My #Dune original drawings are up for grabs. I enjoyed creating them all, including "Paul's Dream / What's in the Box?"
16”x20”. 20"x24" w/ matte. Graphite on Strathmore.
If you see one you want, LMK. It's the holidays, so I might wiggle on numbers for friends. ;) johnpicacio.com/product-cate...

A while back we spotted this gorgeous anchor painting by Valorie Nichols @meadowdays.bsky.social
It screamed “Rhode Island!” So we had to have it. Valorie is multi-talented and a lovely person to do business with.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

This is an excellent book that I recommend to people all the time. Get yourself the new edition.
Just want to point out that "Indigenous Writes: A Guide to First Nations, Métis & Inuit Issues in Canada" has a new edition coming out in the spring of 2026 with a much expanded exploration of administrative definitions of Indigenous folks (and more).

Since started this Ko-fi goal, I got an influx of donations from fake email accts, which means I can't use the funds until paypal resolves it. I'm pretty bummed considering this was for a food bank.
If anyone feels like donating via venmo, I'll send 100% to the food bank this afternoon. Link in bio
