The Back Endpaper for ‘The Bone Shard Emperor’ by Andrea Stewart 💙 (4/6) I got to draw a giant Sea Serpent! This was an absolute delight to paint 💛

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

keep an ink only sketchbook; draw with a pen until it isnt scary anymore

ARTISTS: quote with some random art advice!!

Overwhelmed by all the responses, ty and sorry if I can't reply to everyone! To be clear, this was a knee jerk reaction - I'm not sure yet what can be done bc it's official D&D artwork, maybe it falls under "fair use"?? (As lame as that headline might be) Idk. Rest assured I'll look into it tho

Time to invoice the telegraph for using my illustration, I guess

A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

I'm in a pack 💛 and in GREAT company too

I had been wanting to make one of these for ages, and now that adding folks to Starter Packs is easier, and I had some time to kill while waiting for my plane... Here is my pack of fave/recommended artists! Some of my heroes, my mates and many folks that keep me inspired! 💙 go.bsky.app/PiYCRZF

I can finally say BUUZA!! is going to be PUBLISHED BY ABRAMS BOOKS! I've had to keep this under wraps for SO LONG, but the Pre-Order links went up today, so it's official!! BUUZA!! Vol. 1: Good Morning Salwa will be available in the USA on 14th April 2026! www.abramsbooks.com/product/good...

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

more concept art!

Some favourite sketches from a life drawing session with the lovely @davidieuan.bsky.social, from before I left London. Should I start a thread with all my life drawing, or do people prefer separate posts? What's the consensus here? #art #lifedrawing

New one for @magic.wizards.com and it MOVES! SO happy to be a tiny part of the Edge of Eternities release! Full illustration coming soon 🌌

My Q2 #MTG card signings are stacked with talent! It's basically a MagicCon's worth of artists, with fan favorites and new artists that have never signed! Let's take a look to see who's on the lineup! MountainMageSigs.com Anna Christenson @ansonmaddocks.bsky.social Bayard Wu Carl Critchlow 1/9🧵

Every major UK newspaper - left, right, broadsheet, tabloid - is running a front page campaign against copyright carveouts for AI training. I can't remember the last time any political cause had such broad support, let alone one so anti-big tech and so economically consequential.

This is so wild

Horrified by this e-mail I got from a real illustration agency this morning, advertising the chance to *USE AI* to generate images in the style of one of their illustrators. You join their plan for $$$, pick an artist, give the AI a prompt, then reach out if you want specialization.

First art in 2025, hope there will be much more (⁠*⁠ﾉ⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♫

If you've got a Bearscape or a Collective Voyage that you've always wanted to have signed - I'm joining forces with @mountainmagesigs.com to make it happen 💛 #mtg

MountainMage, Signature Wizard ⛰️🧙‍♂️✍️ 🔜 #DragonCon@mountainmagesigs.com · last yr.

New artist announcement for my 2025 Q2 #MTG signings! Everyone please welcome @rbessaaa.bsky.social to the MountainMage family! 🧙‍♂️ Get cards signed by them and 200+ other artists: MountainMageSigs.com or DM me for more info! #MagicTheGathering
