RIP Drew Struzan. So many iconic images. The man's work has been all over so many things I love.

I've been working ahead for Loc-tober as much as I can, and there's one piece later in the month that I've already completed and, everyone, I can't imagine topping it with any of the prompts I have left. I can't wait to show it on the 22nd. #hmloctober #hmloctober2025

Me: "What's so funny about Chuck's Feed and Seed?"
*someone whispers what the joke is in my ear*
Me: Oh. OHHHHHHHHHHHHH...

Every time a porn artist quits because of "porn addiction" I add one more century to my hellish torture of the entire planet under my eventual, tyrannical rule.

Two people standing in front of a large memorial statue at night. The statue is of a giant robot, and the plaque in front of it reads "In Memory of Mech FK47-TP86." Beneath this is an inscription in binary. We translated, the binary reads "He saved the world a lot."

Do you read Sutter Cane? Apparently they're finally releasing his long awaited novel In the Mouth Of Madness, for real. I'm sure that people who understand this post will understand why that might be a problem...
Honestly, the world of the movie might be an improvement over this one at this point.

Kelly Goodman @kellyjanegoodman.bsky.social · 12d

I've worked with this editor. It was a deeply unpleasant experience.

Kelly Goodman @kellyjanegoodman.bsky.social · 12d

Because for me, that's what these challenges are for: helping me improve to be the artist I want to be, in a way that I think is beneficial for me. Everyone else's motivations or goals may vary.

For October I specifically chose an art challenge that would challenge me to practice things l like but rarely draw. Be aware that the scifi/fantasy stuff you're seeing on my feed is quite unlike the nudes/sexuality I usually do.
