I thought I'd update my intro/pinned post. At home I'm a recovering illustrator, current sculptor and nervous writer. At the day job, I'm a designer, writer, photographer, videographer, web developer, and so on.

I think this will be my last release this year—Harvalg.
This one took a lot of time and a lot of trusting in the process, for sure, but I love how it turned out in the end. I would love to hear your thoughts!

If you want to get started with watercolor yourself or know someone who would, here is my choice as a not-quite-a-beginner of soup-to-nuts materials that are dead reliable.
The small pad is for swatching and testing, the pens are waterproof, the brush pack has all the basics, Koi is A+

Just emailed Grove Atlantic with info and documentation on this scam, about which I've gotten two recent reports. It's being run by publishing scammer WestPage Press. Impersonating publishers with fake contract offers is a very common ploy for this type of scam.

On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

The Frozen Horse’s Tale~ concept designs for @realgdt.bsky.social amazing FRANKENSTEIN! In 2022 I started work with Guillermo on keyframes and concepts before production started, including the battlefield frozen horse. Later during production I designed it to be built life size as a prop for filming

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

Anyhow. This is a rant I am writing once every few years. Accurate visual knowledge of the natural world is important. It’s not just a nice to have, but can be key in further research and development.
We need to take scientific visualization more seriously.
