Here’s some fanart I made of the 1990 movie “The Witches”, done in 2021 in Clip Studio Paint

Revisiting an old favorite (the 1990 movie “The Witches”) for some Halloween tattoo designs 🎃❤️

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

Here are some available tattoo designs that I made! Inspired by the Japanese Dogwood tree, these floral arrangements are ready to adorn your body. 🌸 These will only be tattooed once, first come first served.

Israel bombed a hospital. Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded. Israel bombed the hospital again. Live on TV. Read that again. Our government’s legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

If you’re going to pick a personal post to like solely to promote your course/vitamins/tours/whatever to me, I will screenshot your product to make sure I NEVER get it and follow up with a block. It’s cringe, it’s pathetic, stop it. *rolls up newspaper*

I think this lip sync tutorial can still help many, so here you go :)

Portfolio update : The Mirror of Pride "She's been following me for several days; I only see her at dusk. She always stays about ten paces away. When I confront her, she claims to be my shadow. I then asked her if I was her light. She replied that I was confusing my pride with her patience."

Many of you still don't get how these Gaza fundraisers came about & that they are more about you than about Palestinians in Gaza. I keep explaining this in every podcast I've been on lately...but let me write a thread as well: These fundraisers exist to snuff out your relationship with Palestinians

Alongside tattoos I've been working on various commission and here's one I can finally share! This one was for a birth announcement card I had the absolute pleasure, and honor, of making. 😊

Welp, I finally was brave enough to advocate for myself and get a referral for a breast reduction, only to find out that even with a referral my insurance won’t cover it. Back to square 1. 😭

IG algo: “I see you liked a cat photo so here are 300 reels of sick and already deceased pets for you to cry over for literal days” 💀

I know it’s bad that this page, a supposed art page, just features rants but nowadays I look at something I finished and then take inventory of everything I need to do to post it: resize, glaze, nightshade, alt text, a catchy blurb with it that avoids certain words, maybe turn it into a reel…

Me and the three people who read my skeets

one reason i do not want to be a professional artist anymore is that i don't want to rely on income from people who have no money and are constantly afraid of the end days i would like to be paid now by people with lots of money and have like a nuclear bunker with fake trees and a waterfall in

I remember when people were telling me when doing a Google search to not click the first few sponsored links, as those clicks cost the website owner money. Now, I can’t even get people to ignore the first AI blurb and click a website link instead, as a lack of traffic to used sources is bad.

Anyone else hesitant to ever post wips because it’s not uncommon to scratch the whole thing and start over at the halfway point? 😅

"the fuck do you mean she's straight?", a staple of the RPG genre

I just spent a little while blocking the plethora of AI ads IG was feeding me and now all the ads I get are manosphere bullshit. It’s almost as if they WANT me to delete my account. 🙃

I thought you'd never ask.

At least @vicmmic.bsky.social seems like a more benevolent boss than I am. (I am self employed)

The Pokémon that runs this account

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the term “neurodivergent” is not a catch-all term for ADHD and autism, it also includes OCD, NPD, left handedness, Down syndrome, Alzheimer’s and so forth. Also, one person cannot be “neurodiverse”, only a group of people can be.

My first and only mermay so far this year >0< but at least it's a banger LMAO will be back for another stream from 1pm tomorrow, I'll be working on this month's sticker club! Thank you to @redstrawbaby.bsky.social for the raid!!! 🐱💚💚💚💚💚

I’m in my “grumpy hag retreats to the woods” era 🧙

Anyone else picking up new hobbies from the UK Endangered Crafts list? I signed up for a stained glass class in August, will try to find a historic stained window class too and have another peek at lithography and hand engraving, which I've tried already. 👍 www.heritagecrafts.org.uk/categories-o...

Today was my turn to get tattooed again and I just want to formally apologize to anyone and everyone I’ve tattooed around the hipbone and ribs. 😮‍💨

I realize I am back at the point where nobody but 3 of my friends sees/reacts to what I post so I may as well go back to sharing mundane things only they care about because that’s more fun than trying to play the game and losing constantly. Here is the local duck throuple that adopted me. 💖

I imagine I'm not the only person who sees this video and immediately flashes back to the iconic photos of people with shaved heads in Nazi concentration camp barracks stacked one on top of another. Not trying very hard to buck the charges of being kinda fashy, eh?

Meta statements: “we’ll be throttling the reach of people that post a lot of stories and accounts that have been on IG for long. We will also continue to shadowban certain content.” Tattoo marketeers: “the reason why YOU don’t have enough FOLLOWERS is because you don’t know your AUDIENCE!” 🙃🙃🙃

Getting pretty tired of (successful, paid) artists telling others to leave certain platforms. If I’d leave Twitch, are you going to be paying my bills? If I delete my Instagram will you promote me on new platforms? Or are you just yelling stuff from the sidelines? 🤷🏼

Me: *wondering to myself why I feel so much resistance to make a doctors appointment* Also me: when I was already suffering from chronic pain/tension headaches as a kid my parents hired a dowser that concluded there were too many earth rays crossing my bedroom, instead of taking me to a doctor.

I strongly suggest that if you dislike this feature, you write a quick ticket saying so. Annoy the fuck out of them. ⚔️ support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

Discord has apparently added generative AI "apps" users can use to modify any image posted in any discord server. On by default, no way to disable them, no moderation tools. Fuck discord, support artists (discord sure doesn't).

please please call. myself and so many people I care about rely on medicaid

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"
