Big trouble in little China

Mattel teaming with openAI after huge layoffs in the industry is NOT a great sign.
Kids need less screens, corporations need more accountability. A suss company operates carte blanche, illegally scraping tons of IP for its learning models and you want it to teach my kid?
Nah… I’ll stick with legos

Very rad

I need to eat and take a nap.

I believe in the artist’s hermetic journey.
The sincere want to create something that’s personal.

At the same time I have to remember it is important study and build a foundation . To grow slow. While maintaining a studio practice.

I forgot how awesome old sepultura was. Dang!

The 80s was crazy… you could have a platinum blonde skullet some Zumbaz pants and still be considered bad ass.

That frogoblin is zooted aloft the saddle of their Persian steed.

I remember renting Vampire Hunter D… I was probably 11-12 years old.
I was amazed and inspired by the movement, color and story.
Very nostalgic
I love it

Sales are down…
Competition is high.
I’m making the best work I’ve ever made.
Such is life!

59% of being a independent artist is selling the art and 59% of selling the art is getting ignored about the art.
LFG

It’s like my life totally changed the moment I put on a pair of warm clean socks.

Try to do the right thing… even if it hurts.

About art… I keep most of my hot takes to myself.
There’s no point.

MMM version 2

Hell yeah bro! Love it

Started looking at my 24’ taxes.
Every year, for a week at least I’m spun for a loop. Until I set down and dig through it for a couple days.
All I can say I the art market is definitely down from last year… and last year was down from the year before.

Sewing new soft goods for the next release when Bean is sleeping.
Hopefully it’s warm enough I can cast some resin… probably not.

Been working on new art stuff a little bit.
It’s far too cold to paint toys so, Numerous sculpts for toys and a new comic being shopped to publishers. I’m stuck doing indoors stuff for now.
I don’t think my wife and little girl mind all that much.

I hate talking about AI in art. Hate it… nothing new to talk about. No progress made. I just don’t think it’s good. All cap

Humility begets kindness

Don’t be the dude who is jockin style and not supporting.

Thank you!!

Peak physical performance
