I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Hello! My contract with Stoic will end in August and I will be available for work!
Here issome images to show my professional work over the last few years. They're all the result of a huge effort by a group of people, but I believe I've had a considerable impact on their final look.

Taken from Sam Landman on FB but not sure if he is the artist. Graphic saying AI is for losers, reject fascism think for yourself. I can make Art that’s ugly and bad all by myself thank you very much

Towerborne, the game I've been doing environment art for, had its Game Preview launch on Game Pass yesterday. They gave me the privilege of painting up some alternate key art for it

Not just the rocks and trees even, they let this environment guy draw the folks and hands and faces and everything 💦

Center text: "TOWERBORNE"; Four characters stride towards the viewer. Left to right: A character in barbarian gear wearing a giant skull, carrying two daggers; a character with large barrel-like gauntlets; a character in a helmet carrying a sword and shield; a character in full plate armor, a large metal war club resting on their shoulder. There is a large tower in the distance, half-timbered houses and waterwheels attached to its exterior, a large windmill atop, and a large bell inside the windmill. In the foreground, two small creatures hide among grass, broken/abandoned machinery, and discarded weapons. There's some clouds in a big circle, maybe some trees and hills and whatnot, probably some stuff hidden in there that I forgot about idk, I made this a minute ago.

The same four characters striding towards the viewer. Left to right: A character in barbarian gear wearing a giant skull, carrying two daggers; a character with large barrel-like gauntlets; a character in a helmet carrying a sword and shield; a character in full plate armor, a large metal warclub resting on their shoulder.

The characters, despite taking up much less of the frame than the surrounding environment, are way more complicated than the rocks and trees, on account of being humans with anatomy and facial expressions and whatnot.

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead”

even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

On her first day in the facility, Becky asked for a scrap of paper and a pen, and began to draw the inmates on the table next to her. She was immediately inundated with portrait requests. A Mexican woman called Lopez, who had a photo of her children stored on one of the iPads, told Becky she would buy her some paper and colouring pencils from the commissary if Becky drew her kids. She soon became the dorm’s unofficial artist-in-residence, with women huddling around the dirty mirrors to make themselves look presentable before they sat for her. They would decorate their cells with Becky’s drawings, or send them to their families. Lopez declared herself Becky’s manager. “She kept saying, ‘Becky, you need to ask for stuff in exchange. Ask for popcorn.’ And I’d be like, ‘Lopez, I don’t need anything.’ I thought, I’m here briefly, you’re stuck here a long time. I’m not going to take your food away from you.”

A three by three grid illustrating in blue pen cartoon portraits of women in an ICE detention center. “Mrs Kailey,” Bana, Lewelyn, Ikram, Asil, ‘Auntie,’ ‘F.Z,’ Kseniia, and “P.A.” Two have light hair, three have glasses, one wears a hijab, one poses, and one holds a drink.
