Stefan Poag doing a touch of Funhouse Dungeon crossed with Hell and Dante, and Erol Otus squidgeyness on his Wacom -- I love it. That poor single fighting man at 5 O'Clock has his work cut out for him

I've painted a couple of these little guys, each about 10 inches tall. #stefanpoag #illustration #goblin #acrylicpainting #weirdfantasy #noai
Artwork from 2018. I don't remember why this assortment of freaks and mutants appear to be worshipping at some sort of shrine of technology but that is what the future holdst. #stefanpoag #illustration #postapocalypse #penandink #drawing #noai #traditionalmedia #weirdfantasy
Painting from 7 or 8 years ago. One of my worst repeating nightmares are dreams of drowning. I imagine something just pulling me under the waves and the agony of feeling my lungs begin to burst and I just want to wake. I think it is about anxiety. #stefanpoag #illustration #baddreams #300words #noai
Sorcerous energies drained during a long journey across mysterious terrain to the southwest. An hour gained was again lost. Provisions of a poor quality had been unwisely purchased; frequent and desperate stops were needed. I now retreat to my sanctum to rest and recover. #stefanpoag #300words #noai
The best thing about the new pope is that for one day that orange fucker was almost absent from the front pages. Painting is probably unrelated although a big hand that takes everything probably tells it’s own story. #stefanpoag #illustration #acrylicpainting #fantasyart #weirdfantasy
As a follow up to yesterday’s post, here’s another hell scene drawn by me for Goodman games in 2024. I think I have some sort of unhealthy and unrealistic expectation that the guilty will be punished… It is nice to dream. #stefanpoag #illustration #penandink #noai #fuckai #traditionalmedia #300words
I’m still out on the road and away from the studio so l have nothing of my own to show but here is a painting I have not seen in person by Giovanni Da Modena from 1410 I think - I would love to go to Bologna and see it in person. #stefanpoag #hell #devils #goodart #noai
Still trying to stick with drawing - doing some changes in terms of make making, technique and tools. Hope everyone is well - #stefanpoag #illustration #blackandwhite #wacom #drawing #line
We met with a financial advisor today to check on our retirement fund. I think he was too optimistic the future. He said several times that medicaid and social security would not be cut because that would be a "political disaster." I don't think he understood that 47 does not care. #stefanpoag #noai
You know what? I am suffering a bad case of capitalism. I feel anxiety over a situation I cannot control or comprehend and yet it is somehow going to cost me the money I was told I never deserved? Also: Zorba? #stefanpoag #illustration #goblinbitch #zorba #illustration #witchpleas #300words #notai
inking in the studio tonight, trying to find internal peace as I try to do some better inking. I'm currently switching between brushes and pens, making choices in ink. #stefanpoag #illustration #weirdfantasy #inkdrawing #fantasyillustration
You were OK with the dissapearings, the firings, the treason, the felonies, the cuts to medicine, research, education and welfare, all that shit was OK to you. But now that it has started to touch your wallet, you suddenly find your principles. #300words #stefanpoag #illustration #worldbuilding #art
I watched a video in which Elon talked about teleporting Italians to place other than Italy and asking the question if Italy would still be Italy if there were no "Italians" there and then he acted as if this was not nonsense. #stefanpoag #300words #illustration #drawing #notaiart #fuckelon #weirdos

Bsky.app limits us to 300 characters and I am trying to use every single one. It requires some careful editing - like the careful editing of reality that is going on around us while people explain how ruining the economy is going to be a good thing. #stefanpoag #illustration #art #300words #notaiart
I just heard an ad for a major ai product that told a lighthearted story of a boy who used ai to deceive the family of a a girl that he fancied that he knew a lot about science when he in fact knew nothing at all and I thought that was so 2025. #stefanpoag #illustration #penandink #weirdfantasy #art
"The Gifts of the Magi" Woke up this morning to a serious leak in the roof - right above my drawing table! Luckily, nothing important was on the table at the time, but where will I work? #stefanpoag #illustration #penandink #osr #osrrpg #insects #worldbuilding #weirdfantasy #artistlife #studiolife
Woohoo look at you. Been painting in the studio, trying to catch up on artwork projects. #stefanpoag #illustration #acrylicpainting #weirdfantasy #dccrpg #dccrpgart #goodmangames #monsters
Pete Hegseth once threw an axe at a target, missed the target and hit a guy from West Point playing a drum. Google the video. Drawing is unrelated. #stefanpoag #illustration #osr #axeman #dipshit #drawing #penandink
"BORN TO LOSE" is not just a song - it is also a possible career and life trajectory. #stefanpoag #graypanthers #illustration #dystopia #fightingforourlives #suicidebomber #johnnythunders #1977

Oh shit, it's that big fucking purple hand again! Lets all think ourselves into better times. #stefanpoag #illustration #weirdfantasy #acrylicpainting #monsters #osr #osrpg #rpg #bighands #fucktrump
In 2024 I imagined I might create a story/comic where Trump is an irresponsible punk rocker who lives in a Potemkin village built by his father where all the other residents are actors paid to put up with his shit. Still might. #stefanpoag #illustration #fucktrump #SOS #pencildrawing #garbage
And I shall have my REVENGE! #stefanpoag #illustration #acrylicpainting #weirdfantasy #dccrpg #dccrpgart #goodmangames #ttrpg #osr #osrart
I also picked up this beauty from @harley-stroh.bsky.social's upcoming DCC funnel, "The Thrall Of Szerekhan", but it's a bit trickier to frame just yet. #stefanpoag #dcc #goodmangames

It's harder to threaten people with jail when you take away everything on the outside that makes life bearable. I'm just saying: if you keep kicking a dog, you shouldn't be surprised if it bites you. #stefanpoag #illustration #pencil #graypanthers #fucktrump #mydailyaffirmation #weirdfantasy

Trying to keep my nose to the grindstone despite the fuckery going on in DC. I have no words for how idiotic and irresponsible our leadership has become. #illustration #stefanpoag #ghosts #osrrpg #osrart #goodmangames #dccrpg #penandink #weirdfantasy #fucktrump #monsters #theundead
We've got Elon telling us that Social Security is a "Ponzi scheme" that needs to be taken away from us but they also want to use tax dollars to create a "crypto reserve" which (sarcasm) does not sound like a scam at all. Слава Україні! #stefanpoag #illustration #monster #osrrpg #osrart #dagon
