It’s likely the artist behind that ECCC table paid at least

$450 for the table
$500-700 for lodging
$150 (+) for food/drink
$300+ for merch.

The financial risk is real! Be nice to the creators behind the table and even if you don’t got the $$ to spare, a kind word goes a long way.

There is so much mass psychosis happening on Facebook it temps me to leave every day.
Nothin but moms sharing ai cat videos, divorced dudes shouting about immigrants, and millennial goths who made being antivax their entire personality

*less about being epic*

Following up the last record was a tough assignment. That cover was so grandiose and filled with detail.

So our idea was to not even try to top it and instead go with a simplified more old school horror/fantasy art approach.
Like the new tunes about being epic more about being HARD

David Lynch saying ‘One day, the sadness will end. But I don’t think today’s the day.’

Can’t wait to hear the song that SOAD guitarist is probably cookin up about how our government getting us into a new war is bad but also people who protest it too loudly are equally bad

Cover reveal time!

Only example I’ve seen that is suspect. Text is tricky because sometimes ups artist will scribble nonsense in just to give the illusion of words on objects especially in the background. This being in the foreground looks very weird and should’ve been caught by the ad

Anybody accusing Magic artists of using ai in the TMNT deck don’t know what the hell they are talking about

People gotta learn the difference between “art I think looks wonky” and “art obviously made with ai tech”

Still insanely impressed any time I see this piece

Painting of Link with a million little gadgets and weapons from across the games. I worked harder on this in a 5 week period than any other thing I’ve ever painted. I think I almost died working on this lol

Happy Zelda 40th anniversary!

Why every movie trailer, regardless of genre or age demographic, gotta have some dude pounding some epic ass war drums for the soundtrack?
