Good morning.

This one hits hard.

A horse with glowing eyes is rising from a watery pool amid the reeds.

In Scotland and Ireland beware strange horses. They may be the each-uisge. If you can saddle it and ride inland, you will have a fine horse, until it gets a whiff of sea-air. Then it gallops seaward, devouring you but leaving your liver to float upon the surface of the water... #FolkloreThursday

Starry fairy lights coming from hollow in base of a tree in woodland, sun rays piercing the scene, painting.

Tweet by Jatin @jatinkmalik The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible

Painting of a woman with a white rose. Snow seems to be falling. House in the background. She's wearing a red dress and I think a dark cloak.

'...and I fall into melancholies of honey and roses which are none the less melancholy.'

Painting of a woman in a white dress holding flowers. She looks at the ground. Dark background. Sad vibe.

'Flowers may open, buds may blossom,
Bud and flower alike are vain;
Her days shall pass like a mournful story in
care and tears and pain.'
-Emily Brontë

Black-and-white, crosshatched illustration of a pale, long-haired woman in a simple floor-length white gown, standing rigidly front-facing in a dark field, one hand raised to display a small knife, her wide eyes and blank expression stark against the streaked, stormy background. Edward Gorey’s cover illustration for “The Dream Woman” by Wilkie Collins.

“Between the foot of the bed and the closet door, I saw a person in my room. The person was a woman, standing looking at me, with a knife in her hand. It does no credit to my courage to confess it— but the truth IS the truth."

(Wilkie Collins)

Hooray! I'm so excited to finally get to share two of the cards I made for the new #MTGLorwynEclipsed set!

It was such a joy to work on these and I'm still pinching myself to see my name on a magic card, how crazy! Many thanks to my amazing AD Jameela Wahlgren who was an absolute joy to work with!

Siento como que estamos a menos de 5 años de que una editorial quiera trabajar con un ilustrador y a menos de 5 años de que un ilustrador quiera trabajar con una editorial.

La Casa del Libro anunciándose con una campaña enteramente hecha con IA es como abrir una pescadería y llamarla SALMONELA.

Portada de "el bosque de los cuentos" por El Hematocrítico, y con ilustraciones de Alberto Vázquez.

Si queréis comprar un libro infantil que no esté hecho por una sinvergüenza monetizando una tragedia con un mondongo creado con la IA, haceros con "El bosque de los cuentos" del gran Hemato, con ilustraciones de Alberto Vázquez. Una cosa preciosa que te cura el alma. Fuck IA y gloria eterna a Hemato

Fantabuloso el combate de ilustradores de ayer que presentamos @marvillar.bsky.social y yo

Yo tenía 40 cuando me diagnosticaron cáncer. El cáncer es una enfermedad multifactorial, y aquí abro el melón:
las condiciones laborales como ilustrador/dibujante, enferman y matan. La precariedad, las noches sin dormir, los maratones en la silla, el estrés: matan.

Kidlitart postcard illustration by Nicola Schofield of a forest of trees that change in colour, left to right, from prinks and oranges, through shades of green, to black and bare. Small figures and scenes can be seen through the trees in various places.

It's an autumnal #kidlitartpostcard day!

The trees are busy changing colour & flinging leaves off in all directions. Huge piles sit around periodically crunchy and soggy. Winter is approaching fast!

En resumen:

Mazón no ha dimitido.

Sigue siendo presidente hasta que Vox y PP acuerden un sustituto. Si no acuerdan nada, puede seguir toda la legislatura.

Obviamente sigue aforado.

Y mientras tenga baja médica, estará escondido y sin comparecer en comisiones de investigación.

Qué casualidad que quienes nunca tengan problemas para vivir del arte vengan de familias pudientes, debe ser que tienen un don™.

Ninguno de quienes nos calzamos las botas el Día Después y los meses siguientes olvidaremos nunca lo que vimos y vivimos, ni el abandono institucional, la dejación absoluta de organismos oficiales ni la tremenda dignidad de lugares como Parque Alcosa.

No se trata de hacer sentir culpable a nadie por ganar honradamente su dinero pero es una fantasía tener estabilidad económica hoy en día para la inmensa mayoría.

No se trata tanto de la cifra y más de cuánto cuesta la vida. El alquiler son ± 900€ en Valencia, los que cobramos menos del SMI vivimos al filo de una mala factura para vernos en la calle, 2500€ me parece un lujo, igual que más que cualquier cantidad que me permitiera dormir por las noches.
