The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

I don’t have any formal training, and I bristle at the term “self taught” if applied to myself. I couldn’t have gotten where I am without a community to support me. We all teach, and learn from, each other. That’s how this works.

This is the character I most wanted to draw or paint for a Spider-Man set…because I’m still a 13-year-old at heart. Congrats to Zoltan Boros for his kick-ass handling of this art!

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

The thing about a lot of these never Trump Republicans is that, unlike a lot of institutionalist Dems who think the fever will break and we can all return to comity or whatever, these guys saw the rot up close and know the only appropriate response is to tear them out of government root and branch.

People are misreading him when they say he’s going to appeal Trump voters by *avoiding* “culture war” issues. He just doesn’t want to debate them because, to him, there’s no debate.

That’s very disconcerting to hear! What’s upsetting about it? I always get a creative charge when I switch to a new medium. I know you’re mostly digital, but maybe take a break and do some traditional stuff with no expectation of monetizing it? Just make art for play?

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening
