2d rough animation of a girl arguing with her friend. she's obviously frustrated and its bleeding into anger. storyboards from a sequence about two best friends getting into a spat over entering the carnival funhouse before opening. done in photoshop. black and white illustration of a woman in an intricate Victorian style dress holding her own head on a platter. Behind her are a bunch of picture frames with botanical drawings. All depth is created through lines inspired by stained glass and topographic maps. four page spread from my comic 'Little Red Heart' about a monster hunter struggling to come to terms with the fact that the woman she's in love with is a werewolf. The pages are of a woman in a cloak walking through the woods and approached a lone cabin that has been trashed inside.

ICE $170B
McDonald’s $150M
White House Reno $200M
Tariff embezzlement $3 Trillion
Orange foundation $150M
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my country is dying

Oh, so he totally stole the money
The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The “unwind” in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a “drubbing.” That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

If you ever wonder why your artist friend is so pissed off whenever they see AI slop used instead of real, human-created art, it's exactly what you think:

How is AI *really* impacting jobs?

Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:

-8% drop in all jobs postings
-~30% drop in art, photography, writing jobs
-22% drop in journalism jobs
What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

This poem illustration is progressing with unusual speed.

11.5 hours in, and the end is already in sight. For a piece of this scale, that is borderline miraculous. The usual toll is 25 to 30 hours. Suspicious.

"Not even in my wildest dreams did I imagine that one day I would paint a picture of hot Bowser for official material, announced by Miyamoto himself. 😭 I laughed so hard in disbelief while painting, you have no idea lol"
post from Renan Porto's twitter, the post says "É Brasiiiiil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Nem nos meus sonhos mais malucos eu imaginei que um dia faria uma pintura do Bowser gostosão para um material oficial, anunciado pelo Miyamoto em pessoa. 😭 Eu ri tanto de descrença enquanto pintava, vcs nao tem idea kkkk" attached to the post is a screencap from the Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer of Bowser holding a painting of Buff Bowser with Princess Peach

Fruit and botanic tile pattern I created for author Idris Grey - 2nd part of the pattern collection for the rollout of their novel “Eat You Up”

@idrisgrey.bsky.social
Swatch card for the botanic tile pattern I created for author Idris Grey. Swatch card is a rectangle with the title and stamp logo on the lower right side. Inside the frame is the pattern large scale. The swatch card is on top of the pattern at a smaller scale. Pattern is in tones of muted deep lavender, dark navy, warm blue and creamy beige taupe. The pattern is a mosaics of tiles in alternating colours with vignettes of abstract botanics and fruit illustrations. Fruit illustrations include a pear, a strawberry, a pair of cherries and a pair of peaches. The botanic abstracts are symmetrical and inspired by tin tile ceilings and florals including daisies.

Reminder that, unless a creative freelancer has a spouse with a day job that offers health insurance, they likely have an ACA plan. And with the hits to creative industries the past few years, I'm guessing many qualify for subsidies.

Related reminder that comic creators are freelancers.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

The lone and level sands stretch far away.
