gonna call this one done, I think 🤞

Clouds loom high over a distant lighthouse. A small sailboat passes in the foreground, and above a massive woman towers in the clouds, flanked by two owls. The woman is surrounded with pale drapery that mimics the color and shape of the clouds. She looks down upon the lighthouse and boat.

Taken from Sam Landman on FB but not sure if he is the artist. Graphic saying AI is for losers, reject fascism think for yourself. I can make Art that’s ugly and bad all by myself thank you very much

I am a hard-edged traditionalist in an Elfquest game. Of course I will do it.

Re-posting this to celebrate the American Black Tern returning to Northumberland again.

Final #OnlyBeautifulThings post. Some artwork I did a little while ago. American Black Tern from Northumberland in watercolour and pencil. #UKBirding #Birds #BirdArt

A watercolour painting of an American Black Tern. The bird is on the ground looking right to left and is in full summer plumage with a black head and body with grey wings and tail with striking white under tail coverts. It has long graceful wings and a sharp bill.

Third illustration I made for the Galadriel's collective Artbook. This one represents the moment when Galadriel and Celeborn agreed to become Lords of Lothlórien. I really loved to paint them as a loving couple! 🥰

Sketches and wips on my Telegram Broadcast Art Channel 😘

LORDS of LOTHLORIEN - The two elves Galadriel and Celeborn, in the foreground, from behind, look at each other smiling lovingly. He waves her to proceed to the elf who, in front of them and in front of a crowd of other smiling elves, offers them tiaras on a leaf-shaped tray. In the background they catch a glimpse of the elven city perched in the giant trees of Lothlòrien.

Folks call your Senators now!! A ban on any state laws on GenAi for 10 YEARS is gonna do unthinkable harm!

For those of you wondering what to say here are two posts you can use to build your own script (use alt script to cut and paste)

Need to find your representatives? Here you go:
5calls.org

User Zachary Berger recommends the following script: "I'm a constituent in the congressperson's district.
Al regulation is life or death for a lot of the Congressperson's constituents in creative industries, please make sure the section in the budget reconciliation bill banning Al regulation doesn't pass."

User Karla Ortiz gives information on the bill so you can point your senators where to look:

Call your representatives! Tell them just yesterday (R) Congressman Guthrie added a new text to the Budget Reconciliation bill to BAN GenAi regulation in the states for 10 years!
Hell, point
them to the specific section:
TITLE IV-ENERGY AND
COMMERCE (Part II: Al section, (c) moratorium)

Mask of Fools

I'm very happy they let me go with "terrifying baby" as the theme.

I had the honor of illustrating the Folio Society's illustrated edition Madeline Miller's "Circe," a book that is very dear to me and has been a favorite of mine since it came out. Feels a bit surreal, tbh 👀
