I made this for the first No Kings rally

If you're in America, show up to make a statement.

My friend and I couldn't stop staring at this and we just kept finding more and more errors. Which I think is hilarious because the backwards monitor isn't even where it ends.
Way to go, Principal Dev Lead of MICROSOFT.

7/3/25- Death of Liberty
OBBB funds ICE more than entire countries. So they can attack everyone, and put them into concentration camps they are building.
Funded by ripping away our healthcare to do it.
The America that received this statue and this quote, is dead. We need to fight for a new one.

5/29/25- Comin' Through
Been awhile since I posted any art, huh? Well thats because I've been absolutely buried in projects. But today I had a small breather, so I decided to do my own thing again.
The projects- and these personal paintings now and again, will continue!

Thanks! I thought about posting an updated version of him instead of Ridley, but I haven't taken him to that level of detail even slightly yet 😆

Hi new followers! I tend to post art (when I have time to make it), Sometimes animation (when I'm allowed) and rail against AI the rest of the time. Occasionally other things, but thats mostly it.
None of those today, so for now, enjoy this photo of my assistant.

Over the weekend the Head of the Copyright Office was fired by Trump. THIS is why. They rejected the fair use defense of AI companies. Page 51.

R's are also pushing to stop ANY AI regulation for 10 YEARS:

It's panic.

If you ever wondered why I became an artist, it was became of my mother. And also she became an artist because I- as a small kid, asked her to draw Garfield for me once. It's been quite a journey since.
Happy mother's day to all those out there taking their kids through whatever journey they're on.

Another phone animation with a 2hr leg back to SF from VGM Con. Decided to lean into the phone difficulty and just make it messy as hell. Still fun!

Made this little animation over my mag and then vgm con flights - on my phone, because some technology is still very cool (even if phone drawing is very hard!)

Theres a survey part, and then there's these lies. Can't possibly just ask people legitimate questions, of course.
