this is the concept sketch. as someone who's body of work is used to train ai models (without compensation or consent), that is the last thing I'd do. It really blows that something I've worked at professionally for over a decade is now regarded/perceived immediately as ai slop - but, here we are.

NEIL WITH IT

nordacious@nordacious· 25d

BECOME UNGOVERNABLE🦭 I'm a bit late to the Neil party. I was tied-up finishing commissions while he was busy smashing traffic cones. But after many requests, I had to (very happily) oblige. Meet Neil the Seal ⚓️ I'm a tad smitten. T-shirts/prints: tinyurl.com/p5t4zr64 🩵

Retro-inspired illustration of Neil the Seal wearing a yellow knitted beanie and smoking a pipe, staring wide-eyed at the viewer while lounging among flattened traffic cones. Vintage lettering reads "NEIL The Seal" with the tagline "Become Ungovernable", set against a decorative ocean-themed background filled with squid, coral and marine motifs.

New threads for the weekend 🐸

nordacious@nordacious· Jul 11

The snooze is overrr ~ the last 2-3 wks I’ve been very busily finishing off the largest-scale illustration of my life so I’ve been very offline, a tad stressed, but very creatively challenged (in the best way). Missed you all + I’ll be back to my regular annoying schedule now 🐸🫶🏻

Spent all week being called Radical Leftist Scum. Anyway, here's my self portrait 🐸 (Not pictured: the drag queen story time he's already running five minutes late for). Prints: tinyurl.com/4vwt8m8f

Retro-style illustration of a green tree frog with a blonde curly mullet, sitting on a lily pad and holding a lit joint in one hand and a steaming cup of tea in the other. The frog wears a red flannel shirt and is surrounded by reeds, wildflowers, butterflies and a dragonfly. Large cream-and-green retro lettering above reads "RADICAL LEFTIST SCUM".

3 decades 🤡 No laws passed. Consistently votes against pensioners, workers, veterans, stronger Medicare funding, votes against taxing the wealthy. Pauline Hanson talks like a battler and votes like a boss. Even then, the bludger only turns up for 53% of votes. F*ck off Pauline | tinyurl.com/3yftx99x

I will NEVER vote for this xenophobic, incoherent, grievance-driven slop. Fear is not a policy platform. A new one for the One Nation never-voters - created in collaboration with @GetUp | Tees: tinyurl.com/bdez9p97

White T-shirt featuring an illustrated portrait of Pauline Hanson with a red headband reading “NEVER!”. Surrounding text reads “I Will Never Vote One Nation”. The design is rendered in a bold retro political poster style with black, yellow, red and cream tones.

still thinking about the time my brother made my food-allergic nephew a birthday dino-cake out of watermelon. 10/10 no notes.

Homemade dinosaur birthday cake made from carved watermelon, decorated with pineapple spikes, blueberries and strawberries. Created by a dad for his food-allergic son.

It's official - I'll be taking part in a High Court challenge against the Queensland Government. Full statement attached. Legal Defence Fundraiser: chuffed.org/project/1731... Details for the Fun Run this weekend: chuffed.org/project/1811... Free Palestine 🇵🇸❤️

2 images. The first shows Brisbane artist James Hillier (Nordacious) seated at a table, painting a hand-made protest sign. He wears a black t-shirt and holds a fine paintbrush over a cardboard placard featuring an illustrated figure.

The second image is a black background with white text announcing that James will be one of several plaintiffs in a High Court challenge against the Queensland Government. The statement explains that the constitutional challenge concerns Queensland laws restricting political expression and Palestine solidarity activism, outlines concerns about free political communication and the right to advocate for Palestinian human rights, acknowledges the organisers, fellow plaintiffs and legal team involved, and promotes fundraising efforts including the River to the Sea Fun Run. The statement concludes that Palestinians deserve justice and Australians deserve the freedom to advocate for that justice without fear.

walking past this house on my street always giving me a lil bit of that joié de vivre!

A close-up photo of vibrant gerbera daisies with thin, spiky petals growing in a garden bed. In the soft-focus background, a two-story beige house with a brick base sits under an overcast, cloudy sky. In the second image, a close-up shot of fiery orange gerbera daisies with thin, spiky petals radiating outward.

The Aussie Gaza flotilla captives (including Sam Woripa) have now been released from Israeli detention. Humanitarian civilians should not have to risk abduction, detention + military violence simply to deliver aid whilst Australia continues business as usual - no sanctions, continued weapons trade.

Alt text: Stylised retro protest poster illustration of Indigenous Australian activist Sam Woripa Watson from the 2026 Gaza flotilla. Sam is shown in close-up portraiture with light brown hair, beard, glasses, stretched earlobes, and a keffiyeh scarf, rendered in flattened mid-century modern pop-art colours and grainy screenprint textures. Behind him are overlapping Aboriginal and Palestinian flags against a pale blue sky and stylised ocean waves. Large bold text at the top reads: “AID IS NOT A CRIME.” Beneath it: “STARVATION IS. TORTURE IS. ABDUCTION IS.” At the bottom: “SANCTION ISRAEL. JUSTICE FOR PALESTINE.” Handwritten text near the lower right reads: “Sam Woripa Watson - Gaza flotilla, 2026.”
