Went ahead and made a starter pack of Iranian/Persian artists I know who deserve all the love and support now more than ever. Let me know if I missed anyone and I’ll add them go.bsky.app/LHbyaKpv

Oldies 💪👹🏰💀

I’ve been power lifting lately to help strengthen my back, and so far I’ve squatted 100lbs, benched 95lbs, and deadlifted 100lbs.

Wild to think half a year ago I needed a cane to help me walk around, and now I’m on my way to being able to lift a friend above my head 💪🏼

The logo I made for the amazing @lunarpunk.games is out! Go check out their event!!

So thrilled to see it out in the wild!!

I'm coming to TCAF June 7 & 8, table #062b (2nd floor)

I’m tabling at TCAF this weekend!!

Stop by & say hi, I’ll be at table 062b on the second floor!

I’ll have copies of The History of Everything as well as prints, stickers & some originals.

colorful key splash art for Project Dragon- a group of adventurers (a musical ocarina golem, a rider mounted on a wyvern, a dimunutive cat person and a pet pinoceros) crest a hill over a sun-drenched landscape with billowing clouds and distant ruins. In the sky above, a character composed of constellations spreads their 6 arms and welcomes them to the world.

Just before things started to nosedive on twitter, I posted a thread that walked through the massive body of work I did over the last three years (on an inspiring team) on the cancelled Project Dragon aka Everhaven.
For posterity I reckon I'll repost that thread, piece by piece, over here ✨

If there’s one thing we all know about Godzilla, it’s that he loves a little rubber duck friend! 💕

Just wrapped up my next Pyrography project, this time as a special request/gift for my husband @thatguychalmers.bsky.social !

An open sketchbook page next to a few art supplies. There are 3 sea critters illustrated ontop of blue bubbles. There is a large eel, an orca and a moorfish.

4 panel comic: Panel 1: forg is drawing. There’s some extra pencils and some coffee on his desk. He says “all I can do..” Panel 2: he is now doing work on his computer. Looks like he completed some drawings. He continues “..is my best” Panel 3: he is now making some food in the kitchen, wielding a pan and wearing a tiny chefs hat. He continues talking to himself “..and my best..” Panel 4: at the end of his long cozy day he’s in bed, and finishes his sentence “.. will do”

A little motivation

A painting of a grey and white pit bull carrying a big cherry blossom branch as they walk down a sidewalk. There's a street with a bus driving by on the left, and a red brick bookstore on the right. Green foliage is peaking in from the top right corner, signaling it may soon be summer.

Heading into summer. 🌸🍃

An illustration of a toy package. The wording on the left says “starter pack”, in the center is a logo saying “Sun & Hon” with a flamingo icon, and the right shows a badge with AI crossed out and the words “not now, not ever” around it. The section below depicts a drawing of the artist on the left, and to her right is an iPad and pencil, a fish bag, two hermit crabs, a mug of tea, and two dogs.

Late to the party but better late than never! Here is my #noaistarterpack ! I keep seeing these going around even still, so I wanted to flex my drawing skills and make a version of it myself 💕

A siamese mix cat at a desk dialing a number on a smart phone. He has a blank look. On the desk are various cat toys (spring, mousey, chew stick) mixed with writing tools. The bg is a bright yellow.

A more zoomed out view of the cat yelling loudly into the phone. The bg is bright red, and filled with the text "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" in white block lettering. On the desk now you can see some ink bottle, a quill pen, post it with an exclamation point, and papers.

Call your reps!! 📣

An illustration of Steve and Blue from Blues Clues. Blue and Steve are sitting on the thinking chair in the middle talking to each other. The border is filled with characters from Steve’s time on the show such as Shovel, Pail, Mr. Salt, Mrs. Pepper, Turquoise, and Magenta. The words at the top center say “We can do anything” and the words at the bottom center say “That we wanna do”.

I got to meet @steveburnsalive.bsky.social this past weekend at Awesome Con, so I made him some fanart to thank him for so many years of joy! Blues Clues helped make me an illustrator, and I’ll always be thankful for that 💕

If you live in Maryland, and want some stickers to post around. You're also welcome to take the art and use as you will, with my full permission.

Hieroglyphics with translation texts below them that reads I made my body evolve through my own effectiveness. I am the one who made me. I built myself as I wished, according to my heart.

Just reminded myself how hard the ending of Coffin Text Spell 714 goes

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard day!

My wife and I made a book that, thanks to Abrams, hits shelves this fall! Check out the full illustration and more of my work at my newly refreshed site: tom-booth.com

And please consider preordering our book so we can feed our actual baby. Thanks everyone! -Tom

A bust of a large woman with green hair poking out of the water. Her shirt acts as a rock where a harbor seal and starfish are sitting on her. A tree protrudes from the right side. Clouds move behind her head. A harbor seal is poking his head out of the water, and they are staring at each other smiling.

A year ago I had the incredible opportunity to go explore the Olympic National Park in Washington. My mom and I explored tide pools and found huge purple and orange starfish at Beach 4, which inspired this piece 💕

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Dimensions | Database of Dimensioned Drawings A comprehensive reference database of dimensioned drawings documenting the standard measurements and sizes of the everyday objects and spaces that make up our world.

Last night, I stumbled onto this reference website that I'd never heard of before, and am blown away by its quality. Highly, highly recommended. www.dimensions.com
