Okay, now I’m excited for the Star Trek set. I didn’t know they were doing Lower Deck shenanigans.

So…my mother in law sent me photo of the sire of our new kittens. It’s blurry because of the distance, but…that face…that’s like a Fae creature posing as a cat, right?!
My post-convention dopamine withdrawal is extra powerful after 3 shows in a row, lol
I returned home from my month of travels to a couple of new roommates.
Happy Birthday #Skynet - human decision making was removed from strategic defence on this day in 1997.
How much do you think it would be to commission Tyler Walpole for Downfall and Divergence? Answer is that art is priceless and who cares. #exu #calamity #ringofbrass @tylerwalpole.bsky.social @criticalrole.bsky.social
I think I’m going to make a flow chart for accepting new gigs. I keep overcommitting my time.
The moment I got my first physical set for MtG I had an outpour of artists in the community personally reach out to me congratulating me. It was something I will NEVER forget and etched into my core memories.
Tyler Walpole ➡️ Dragon Con@tylerwalpole.bsky.social · yesterdayOne thing that I truly value about the fantasy art community is how damned supportive they are of one another. Almost everyone wants to help other artists with their craft and connections. I don’t know who set the tone for this, but it’s been going on for on for entire career, and it fuels me.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day was a terrific return to Marvel just telling a good story, rather than having us sit through a 2.5 hour long advertisement for the MCU brand identity. The writing, performances, art direction and effects were all top notch. Highly recommend!
Probably would've been nice to know this before the 2024 election, but sure
@GottaLaff@gottalaff.bsky.social · 2d agoABC has picked it up now. "Capital One says it closed hundreds of Trump's bank accounts in 2021 'for anti-money laundering reasons'"
Why is there such a high percentage of people in Chicago that dive like absolute maniacs? I’ve driven in a lot of cities, but the highways there are insane.
It's also almost as though the far right agenda is simply not a grievance that can ever be settled. .... Which is also why it will never work our well for other 'centrist' or 'centre-right' parties when they pander to it.
A billion dollars is the socio-economic equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work with the same urgency and ruthlessness to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 5d agoElon Musk is planning to spend at least $100 million to help Republicans in this year’s midterms. That’s just 0.014 percent of his current $702 billion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.
If you missed the adaptation of my @imagecomics.com series REVIVAL, you’ll soon be able to catch it in @netflix.com ! It’s really good! youtu.be/B5xZdIDvDeE
PSA 📢 If you are trying to give me critical information IE your phone number, email, address of a key location: Please put that shit in a separate line of text whether it is a text chain on SMS, another app or discord. I need to be able to copy that shit as easily as possible. Your ADHD friend.
I hate that storyboards have become expected to be final clean animation poses with breakdowns in perfect perspective. this is not how it was supposed to be. let the animators animate! (I say as both a boarder and an animator)
Rachel Green@rachelgreenart.bsky.social · 6d agoI love how the previous generations of storyboard artists were allowed to draw silly cartoon characters on flat wobbly backgrounds, but now we have to learn how to draw the most realistic anime proportions and perspective ever to even be considered for a job
Week three of my whirlwind convention tour brings us to Gen Con!! Swing by booth 1357 to say hello, get your Magic cards signed, or chat about Car! #gencon2026 #magicthegathering #criticalrole #drizzt
Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.
my friend and I were just discussing that we stop going to establishments and lose all respect for them when we see AI generated posters and flyers.... and there are so many
One more con in this crazy tour! You can find me this weekend at booth 1357 at Gen Con!! #mtg #magic #marvel #criticalrole #gencon
The Avatar Aang movie is so gorgeous, omg!!!
Not excited about T-Mobile suffering a massive outage while I was in the air. Getting picked up from the airport will be tricky now. Hope it’s resolved soon.
I'm talking a bit about card alters in an upcoming video, so if you'd like to show off a few of your favroite card alters, post 'em here and be sure to tag/credit who altered them! #MAgicTheGathering
