FIRESTARTER (1980) Acrylic on Masonite - 20” x 30” It might surprise some fans that my first work with Stephen King wasn’t THE GUNSLINGER. We first met at the World Fantasy Convention in 1979 when we were both Guests of Honor. #bookssky #art 🪐📚

I really love my fursona so much but having an uncommon species makes it extremely hard to find a good base to use in #vrchat. Not to mention I haven't the faintest idea of how to kitbash parts and don't own Substance Painter. Would anyone be willing to hold my hand to bring River to life in VRC?

Welp, that's it. I'm all done. Finito. I've caught up with my commission queue, for the first time in years. If you're considering commissioning me, now is a great time, since I will be able to get working on your piece immediately. If I get no bites, I'll be posting some YCH auctions soon.

The public transport was HEAVILY sabotaged in cities where Lula won or was favourite in the first round. pro-Bolsonaro mayors kept the buses from circulating and Esquerda Online estimated that 12 million electors were affected.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.

Think I speak for many saying there is a piece of him in the wings on which we ourselves fly. Godspeed, captain.

One of Warhammer 40,000's greatest artists, Karl Kopinski, needs help: "Trench Crusade reveals medical crowdfunder for Warhammer art legend Karl Kopinski 24 miniature creators are teaming up to raise funds for Kopinski, whose work defined Warhammer 40k and fantasy in the early 2000s..."

one thing I'm gonna say is: more horn sections and drumlines at protests please.

Started this one back in 2021... And found the will and time to finish it just now. Very happy with the end result, though! "Everything the Sun Touches", graphite, A4. #SciArt #lion #caturday #drawing #art #graphite
