As seen in profile, a bearded aboriginal man of middle years sits with legs crossed on a perch of orange rock. He stares determinedly across flat barren plains topped by a beautiful blue sky. Breaking the upward sweeping pattern of wispy clouds, the contrail of a heavenly object arcs to the ground. Painted in indigenous style, its downward trail continues in the pictographs painted on the rock above the man. The surrounding art is a mix of decorative shapes and narrative elements. At the edge of the rock, above the contrail, a figure falls with arms and legs flailing. The older man holds a boomerang while several more rest on the stone near him. Beside him sits a boy with eyes cast dreamily upward as he grips a spear with the butt resting against the stone. Both are bare chested, wearing only loincloths.

SKYCHILD’S FALL (2006)
Acrylic on Gessobord - 22” x 22”

Commissioned out of the blue by a Japanese firm for a calendar. I never learned how the company got my name or contact info. After providing a summary of what they wanted me to explore, they left me to it. 1/2

Doctor to patient: "Try to reduce your stress level, and if you somehow succeed please let me know how in God's name you did it."

I thought this felt relatable

I know of one artist, at least, who folded because some of the earliest generative A.I. stole their style. Then they were accused of using A.I.

Again - what a shit show.

Michael Moorcock wrote novels over long weekends. Short & pulpy, yes. But still.

Now the A.I. danger swings the other way, where A.I. is assumed when someone *is* doing the work.

What a shit show.

Drawing on gray paper with black and white ink. A giant cat in a giant sort of inner tube floaty device is splashing on the sea and creating huge waves that are in the process of sinking a few yachts as if they were toy boats. The moon in the sky wears a captain’s hat and has a pipe and is amused by the spectacle.

The latest giant cat drawing. I am not sure it’s done, but I call it “Yacht Club.“

saw the cover for YOUNG HELLBOY PRESENTS 3 is out in the wild, so... (but don't worry, i won't be offeneded if you choose michael cho's variant... it's GORGEOUS!)

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

.@tomgauld.bsky.social gets it. Again.

Hawk Quest by Robert Lyndon

#fridayreads Hawk Quest by Robert Lyndon.

Thicc, sprawling historical. From Norman occupied England to Iceland and beyond.

Marvel’s uncensored ’70s horror comics resurface in Best of Vampire Tales with Dark Horse, Chris Ryall, and John Lind Blade, Morbius, and more stories you've probably missed are coming back - in deluxe, hardcover, archival form.

I was just saying yesterday I wished they would do this.

That's artist Boris Vallejo running away on the cover, by the way.

A drawing on gray paper with black and white inks. A gigantic cat sleeps curled up in the remains of the Roman Colosseum as if it were a cat bed. The cat snuggles with a sleeping contented moon in its arms.

Another one of my giant cats, “when in Rome…”

Original is sold, but I am working on having prints of this series available sometime soon.

A drawing on gray paper in black and white ink and paint. a gigantic white cat sits on a cliff with a lighthouse and a stormy sea. She is batting at the lighthouse as if it were a toy to be knocked off the edge. A crescent moon looks worried, and there is a ship on the sea approaching.

Another one of my giant cat drawings. Hoping to have some print on demand print available soon. But it’s been a nutty few weeks/month/decade.
😹😹😹😿🙀🤬

Jesus robes are pretty blasphemous but at least it wasn’t a tan suit!

Nice!
From now till 4/18, the ebook of ROAD OF BONES is only $1.99! Less than a cup of coffee! Tell your friends! Tell your enemies! Download it even if you own the physical copy, just in case. (And pre-order CARRY ME TO MY GRAVE. Trust me.)

And it used generative A.I., which is a blasphemy itself as far as I’m concerned.

Post an image from a game you played as a teenager:

Something we should all take very close note of. Particularly the almost 80% voter turnout.

holy shit he actually conceded

folks, they tell you they’re invincible

they tell you they’re inevitable

they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting

and absolutely none of that is true

Wow. What a hotel.

J.D. Vance appears surprised that America's foreign policy of being violent, greedy, selfish, untrustworthy, and unpredictable makes negotiation difficult 🤷‍♂️.

But always money for war and funneling bullshit, like his Board of ‘Peace.’ And paying out lawsuits to himself and Flynn.

Glad we got to chat!

Check out my latest! Boxing! Gangsters! Cosmic Horror!

Come and get it!

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists.

Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

All this fucking constant anxiety AND we have to pay taxes?!

Sam Altman's sister amends lawsuit accusing OpenAI CEO of sexual abuse Sam Altman's sister amended her civil lawsuit accusing the OpenAI chief executive of sexually abusing her ​more than two decades ago, after the judge said ‌she could try pursuing her case under Missou...

Holy crap -- Sam Altman isn't just credibly complicit in the murder of an employee, but also of the sexual assault of his younger sister for nine years:

Corp media will now gladly carry on with their normalizing & sane-washing, but the line was already crossed in his words today. We're not a functional country with a madman holding the keys to annihilation. He's a global threat, and anyone who says otherwise is part of the threat. Call your reps.

A drawing in black and white ink on gray paper of a tremendous cat in a mountain setting, larger than the mountains, and holding the moon up to its wide open mouth as if it’s about to eat it. The face on the moon indicates the moon is distressed by this.

Hey! After an extended period of getting signed out & just not bothering to sign back in again, I have signed back in again!

S’up?

I’ve been dealing w/ massive autistic burnout exacerbated by the anxiety of life in these times & drawing gigantic cats doing things such as eating the moon.

The face of rampant capitalism laid bare is never pretty.
