The last time a president and his cronies - including a young J. Edgar Hoover - tried to mass deport Americans they didn't like, the nation stopped them, as I discuss here.

Yearly reminder that inktober and similar month-long-daily-prompt challenges are often unhealthy and lead to burnout!
It's more important that you enjoy making your art than it is to hit every daily item.
Some people can manage it, most can't.
Also the Inktober founder sucks.

Trump did this
The US Administration has decided to destroy a top network for clinical trials to test new treatments for children with brain cancer.
This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.

Hey!
Do you need a highly technical character artist with almost 15 years of individual contributor and leadership experience? Looking for someone to wrangle your shaders? Or perhaps you need a person to assemble your character art pipeline?
That's me!

Andor is a gift. I still can’t believe it got made. Here’s more of my Rogue One concept art - the Occupation of Jedha. Reality continues to be stranger and more cruel than fiction.

Of all the things going on in the world the one I am thinking of right now is how much I dislike that there is a live action remake of How to Train Your Dragon. Brains are weird.

this happened, can't say anything yet; The industry largely sucks right now but many others have survived it so just keep on keepin' on i guess!
Star Wars: Hunters Publisher Shutters Studio Founded by Torchlight, Diablo Creator Before It Could Announce Its New Game - IGN
Zynga has officially shuttered Echtra Games, the development studio behind Torchlight 3, which had been working on an unannounced cross-platform ARPG in the four years since its acquisition.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

not at GDC this year since I don't get back to the bay often. I used to go every year when it was a BART ride to get there. I am a lead character artist working on a game w/ Echtra and here is me spelunking.
