My soon-to-be 10 year old daughter Gypsy has begun drawing an #InvaderZim comic.

She already has a better grasp on the characters than I ever did.

LEGENDS REUNITED!!!

NEW VIDEO UP NOW!
(Link in replies - reposts appreciated!)

By “legendS” I mean that FRED SEIBERT counts as two legends, because he not only created MTV, he incubated an entire generation of cartoonists that happened to include me!

I’ve worked at Disney.

Please raise your hand 🙌 if you’re NOT shocked that #Disney would be the first ones to crap out a series that rips off #KPOPDEMONHUNTERS…

Anyone and everyone should by prints by @rikkisimons.bsky.social .

I’m just now becoming aware of his heart surgery because I’m a horrible, selfish person - but regardless, buying his amazing art is win-win for all involved.

I posted four more prints to ko-fi.com/rikkisimons/..., including a print of my oldest painting from 1992. Trying to pay down medical debt. All prints $35!

A Print of a painting by me. I painted this in 1992 in color pencil, oil pastel, and inks. It’s my oldest surviving painting. Everything else from that time was lost in a storage unit.
The painting depicts Isabells, a strangling woman with red fur or skin and white dots. Large 80’s punk hair in black and white. She sits in a tree branch in red, pollen filled atmosphere. She wears biomechanics pants.

An illustration of a plush bat-whinged living possum toy crawler over a fanged skull. Cute! Pastel blue and pink and green and teal.

Painted in 2015. Sad mock turtle boy sitting on a tree limb. Holding green eye balloon. Bandage under his eye. Skinned knee. One sock. Teal and green swirls of sky.

A drawing of my character, the Mittelfaun named Primm and riding his trusty celestial white reindeer Wester. Primm has the head of a fox with ram’s horns. His little hoofed foot hangs over the side of Wester’s saddle.

“But I’m just not creative” some say.

YES YOU ARE!

It’s a muscle… you’ve neglected it, but it’s THERE! You have it! Build it back up! Nourish it! Feed it! Cherish it!

It’s where your soul resides.

And so, the willingness - nay - EAGERNESS with which so many people have handed their magic powers over to AI just baffles me into a stupor.

#AI

I’m endlessly awestruck by the human brain and its positively infinite capacity for creativity and ingenuity.

It’s the closest thing we have to “magic” in all of objective, perceivable reality.

If you do that, diversity happens organically.

I await the inevitable responses that somehow put a negative spin on this.

Going out on a limb here…

Diversity in storytelling shouldn’t be there because you’re checking boxes… it should naturally exist because you’re observing the world around you in an honest way.
