“I believe it is not the least task that falls to those who genuinely study that they cease to be infantile while still preserving that aspect of childhood that refuses to be cheated.” T. W. Adorno

Hullo. I've illustrated games, comics, books, albums, magazines, etc. Been an illustrator since age 13. (And a lunatic since birth) The world needs enchantment, and I'm here to do my best to provide it. If you have a project I'd be suited for in 2026, I'd love to talk with you. thomassbrown.com

Thomas was raised by books in much the same way that Tarzan was raised by apes but with much less dramatic results. He got his first professional illustration gig when he was thirteen and has been working in the field since then. (Taking time out for meals and such.)

To join a threat to the Right that they never saw coming is a dream come true!

I find this encouraging, from @indivisible.org:

A defining feature of an emerging authoritarian regime is that it makes the opposition feel like shit on a daily basis. Every day, there is some new atrocity committed; some new institution attacked; some new democratic norm demolished. Some of it -- much of it -- we have little ability to stop in the moment.

But that’s not how to measure the health of an anti-authoritarian movement. Instead, we should measure it this way:

Are we more unified than we were before?
Are we bigger than we were before?
Are our tactics proliferating?
Is the regime’s popularity falling?

You mean HE didn’t grandstand or sermonize. Trump repeatedly made clear that Immergut is a “he”. And Trump, having appointed him, would know.

She’s rubbish, but I don’t think that’s the point here. The Greens need to be treated as serious players, not also-rans.

And their confused pop culture appropriations aren’t anything new!

That’s a really stunning bit of work. The hot and cold colours, the dramatically graphic design mixed with hazier and more sketch-like details - it’s really compelling!

A note for the brain: when you get to my age, you’re better off in the floaty-vat than in the creaky clapped-out body.
