I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is something A.I. shares with crypto. They are both parasitic technologies. Crypto can’t exist without the U.S. Dollar and A.I. can’t exist without access to a robust ecosystem of ever expanding human knowledge.

Since The Savage Sword of Conan #8 is fast approaching, I have decided to show my complete spread from the later #11 story to hopefully get you in the mood! I've produced a color version of this which will be available at cons as a print too. 🙂

Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted… And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

"Eerie Statue", painted all the way back in 2015 for the #Hearthstone League of Explorers expansion. I was really happy with the sense of weight and striding forward in this one.

I think there needs to be a full campaign to elevate and celebrate public service and the work that people do on our behalf for the public good. We need to know what Musk's cuts will cost us, and the best way to do that is through story. Public service is beautiful! Let's talk about it!
This is a great idea. We should hear from everyone who has been affected by these layoffs and funding cuts. Community health nurses, forest rangers, cancer researchers, fish and wildlife workers, meteorologists, forensic accountants, VA docs, everyone. Make first person videos! Show us your work!
Every single fired/riffed person needs to make post or short video about what WE THE PEOPLE have lost bc their job is cut
Grieving is important. Honoring their individual pain too
MOVING public sentiment has to be about the loss to OTHERS to all of us
ONLY THEY can SHOW what we are losing to R’s

Here's another old #Hearthstone painting, Aberrant Berserker (the working title was Corrupted Berserker). This is probably one of the most dynamic poses I've ever painted and I was delighted when this ended up as a massive, mural-sized ad on a wall in Australia!
