HELL YEAH!!
Look at what we did TOGETHER! Comic-con has quietly changed their language and will NOT allow GenAi imagery in their art show!
And this happened because you all wrote letters, and shared your concerns! Speaking up works EVERY time!
So congrats friends! We did this together!!!

San Diego Comic-Con will no longer allow AI 'art' to be displayed at their event
"Material created by AI either partially or wholly, is not allowed in the art show"
This follows backlash from artists after SDCC initially indicated AI-generated work would be permitted

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 4, Ep 6 color keys. We’re entering the home stretch and things are getting crazy. I had a lot of fun playing with fire, silhouette, and dramatic dark lighting.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 4, Episode 4 color script paintings. While I felt bad for the dino, it’s a metal-kid’s dream to paint a dinosaur on fire, and of course, the trex faceoff.

Here’s a Jurassic World: Chaos Theory art post to lead into the weekend. This is from the color script for S4, Ep 1. This one ended up as the end-credits screen. A lot of fun painting flying reptiles and clouds.

Another sketch for the spooky season. I saw a creepy set of front steps to a house the other day and thought I would amp up the horror.

Another wrestler sketch popped into my mind. Should I be worried? I imagine she’s a rival to the other wrestler, but where he’s down on his luck, she’s on top of the world.
