Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

opening commissions again, looking to take on more work alongside my other projects. I’m the sole income right now and we’ve had back to back medical and vet costs I’m trying to keep up with on top of just normal bills, so any commission or shared post helps so much!

ive never seen vox machina or mighty nein but i crave that green guy

the appetite for comics has literally never been greater, the profile has never been higher, and the talent has never been as varied and as interesting and we still don't pay people what their labor is worth!
"Let’s say 20 years ago the rate for a page of pencils was $150. People still get paid that."

My work is largely in the book market, buuuut yeah.

BOOM! recently reached out to offer an IP gig with the following rates:
script $50/page, pencils&inks $150/pg, colors $50/pg
The one about comic book page rates – again. News flash: Comic book page rates are STILL stagnant, after all these years, and for indie cartoonists it's even harder

its after midnight so i’m less shy to say - if you have a podcast or twitch or whatever about animation or comics or art and you want a guest yapper: i have a mic

just had a recovered memory of this shed my grandfather had behind his house that he called “the banshee shed” and said it was haunted, and we couldnt go near it except for this one time when he shut us in the banshee shed for a few minutes

wonder what that was about

i purposefully avoided any of the Bumblebee/Breakdown stuff I got to do because the yaoi potential deserves its own post lol

some boards ➡️ final animation for episode 5 of season 2 of Transformers: Earthspark (Togetherness)!

I got to have a lot of fun with J’Bam in this one (we all did, really) and this coulda been a post full of J’Bam drawings.
Happy the 3D team ended up going more or less with my graffiti idea too!

hey commissioners! i’m in the middle of all your commissions but i’m trying to do them in phases so I don’t have to switch my work mode too often.

but they’re all in motion!
COMMISSIONS!

been years since i last formally opened commissions! whether you’ve been a fan of my work or you’re just finding it, consider having me draw your guy(s). i’ll do ‘em good.

Tell Congress to Oppose an AI Regulation Ban
This summer, congress attempted to bury a dangerous provision in what some lawmakers called the "Big Beautiful Bill." The provision would ban most states and localities from regulating AI. Thankfully,...

you guys seemed to like that Megatron/Prowl stuff, so here's the early animatic pitch for the moment. some of it made it to the final product, but a lot of it got changed around! (roughly timed)
