We’re only nine months in. This chaos is unsustainable. Shit is going to break.

I'm excited to get back to working on the Summoner's Guide to the Necronomicon (Eye of Newt Books). I've had so many life interruptions and conventions this year but it's time to get back on track! Cthulhu Fhtagn! #cthulhu

Happy for you!

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom.

Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country.

(Published 2022)

That Cardboard Box in Your Home Is Fueling Election Denial

A previously unreported boom in profits for the shipping supply giant Uline has provided the funds for a deeply conservative Midwestern family to bankroll anti-democracy causes around the country.

There are some characters I wish he would never draw. Love his Spidy and Spawn stuff though.

The GOP is a hate group. Protect your trans friends. 🏳️‍⚧️

I’ve been wanting to make a pride dragon. I think I’ll start that now and donate proceeds to LGBTQ groups. More on that soon. 👍

This is too good to not have alt text

I"d rather be an X-man.,

AnX-Man is someone who has found
themself, someone who knows who they are
and accepted it with a grace and wisdom
many people Will never understand.

An X-Man might have been given a rough hand
in their life, but rather than letting that crush
them, they have found a way to rise up.

The X-Men don't care what you look like. They
don't care if you are rich or poor. They don't
care if you can lift a bus or barely lift a scrap
of paper. They know it's what's in your heart
that matters.

When everyone else tallies up the mistakes
and wrong turns you have made in your life,
and remind you of it every chance they get, the
x-Men say, 'We don't care who you were. What
c
w
matters is who you are NOW.

An X-Man extends their hand to those who
need it.

If yOU f feel you can't overcome the challenges
~
around you, the x-Men are there to run you
r
through the Danger Room and support you
every time you fall, until one happy day, you
stop falling altogether.

An X-Man gives you the truth you need
O
hear,
and the kindness you can't forget.

When oCiety scorns the colors you wear, the
X-Men say, let's dress up fancy and have a
yoddamn gala.

The X-Men don't erase the past. They
emember the Holocaust, they remember Jim
Crow, and they actively seek to make sure it
oesn't happen again.

Your family rejects you? The X-Men say, they
can go straight to hell. Come be part of OUR
family.

Other hero teams are often about protecting
wealth and the status quo and the government
and peace and quiet.

The X-Men are about protecting that one kid,
that one child afraid
go to school, afraid xO
go out in public, afraid
T
even the people
around them. They are about sanctuary, not
cages.

The X-Men say, love who you love, we'll be
there at the wedding, with the best gifts
and the biggest smiles.

The X-Men care as much about Ə
struggling mutant in a faraway country as
they do about the people they've grown up
with their entire adult lives.

They do the right thing when others don't
even know what the right thing is.

When you leave thiS room today, please
remember: we don't have a code we follow,
we don't have an oath we recite. We have a
core set of values; You matter, you're
important, you are valued. And if anyone
gives you shit, we are here to make them
regret it.

If you have an extraordinary gift in this
universe, you may, some faraway day, be
considered "WORTHY" to be a Defender, a
Champion, or an Avenger.

I'd rather be an X-Man.

How about you?

Have you picked a city yet? Does it have a favorite convention of yours?

JacobWalkerArt @jacobwalkerart.bsky.social · Sep 4

Im soooo behind on sharing. I painted this guy 5 years ago. Two weeks ago I drove him to Wisconsin to deliver him to his new home. It was bitter sweet but I know he is in good hands and in a wonderful collection. Thanks Kim. Cthulhu is now yours to command.

Back from Dragon Con. That ends a 4 month streak of being away from home for shows or estate stuff most days. So much to do here, but I’m happy to be back with my family and have the time to paint again.

It was so good to see everyone at Dragon Con. I’m already looking forward to next year.
