police

This guy not only took credit from my fellow Lorcana colleagues but also claimed to be an official Disney artist to inflate sales. In reality he has been black listed from the company for years after sketchy behavior.

I have no interest in any TCG but I want this card.

Didn’t care about lorcana until I saw this

Thanks Mario! I had a fun time with it.

And he's the puzzle too! Thanks to @inkbornheroes.lorcana.community for the great preview.

Give it a shot! The gameplay is approachable but deep (and the art is amazing). I think you'll have a lot of fun.

Oooh shiny!

Look at these foil effects!

Haha same. I’ve already resigned myself to never seeing it in person possibly.

Haha he’s a sand illusion for this card.

Powerline World’s Greatest Rock Star
My first Enchanted card is in Lorcana’s Fabled! What an honor to paint the one and only Powerline with a killer costume design by @nicholaskole.bsky.social. Fabled is out 8/29 at your local hobby store!

Max Goof Chart Topper
For Lorcana Fabled, I got to paint a Legendary card of my namesake Max Goof from A Goofy Movie with an amazing costume design from @nicholaskole.bsky.social. Fabled is out 8/29 at your local hobby store!

Ursula Voice Stealer
Lorcana Fabled has some of my best cards yet. Ursula is such an incredible design and it was a blast to try to capture her theatrical attitude mid-song. I’m still pleased with the magic threading between her fingers. Fabled is out 8/29 at your local hobby store!

The Sultan Royal Apparition
I have several cards in Lorcana’s Reign of Jafar set. I’ve always found The Sultan to be one of the great character designs of this Disney era and he was a delight to create for this set. And I got really into painting all the sandy magic.
