I’ve started a bonafide workout plan with a strength trainer, and for the first time in my life did bench presses today. I failed hard thanks to my shoulder injury, and could only manage around 85 lbs. Arms are already noodles. This is going to be the hard part, but I’m in it to win it.

Just got back from seeing Brand New Day with the fam. It was pretty good. Killer action scenes, cool homages, and a really good looking suit were only partially overshadowed by the rushed 3rd act and anticlimactic ending.
I have once again forgotten this site exists. Please forgive me. In my defense, the age verification thing is really fucked up.
I was going to chill the afternoon away with coffee and lazily reading some art books but then the toilet started leaking and so now I'm headed to Home Depot like a proper middle-age man instead.
Was greeted with a super invasive, super tedious age verification prompt upon logging in today. Hey @bsky.app, is this really what we're doing now?
July is here, which means Marvel Chrome 2026 is out! I did 50 cards for this series, leaning heavily on my favorite characters, especially those dirty mutants, all hand-drawn with traditional media. Gotta catch 'em all!
Anyway, all that to say I've been super busy working on covers, commission, sketch cards, and design work now that I'm back to art full-time, and will be posting about them incessantly for the rest of the summer.
Sometimes I just like, forget that I have this account, then come to post something and it's all "22 days since you posted" and guys social media is so fucking exhausting as an artist.
Vader and Beens keeping me company while I work today. Despite being my grumpiest cat it’s been really heartwarming to watch Vader warm up to the baby over the last year, to the point where he now actively sits close enough so they can touch butts.
Oh, just thinking about 2003's The Animatrix: The Second Renaissance, for no particular reason.
More and more it feels like we're living the plot of Three Body Problem. www.newsweek.com/chinese-scie...
Happy #EarthDay to everyone who cares about clean water over data centers, clean air over fossil fuels, and clean food over processed slop. #ImDoingMyPart
I think a lot about how illustration rates have been stagnant since basically the form was invented, and the great gatsby was inspired by JC Leyendeckers legendary mansion parties
Here's a little sneak peak of a NSFW cover I just wrapped up. I'll post the full image when the Kickstarter drops later this summer!
I'm trying to hang out here more and the other place less, but the interactions are just so few and far between.
Today is Beef Supreme's one year gotcha anniversary! How it started/How it's going

For the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 The Walt Disney Company reported $26 billion in revenue, a 5% year-over-year increase, with profits of $4.6 billion in 2025. Meanwhile...
Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!
A great thread with a ton of useful info straight from a WotC AD!
It’s #PortfolioDay which is one of my favorite days on the internet! I’ve found so many amazing artists to work with because of it. As a little reminder @magic.wizards.com now has an online portfolio submission tool! company.wizards.com/en/freelance... #wotcstaff

Leveling up doesn't feel like relief, it feels like being buried under everything that's ever made you uncomfortable.
Today's art share is this beautifully grotesque unnamed aquatic eldritch horror, commissioned by the fine folks at @78tarot.bsky.social
Today I got to start work on a cover of a hot Orc-chick sitting on top of a pile of latex-skinned demons having an orgy. How was your Monday?
