Hello new bsky pals! Nice to meet you.
I work in various media and draw various things, but most of you probably know me from my work for MtG.
Welcome to the next platform. Be kind.

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one.

My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

'Stoat and Rooster'
Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, approximately 132 × 85 mm.

This original artwork and two older pieces are in this month's @changelingart.bsky.social auction, ending Friday 14th November, 12pm EST.

www.facebook.com/share/p/19En...
Silhouette drawing primarily in black ink of a stoat in combat with a rooster on a patch of wild grasses. The animals face each other; the stoat, at left, is in motion with its hindquarters off the ground and its head tilted up towards the rooster opposite, who leaps into the air, hackles raised, kicking its feet outwards. The rooster's comb and wattle are the only touch of red gouache.

Days off from my daytime job means making some progress on whatever is on my easel.
As per usual, Piu is making sure everything is in due order.

this is such a fantastic example of the transformative power of design when used collaboratively and intelligently. the visual design of this campaign is deep-rooted in history and culture and is thoughtful and beautiful

Detail of "Midwinter Star" a personal watercolor of mine that may be in the #Changeling "Deck the Halls" auction next week.

Experience teaches that it's not smart to offer art that's too big to fit in a USPS Priority mailer, and yet I contemplate...

New awareness campaign
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

I realize we live in a time of many crises, but I still sell art by mail and I offer this screen cap from PirateShip(dot)com to explain why I want the USPS to stay un-privatized...
"Switch to UPS for $24.05 more"
Screencap of a postage buying screen. I can either ship by USPS for $5.24 (down from $8.80) or I can SwItCh To ***UPS*** for $24.05 MoRe! (screwed up font mine, sorry, I was in the grip of strong emotions.)
