The Chrysler Building as the night begins in New York City, November 2025.
A photograph of the Chrysler Building lit up just as night falls on the city. We are facing east and can see the Chrysler Building. The building's lights have come on as the sun has just set. The sky is still a bit blue with a pinkish purple on the horizon. In the foreground of the photo we can see the Vanderbilt Avenue entrance to Grand Central Terminal. People are walking into and out of the station. They look like silhouettes against the yellowish-orange glow of the lights above the doors to the Terminal's entrance.

Another big huge deal for me at the Sonic Con was getting to talk to the lovely @thesketchsector.bsky.social in person about why I LOVE HIS ART SO MUCH MY GOD AND why I absolutely don't deserve this giant gallery print he gifted me ;____; LOOK AT IT. This is being framed. I love it so much ughhh.

Just about recovered from @sonicconuk.com and want to thank everyone who came to chat and trade cards!! Folks literally queueing to meet you is a very surreal, but wonderful experience for any artist. It means much more to us than you might realise to hear that someone enjoys the stuff we make! 🙏🦔

Cover art for "Drogune: Fortune's Lap" vol. 1. Wynd stands proudly and holds up her sword while a dragon-like figure rises behind her. Wynd is a elven girl with a long tail. She wears white pants, a blue top, and a billowing white jacket. Her green hair stands on end. She has gold-on-black eyes and smiles with ferocious excitement. The dragon-like figure behind her is white with a green mane and blue horns. Wings made of energy appear by its shoulders.

Absolutely the worst thing to provide an artist. Fluffy words and bad sketches are great, detailed "polished" work is over prescriptive ... and also, y'know, AI. What an insult.

Kinu Nishimura and Tsukasa Kotobuki say that some clients no longer simply give verbal instructions or a rough sketch when ordering an illustration, but now provide an AI-generated image, which stifles artists' creativity by limiting their scope for interpretation.

We investigated Pumpkin Mansion and found there may be more to it than meets the eye. Tune in for our first (and probably only) episode of Ghost Ticklers...if you dare!

Hi guys! After what happened, it's evident that my mom's surgery can't wait, so I'm asking for donations to help to gather the money for it

She almost lost consciousness last night and the insurance keeps refusing to help us

Every help counts 🙏💕

Sonic x Shadow Generations launched a year ago today, so here’s some rarely-seen promo art! I made this for Sega Europe to offer as an exclusive cover to EU media outlets. It’s the first time I’ve gotten to draw Shadow too! 🦔🔥
Sonic x Shadow Generations promo illustration. Sonic and Shadow are posing in front giant X, against a red/blue/black backdrop. Sonic, smiling, is facing us and giving a peace sign. Shadow is faced away with his hand raised and an angry expression.
