Well, Bluesky had a good run I suppose.

It’s me, dang it, in a black hoodie with a patch featuring a bird saying I poop on fascists, and a black toque featuring a capybara cradling a cup of coffee

I only had hockey toques & the hockey players annoyed me during the Olympics by supporting a fascist, so I got a coffee-drinking capybara toque (it’s actually a patch sewed on a plain black toque) & I know that capybara is never gonna turn out to be a jerk, so: new profile pic

A goblin wearing a robe and slippers sits in a padded chair before a large fireplace. He has a pipe in his mouth and a small, thick book in one hand. All around him are trophies and books, and a scimitar rests on pegs above the fireplace.

#fbf to this retired goblin adventurer enjoying the finer things. Also painted in CSP from a pencil drawing.

A digital painting of what looks like a grown-up Woodstock (from Peanuts) in fantasy adventurer clothes and carrying a sword.

#tbt learning Clip Studio by painting a Woodstock/Chocobo Final Fantasy thing! Should I do more of these?

It’s a cartoon of a sheep wearing a cabbie’s and jacket while driving a taxi. Its mouth is open in a comically over-the-top bleat, and a worried pssenger sits in the back seat.

Throwback to this pun James had to make while we were doing art for Button Men.
He’s…
ready?….
He’s Mutton Ben!
He’s a sheep who drives a taxi! Because reasons, obviously. Thanks for stopping by!

A variety of pencil character sketches depicting a tusked and hunched beast alien wearing futuristic clothes.

#tbt some character design sketches for the hacker from the previously-posted “A Simple Withdrawal” illustration. There’s nothing more fun than character design. For me, I mean. You do you of course. Unless you use AI. In that case just don’t. #noai

A cartoon version of Nate is wildly gnawing on a copy of a book titled “Grimoire: ECCC 2026.” Text over the image reads “ECCC Signing (not eating)! Saturday 11am-12pm! See my new short comic! Grim Oak Press Booth #26008.”

The book just looks so good I want to eat it! BUT I WON’T. I’ll just sign them, I swear. My daughter might help. Come by @grimoakcommunity booth #26008 and get yoursef a copy that includes my new short comic story “Here and There!”

I couldn’t agree more. If COVID taught me anything it was “don’t wait to find joy.”

It was probably *because* of those baseball cards that turned out to be worthless. The whole “don’t do what I diiiiiiid.”

I just looked that up and holy shit. I must have been subconsciously channeling that!

A comic-book-style scene of a heist gone wrong. A large alien covered in wearable tech stands at a futuristic ATM yelling at his gun-wielding partner who is yelling back. A future cop is approaching from the side of the building.

#fbf to this old piece for ECCC’s charity art book. I was feeling some real Fifth Element vibes with this alien hacker and human gunslinger. “A Simple Withdrawal.”

A stylized depiction of a thin, anxious man in Colonial Era clothing walking through spooky woods at night.

#tbt to this test piece of Ichabod Crane I did for a Sleepy Hollow project that got cancelled midstream. C’est l’amour!

Counter-point: Trump voters should swim forever in a sea of shame with no safe harbor.

A cartoon of an ugly, bloated humanoid creature wearing sagging cargo shorts, hiking boots, and a t-shirt with a backwards American flag on the sleeve underneath a combat vest. The letters ICE on the vest are overlayed with a red Nazi SS symbol. In the creature’s hands is a shotgun that goes flaccid at the end. Beside him are the words “Let me in. And I’ll burn down your house.”

“America isn’t the way it is because Trump is President. Trump is President because America is the way it is.”
Do not lose hope. Things will change for the better if we stand up in the face of this authoritarian thuggery.

A cartoon drawing of a sultry woman with horns and a tail wrapped in ribbon. Text behind the woman says Happy New Year!

Getting a “draw this pose in your style” just in under the wire for December. Oh, and Happy New Year, of course! This has been…well, one for the history books, that’s for damn sure. Here’s to living while we can.

A pencil portrait of Rob Reiner.

He gave us so many great movies including my favorite of all time, The Princess Bride. And the end of his story was so tragic, I can’t even comprehend it.
#robreiner

A collection of faces sketched in pencil. Some are based on photos, others are from my imagination.

Started sketching some faces from imagination, but then realized I needed to do some reference sketches because my mental library was LOW. To be continued!

A cartoon elf sits with his legs propped up on his workbench while he talks on a candy cane phone and holds a mug of cocoa.

I like to think, as a boss, Santa’s okay with taking personal calls at work.

A cropped image of a comic book page featuring an intense conversation between two women in a public hallway.

What have I been up to? Oh, just making comics for @grimoakpress.bsky.social and their new Grimoire. This 10-page short will be available at ECCC (and on their website of course). I love making comics!

The holiday Lego village finally grows this year with the gingerbread AT-AT! I think everyone will get along, but the Golden Brown Lord of the Sith must make a dramatic entrance!

A cartoony mummy and a bat sit at a bistro table and clink cauldron-shaped mugs. The text “Happy Halloween” is above their heads.

No matter what age you are, I hope you get dressed up and enjoy all the candy you can!
Happy Halloween!

Aw, that’s awesome!

It’s done! It’s done done done!
As my three-clawed hands transform back into humanoid paws, I’d like to revel in the enormous body of work I’ve just created (this x46).
Stay tuned here and at @mindforge_media_ltd for news about when the Kickstarter launches!
For now, though, I’ll be on the couch!

Two firepits, spacious yard, moonwell views, 7 million gold.
The market is going to get brutal.

Whenever I hear someone say AI.

Just thinking about how creating something “completely unprompted” is probably going to have two meanings soon.

Because of that show, my copy of the Technical Manual went everywhere with me for many years. Your name will never leave my memory, you genius!

There’s nothing like the stomping of a 5-year-old who has to go UPSTAIRS to get dressed, ugh fine.
