Two book covers I did a while back, don't think I ever posted them here (ps - very open for book cover commissions!)

It's my birthday! 🥳 Once again, this means everyone is legally required to peruse my shop wares and/or share this post - ko-fi.com/elainemwill/...

Be certain, as is always the case with things such as this, that ANYTHING can be considered sexual and can end in a blanket account shadowban under this. It is easily weaponized it is determined by an AI moderation system. There is no accountability or recourse. you probly can't read this.

It's kind of hilarious to see Bluesky eagerly making a run at self-immolation by learning absolutely nothing from Tumblr's self-own.

If this was the 80s, or there was any justice left in the world, this would be an entire toyline with a cartoon series backing it up.

Today’s Panel Syndicate’s lucky anniversary: 13 years since BKV, Muntsa and myself launched the first issue of The Private Eye. We’ve been awfully quiet lately but that doesn’t mean we don’t have anything cooking… So Happy Birthday to us and thank you all!

I wrote this comic 2 years ago. I was terrified when I wrote it but had hope it wouldn't come to pass and would be a reminder of how bad things got before we pulled back. It not only has, it has gotten even worse. This is absolutely terrifying and will destroy lives if passed.

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

SUPPORT INDIE COMICS!!!!

Really tired of Instagram constantly suggesting pro-AI posts to me no matter how many times I block them. They always start with 'this changes everything' & end with 'comment __ to find out more,' and, like, buddy, I already know it's a scam, you don't need to tell me with your whole chest.

people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

And yet they're baffled at their poor reputation and stock performance...

If you are still using Pinterest for reference material, it's only going to get worse than it already is.

Too cold to use the resin printer this week, so I thought I'd start running off the pieces for my Munsters scene I'm working on. Still need to model the door knocker and handles.

I can't wait to start sharing the pages that have been going up on Patreon, but it's just the first six as a teaser before I pause for a bit while i get started on it properly. It'll probably be the back half of February/early March when I start posting them regularly here.

Maybe if they focused on keeping the apps from being absolute memory pigs, stopped all the fun new bugs from crashing them all the time, and stopped shoving AI promos in your face all the time, we might be able to use them again instead of looking for functional alternatives.

Drawing stuff that would make good album covers, 3/? #art #artpost #illustration

Inspired by our provincial government's seeming drive towards privatization through mismanagement, this was the original text on the poster before I swerved towards corporations.

well, there goes my ‘26 resolution to focus on drawing solely on paying work and pages and not just stuff i like that won’t sell… bigfoot and wildboy.

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein ('s Monster)

Well, that's totally mortifying. Something about that pencil was bugging me, and I just realized I bumped it while adjusting layers and it was wildly uncentred.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

Here comes Santa Clause! Here comes Santa Clause! #matthewart

Working on something new in the New Year... #comics

This is from 2020, but I still like it -

Today on the patreon - the first issue of of NIGHTSOIL, collected in a handy pdf. On a distant, barren world, a hermit is forced to rejoin the society he tried to reject, decades ago... (with colors, of course, by Sergey Nazarov). www.patreon.com/posts/nights...

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

This was a blast to work on, big thanks to Robert for letting me play with his characters. The book's also an absolute steal of a deal on Itch!
