Just chilling in the studio and a friend came to visit…kept fogging the window! lol

Putting down a new 'sand mat' for Max the Gecko and this is what he does. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Why no. That's totally not in the way at all. 🫠 The sand mat is a good way to give him the grit and feel of rough terrain without using actual substrate that he could injest and get sick from. #gecko #leopardgecko #reptile

I've always wanted to design some neat backpacks - most of the ones I see in stores are kind of tame (or just for kids). Here's a couple I've been working on! Do you like the cute/pastel or the darker vibes? electrictigerclub.store/pages/ghost-... #halloween #ghosts #design

There’s a sneaky feeling that we must conform to what’s *out there* instead of trusting what makes our art and stories come alive. This is about that. open.substack.com/pub/jacobsou... #kidlit #kidlitart

Horrified that they have to face consequences for their theft? You bet! "If the appeals court denies the petition, Anthropic argued, the emerging company may be doomed. As Anthropic argued, it now "faces hundreds of billions of dollars in potential damages liability at trial in four months"
