Hello #portfolioday, I'm Knack Whittle and I'm actively looking for work!
I recently finished my time with the NYT Bestselling series Sweet Valley Twins, and I'd love to work on other IP (the spookier the better) or any of my original pitches!

"actually his stuff was very Derivative and not Original" like, you don't have to do this. it is good for us all to sit with the cognitive dissonance that a very bad person can make very good art. it is good for us to work through the moral ramifications of that.

one thing that would be cool, when prominent creators turn out to be terrible people, would be if we didn't have to go through this performative dance of insisting that their work was never good in the first place.

Stream schedule for the week! Solo voicing DELTARUNE CHAPTER 1 on Tuesday, and also...I dunno...getting groceries with Illya or something on Friday. I'm sure nothing bad will happen.

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Little truth for y’all: A big part of shooting your shot is knowing when and where to shoot it, and when and where not to. Reading the room, knowing the space you’re in and what’s going on there is critical.

Considering taking a commission or two of wood burning / pyrography, be that of dnd characters, OCs, whatever you fancy, starting at $150 maybe (including shipping)?

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

having the accreditation of "NYT Bestselling Illustrator" is very weird to have bc all my life seeing people with that moniker i thought surely they must be rich or at least well off, but here i am negotiating payment plans w my loan companies and having a negative bank account balance

We are one week away and 25 folks away from hitting FIVE HUNDRED EARLY SIGN-UPS which feels absolutely absurd and also an achievable number I would love to hit because that number will scratch my little goblin brain
A little early gift for all of you...

SINK YOUR TEETH IN #1. A sapphic vampire noir following Corsica Smith, a disgraced Chicago PI working for scraps, who finds herself embroiled in a dangerous conspiracy.
