Rockstar co-founder and former Grand Theft Auto writer Dan Houser has likened AI to mad cow disease, and claimed that humanity is being pulled in a direction “by a certain group of people who maybe aren't fully rounded humans.” https://bit.ly/4pDEfoN

I just had my 3 year old hold me hostage conversationally for about an hour to talk about her current hyperfixation.
I guess I'm proud I was one of the first people she could do that with...?

I've been slowing down and doing some exercises with a friend to work on some of the things I can improve on as an artist. This portrait exercise was to focus on leaving the shadows mostly alone, and to give more information to the transitions between the shadow and the light.

Child over for a playdate with my three year old:
“You’re a kid! 🤣🤣”
Me: “sometimes 😆”
My kid while nodding very seriously: “sometimes.”

It's nice when someone who creates great art is also a genuinely nice person. People talk about illustration being a field where people lift each other up, he's a great example.

I think the painted version of this drawing turned out okay. 👉👈This was done in watercolors, with graphite, gouache and chalk pastel finishing touches.

While I patiently wait for this tariff situation to fix itself, so I can get book two printed, I'll share some art from the Ancient Ones series.

Playtime with 3 year old:

"Ok! Where are we going?"
"Over there! There's a castle! But there's a DRAGON"
"Omg. Nice dragon?"
"No, a mean dragon!"
"Well then. /picks up a stick/ Lets goooo"
"He's in the garden!"
"I mean even dragons need hobbies..."

The common condition of a creative being that the desk you produce work in is a chaotic mess that you'll 'get to later.'

More proof that water colorists are wizards. The more I get comfortable in oils the more I'm like "how the fuck do they do that?"
More than a fascinating process to watch, it's the feeling that flows as seamlessly as the medium. I adore this painting by Rabi Alieva.
