A new take on the logo for my "Starship Hulls" IP. I'm sure I'm violating all sorts of rules that professional logo people live by, but I have to admit I enjoy making these sorts of things even if it's not my area of professional expertise. https://artofsoulburn.artstation.com/albums/18131

US Copyright Office Issues Rules For Generative AI
The US copyright office has decided how copyright works for Generative AI, and so I did a short video explaining the major points. Very important for anyone with a career in art.

Emerald City Comicon 2023
Just finished 4 days of manning my booth at Emerald City Comicon it was a huge success. Sold the final copies of my "The Story of Inc" narrative artbook, so now for the first time in like 5 years I don't have a single hardcover book left in my garage. Also sold a ton of prints. So I'm basically out of stock on everything and next year can start fresh with all new projects and not a ton of old merchandise to sell. Thanks to everyone who visited, including a lot of old Monolith buddies, and thanks to the Comicon Islanders who hosted me, had a blast with you all.
