The treatment for my incurable cancer impairs my resistance to germs. It would be nice if the HHS secretary would fight the spread of disease because not all of us can afford to be an insane selfish asshole like him.
RFK Jr: I'm not scared of a germ. I used to snort cocaine off of toilet seats.

BLACK HORROR MONTH ~ Day 10: OMAR BENSON MILLER
Continuing my SINNERS tributes with Omar Benson Miller as Corndog, the sharecropper turned bouncer for one (last) night. His part (after the "break") was genuinely one of the creepier moments in the movie #BlackHorrorMonth #BlackHistoryMonth

Excited to see this revealed!
I got to draw a poster with the FEL REAVER and the DARK PORTAL for @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com BURNING CRUSADE Anniversary! This was so much fun to work on and it made me realize I don’t draw giant robots nearly enough! Here’s hoping to more! @madebymutant.bsky.social
