Started @ Disney Feature Animation in 1974. Best known for the Disney Afternoon, Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck, and Buzz Lightyear, among others. Also, two Hellboy Animated features. Now selling art @ cons when they invite me or online when least expected!

When news outlets use "robot apocalypse" or something similar when covering the AI threat, it keeps the subject matter in the fantasy world. If they used examples like "AI could empty your bank account" or "publicize your porn habits" it would seem scarier. I'm sure it would make Trump think twice.

Escrow should close to tomorrow. So let's think about anything else. Instagram does a great job of recommending artists similar to those I already follow, but most of my feed is made up of more suggestions. So how do I flip the ratio, to see more of those I already follow?

I'm finding it hard to get any art done until we're settled somewhere. But I'll be putting three pieces up for sale in just a bit, a Chip n Dale, a Rescue Rangers group, and Team Darkwing.

Haven't posted much lately, but sometimes the compulsion takes over and I just have to share. It's like a public service thing. The new Hostess donettes CHURRO mini-donuts are fantastic, Seriously delicious.

Post SDCC Announcement Recap: I'm lettering a new My Little Pony ongoing! One of my first ongoing series and it's gonna be amazing to work on a comic with such a long runway. More on this soon because we're not releasing any details QUITE yet.

So we announced this at SDCC, but I didn't make a huge fuss, because I was at SDCC and I don't have Bluesky on my phone. But. Starting this November, I will be writing the My Little Pony comic, with art by @amymebberson.bsky.social, colors by Joana LaFuente and letters by @longtalljodie.com.

Listening to a Patreon episode of Otherworld, a great paranormal podcast. Highly recommended, go back to the start and enjoy. Anyway, in this episode Jack was revisiting the Hatman story. (Google it) A pastor ran a website that collected stories.

The eruption of Mount St. Helens, seen shortly after 8:32 am Sunday, 18 May 1980, probably along the forest roads of Gifford Pinchot National Forest. The photographer, Richard Lasher, survived the eruption that killed approximately 57 others.

n the Pictures Worth a Thousand Words category, I gave Greg some gag notes after the first script draft of the Gargoyles/DW crossover which he painstakingly described in the script. I don't know if Ciro ever saw my drawings.

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

I looked at 200+ artist portfolios. Here's what I learned

I went through a ton of artist portfolios, and I saw what a lot of them have to offer. Here's what I took away (and what I'll use!)

For personal reasons, I haven't drawn anything in about a month. Before the hiatus I was using Clip Studio Paint more and more. Next time I get a cover gig, I'll definitely be trying CSP. But one thing has kept me wearing the Photoshop shackles, photo editing. This is always for family stuff,

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Concrete is kinda hard to find here in Brazil, but I managed to get both softcover volumes of the short stories and some other TPBs like Fragile Creature, Killer Smile and the Brazilian edition of Depths

I cancelled my sub to the Washington Post, but I'm already paid up til December. So in a graphic article today they showed occupations most and least projected to be harmed by AI. Artists and graphic designers had low vulnerablity, but Writers and authors - consider taking on janitorial work.

Getting rid of loose paper and thought these worth scanning and posting. These are just from the OG series. I'll leave it to the fans to document the "I AMs" from DuckTales 2017, The BOOM! Studios comic run, the Dynamite comic runs, and the billion or so improvs Jim Cummings has uttered online/
