Hi, #PortfolioDay ! I'm Mike and I like creating fun, colorful character-driven art. I make lots of art for video and tabletop games and would love to create some MG book covers. I am also seeking representation. Cheers! #kidLitArt #characterDesign #characterIllustration #gameArt #illustration

Epic's Tim Sweeney declares Valve have "held gaming back for years" - He's half right

Deductopia comes out tomorrow! This is the culmination of two of the hardest years of my life, including disaster, recovery, and loss. It's a low-key miracle that this game still got finished, and it means a lot to me if you check it out. store.steampowered.com/app/4429720/...

Games industry core

This Thursday! Join us for our Halloween edition of #KidLitArt chat! #kidlit #art

My son (7) and I just released an album as The Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans. He plays guitar and improvises lyrics & keys, picked the band name and made all the art on the site. We're donating proceeds to his school this week! thechocolatecoveredespressobeans.bandcamp.com/album/the-ch...

What I wrote about Gavin Newsom a year ago is never more applicable to several Democrats today. I foresaw this coming, and I continue to hold this true.

Like many artists, I am struggling with AI. My reaction to this has been to create an entirely human made product for other humans to make! You can buy a little paper house. It arrives in a bright envelope with a bit of art and silliness. More here: www.lucycorrina.co.uk/shopproducts...

Ledgerbound has been nominated for Excellence in Narrative at the @devgamm.bsky.social Awards! Every line of dialogue was crafted with genuine heart and care. Seeing our story recognized by the jury means the world to our team. Thank you to everyone who played our game! ❤️

The chair of the DCCC is @repdelbene.bsky.social, of Washington State. If you live in congressional district 1 in WA, you could get in touch and let her know that you don't want the DCCC paying for ads that endorse Republican anti-trans narratives. delbene.house.gov/contact/offi...

Really wished more people shared this with their friends, esp bookish friends who don’t use Bluesky. Stop looking for rando artists on Threads then screaming you got scammed. We already vetted a bunch of real artists for you to choose from.

Like deckbuilders? I wrote about some unusual ones--and why it pays to break the rules. thinkygames.com/features/gre...

This Black MAGA creator says she “cannot believe the disrespect” after being removed from a San Antonio rally hosted by Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton!?!?! Why would they treat her this way???

The magnificent Priconodon, one of a dozen sculptures on the new dinosaur discovery trail in Laurel, Maryland. Free and open everyday for all your life-sized dinosaur needs.

Repost to help me tell my power company that being a game dev doesn't make it okay to burn my house down.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

The demo for our next game is available NOW! If you're curious, please check it out during NextFest starting Monday! #gamedev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/5187990/...

Congratulations to Nozomu Games for their release of Burn With Me, their dark, creepy narrative deck-building roguelike. It was one of my favorite demos from the last Next Fest and I've recently played through the entire thing and really enjoyed it. I also did some alt card art for the game too!

Finally getting to posting my launch party pics, haha. Thanks everyone who came out to celebrate MEDUSA'S PET ROCK at Mrs. Dalloways last month! There were pet rock cookies, silly rock-themed prizes, and I even managed to finish my presentation without blanking out.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead
