James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

A long 🧵

What an incredible thread. Thank you so much for putting this together.

I thought James was a lazy artist that took shortcuts. Now I think that is too generous. He is a flat out thief

Throwback thursday to this painting I did from one of my favorite books. The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.

I was thrilled to get my copy of the Stormlight RPG, the artwork in the books are incredible. Cannot believe I have to wait 7 years to find out what happens next in the series

This metal has been retired for a couple years, but I had a couple requests for it come in at gencon. Its like seeing an old friend. I always liked this piece, and boy does it look good on metal

I know the consensus was to go with the daylight colors, so I have to disappoint you all in choosing the sunset colors. What sealed the deal for me was wanting to play homage to one of my all time favorite landscape paintings, this Thomas Moran painting.

hope you all agree this was a good call

One of the absolute coolest things ever is seeing people walking around wearing your art.

I got to experience that this weekend at dragoncon seeing the graphic I made for the dragoncon blood drive

Extra special was all the people telling me how much they loved it and it being their favorite design

With dragoncon just a day a way, I thought now would be a great time to show off the design I did for the Dragoncon blood drive t-shirt!

anyone who donates blood will get a complimentary t-shirt with this design on it

#throwbackthursday to this mountain castle painting I did 2 years ago. It never got a whole lot of love, but I am still really happy with it. Heres hoping my new landscape performs a bit better

Only just saw this, thank you! Mucha is one of my all time favorite artists and I was absolutely going for that famous JOB cigarette poster

It's rare I get to play with art nouveau, so when an opportunity presents itself I try to run with it

I feel like i had a productive weekend. A new game store that opened 5 minutes from me like my mats and wants to buy some wholesale to test out.

And at another store I was at Saturday a guy bought one of the mats I brought with me on the spot. This one to be exact
