Up close with my cover art for HORROR NOT HATE, an anti-fascist, anti-hate anthology of horror comics and art supporting LGBTQIA+ and Immigrant rights! Launching 12/29 bit.ly/HorrorNotHate
Red colored illustration of a mass of writing horrors with many eyes and sharp teeth with a screaming face in the center.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Ahh, the beginning of a perilous journey. Dire, grim shit in which great adversity (and greater evil) is overcome through consistent trudging on?

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

I need to make a Magfest post soon! I’ll be tabling, I’ll have original art and prints and some books and a bunch of stickers, some patches, etc. and I’ll likely be taking commissions ✨

“Love it or hate it it’s here to stay” is a crazy thing to keep saying about a technology. If people don’t like using something it doesn’t have to stay we’re not talking about bad weather here

Doing fewer shows mixed with moving has kind of made this year a bit more prone to experimenting. One exercise I've been doing is playing with custom designing mechs for fun - this one is inspired by Armored Core!

Guess I'll post this again
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

Ah, larian ceo's buying as much time as they can to 'convince' people i see. Painting it as benefiting the teams, the teams who said they were against it and now have to be okay with it is just...eh.

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

GenAI users Larian forced to build Divinity around RAM shortage caused by GenAI
Larian's new Divinity game is having to be made with the current RAM storage in mind - a shortage caused by generative AI tools like the ones Larian employ.

Breaking: House Republicans pass Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill to criminalize doctors that provide gender-affirming care for trans kids. Her bill imposes jail time penalties up to 10 years. Now, it's headed to the Senate where it is not likely to advance as it would need 7 Democrats to sign on

One of the things that I really hate about these studio heads flailing around about genAI is that the devs and artists working under them that make the games they profit off of have to suffer for it on all fronts. I wish these dunces existed in a vacuum, and I wish their AOE was also so limited.

here’s the full spew
Daniel Vávra This Al hysteria is the same as when people were smashing steam engines in the 19th century. @LarAtLarian said they were doing something that absolutely everyone else is doing and got an insanely crazy shitstorm. I've even seen someone accuse us of using Al in KCD2. I don't know anything about it, except that I used Topaz Labs to upscale some of the Al elements from KCD1 and some of the old low res textures. I'm no fan of Al generated art, but anyway, it's time to face reality. Al is here to stay with us. As frightening as it may be, that's the way it is. Personally, it scares me the most in the music because you can't even recognise Al there anymore. On the other hand, you know what I hate most about making games? The fact that it takes 7 years and 300 people and tens of millions of dollars to make. And the fact that Tom had to spend 500 hours in the studio recording completely generic heckling and generic bars. If Al can help me make an epic game in a year with a smaller team like in the old days, I'm all for it. That game will still have an art director, writers, programmers, graphic designers, but they won't have to do the tiresome and boring tasks, they'll have to focus on the essentials. I have ideas for lots of games, but I'm fifty years old and so far it's taken me seven years on average to make one game. If Al helps me realize those ideas faster, I'm all for it.

the lead schmuck from warhorse studios (kingdom come deliverance) identifying a real issue (budgets and dev lengths are too high and long), misconstruing it’s nature (it’s “fact”??? that it has to be this way??), and coming to the conclusion that the dead brain plagiarism bot is our savior. fuck off

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.
