Yesterday I drew the scene in #SunsetChaser that’s been my favourite since I first wrote it 11 years ago.
I couldn’t wait to share it with you 💚

The police are telling us that we need to disperse our peaceful protest of their AI, or else we (even as guests) will be removed from the convention and arrested.
The stand in at the Bell Canada booth is happening right now to protest their AI Photo Booth.

Last year a page of this complexity would have taken me 6ish hours.
Yesterday this clocked in at 3.5 hours, which bodes well for me actually being able to finish this project by the end of the year 😁

Commission I finished last week for @1dhistorian.directioners.social
She asked a few fan artists to draw a boy of their choice in Ghibli style and I was so honoured to be in the mix! Had a lot of fun drawing Niall as Ghibli was a huge inspiration for me.

LinkedIn is bleaker than usual these days with every other post being an AI circle jerk
Being professionally in tech and personally and passionately in the creative arts is… something alright

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist.
We depend on YOU.

Most creatives literally cannot exist without social media support at this stage. There just isn’t another viable option, which is bad for our mental health and long term viability. You literally do have to buy from the artists you enjoy here if you want them to continue making work.

More studio storage & a place for the haunted castle! An essential part of the environment as many of us have kiddos who require diversion while we are comic-ing. Thx @sakasketches.bsky.social for the donation & Kelly Hughes for moving it!
