#portfolioday I'm Austen, I do visdev/bg design+paint for animation ✨

The full illustration I did for @bsky.app !!

Still not over disco elysium so I had to paint more #discoelysium #gouache #sketchbook

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

Hi everyone, I’m Camila! I’m an artist working on games 💛 Nice to meet you all :)

Living fossils

A pothos plant I painted to relax between work, work and book two :))

Sketches:

My students are doing a Movie Poster Assignment, and I'm also participating. I chose Do the Right Thing

Loot that drops after defeating me: - crumpled up movie tickets - a Kit Kat Chunky - an SPF lip chap that went through the washing machine - a ball felted of cat hair

Messing around with some dithering in Blender #b3d

sorry for being cringe I'm trying to enjoy being alive

Saw Adobe Animate was going down, so I figured I'd help anyone still using it with this immortal handy dandy graph

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

As of now we don't have a proper website to replace pinterest, but it's good to lessen your use of it in ways you can! I made a megathread because pinterest pissed me off with their first AI announcements, so if anyone wants to browse here ya go :D

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

i think I despise genAI because art is one of the things that has kept me alive and breathing and genAI is yet another way for capital to pervert art and stop us from connecting with each other

10/10 ICE protest sign

Smaug

just donated ✌️

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today. Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵

Wow. Seattle’s Critical Mass ride tonight for Alex Pretti.

🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️pop 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

KING 👑

Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

Show me how you draw armor! 🛡️

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO!!!!!

worm-in-a-rock god

Part of the secret of how this works is that, if you are in the "founder" tier of guy, a bunch of stuff that you count as "work" is stuff an actual worker would get fired for doing on the clock

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

Was sad we didn't get much snow here this year so I painted some ✨

The anger that speaks loudly for most critics isn't against things like usefulness for specific tasks but anger at the political economy of AI, the extraction, the culture, the denial of how it fails, the violence companies are perpetuating, the entire apparatus of harms that are a bigger priority.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

From Oakland says the comments, this put wind back in my sails never let them tell you this shit is useless

as per usual, patreon updated yesterday & I didn't have the energy to type the Long Password

“…researchers found that a text-to-image generator, when linked up with an image-to-text system and instructed to iterate over and over again, eventually converges on ‘very generic-looking images’ they dubbed ‘visual elevator music.’”

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

Just as a follow-up to this, here is a picture of the letter I sent my MP. I will post the text in the alt-text below if you want to copy use it as a basis for your own letter to your own MP. You can find out who your MP is here: www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en

Hootsuite's work with ICE is shameful. We proudly support Vancouver's Access Without Fear policies. Solidarity with everyone in Minneapolis and across the U.S. pushing back against xenophobia and fascism.

Abolish ICE! For your printer, in both color and black and white.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

If you need something positive to do to help your community right now that will cost nothing but time, go give blood. Someone is always in need. (A family member's life was saved by donated blood.) For a list of blood donation centers & blood drives within 20 miles of your zip code, search AABB:
