Mamdani's revolutionary idea that has entrenched power scared is that he wants to a.) listen to people and b.) help them.

I don't want to be a small business owner, I just wanna get paid to make stuff that I'm good and enjoy making.

I miss playing video games 😭

We need more rich people with normal interests like "your movie sounds neat" instead of, like, white fertility rates.

People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

What the hey, I’m on an art-posting roll so I might as well share this little guy today too. A happy little ace seal! #animalart #seal #pridemonth

Wishing everyone a fantastical Pride month! May it be full of hope, joy, and the steely resolve to stand together no matter what the future has in store. #illustration #pridemonth #dragons

Been trying to work hand-lettered art into my drawing routine lately—besides being an enjoyable challenge, it also offers a venue for venting some of my frustrations with the world at large. #illustration #handlettering #empathy #lovethyneighbor

I have been struggling with humanity as a whole for a lot of reasons (as I’m sure most of us are), but every time someone brings a rescued critter to the front desk at work I’m reminded that despite it all, there are still kind and compassionate people out there.

This is good and I do believe people who sincerely regret making bad decisions should have the opportunity to redeem themselves, but hoooo boy does he have a lot of work ahead of him. What a way to trash your reputation in less than 24 hours. Just nuts that he ever thought this was a good idea.

Shoutout to everyone who choose to create in spite of everything

actually i kinda *do* think using genAI should be such a social faux pas that the user is marked as a pariah and no longer feels welcome in the community. "AI is bad" is no longer an abstract (it never was), my city has been under a boil water advisory for a week because of AI data centers

I spent $72 filling up my gas tank today. My SEDAN gas tank. It was excruciating. And yet that’s money the billionaires bleeding us dry wouldn’t even bend over to pick up off the sidewalk.

I am working on *all* the things right now, but I should actually be able to share some of them soon. In the meantime, have a new sticker WIP~

Hi hello does anyone want to pay me a bajillion dollars to illustrate cute animals because wow do the financial hits just keep coming and I am so, so tired. Love having multiple things in my very necessary car break simultaneously, so fun.

The reason why the sketchy drawing is better than AI reference are the economical choices made. The person only drew what was most important and nothing else which gives clear direction! Please do more of this!

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

good tweet

I will never forgive AI for destroying one of my favorite emoji/symbols the humble sparkle

I feel like this post should act like a lightning rod that awakens the corpses of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, & Quincy Adams as zombies, who then shamble to the White House to express their displeasure. Possibly some of the other former presidents, too, but especially those guys.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

LRT: I have seen these vehicles twice around town and they make me SO HAPPY anyone who hates them hates whimsy and that’s just sad

This is the best design, every car should look like this. All vehicles, buildings and objects should look like this.

I don't want to shoot videos I don't want to post tutorials I don't want to show my process I don't want to pour varnish I don't want to turn my canvas I don't want to record my screen I don't want to cultivate parasocial relationships I just want to make pictures and shitpost

This is what going on the internet used to feel like

Watching Christian Nationalists tell the POPE to stay out of politics is making me want to scream at an ear drum-shattering pitch. You don't get to divorce politics from morality when it's convenient to you. Your politics are a direct REFLECTION of your morality.

I use Siri for a few basic tasks (setting alarms, timers, reminders)… and I thank her afterward. It’s a reflex. AI + kids is a massive problem, but so is poor parenting.

This whole mess is mind-boggling. Surely it’s better both creatively and economically to have a core team full-time that understands the ins and outs of such a complex franchise?? This will absolutely hurt Marvel and Disney in the long run (and probably the short run).

Purely by coincidence I was sorting through some childhood art last night, so have some more #Wishbone fanart, circa 1999 :)

Realized I never posted this piece to bluesky—some #Wishbone fanart from a few years ago! This little pup with a big imagination *was* my childhood.

My sister sent me this last night and I am so flipping excited!!

Somehow these drug-fueled revelations make people nicer to inanimate objects than other people

Good lord, what is it with writers who see social commentary in stories as a zero-sum game? That it’s either completely absent or shouted at you with a bullhorn? The subtle social commentary in PHM is one of the things l loved about it! I guess we have Lord & Miller to thank for that.

Maaaan, I knew a certain Big Name Character Designer whose work I’ve long admired had started dabbling in AI… but seeing what boils down to an “adapt or die” post on IG is just so depressing. The shortsightedness and failure to consider the damage gen AI is doing is just infuriating.

I’ve been keeping pretty busy with freelance work & some long-term personal projects, but what was supposed to be a quick warm-up doodle evolved into something a little more detailed this afternoon. There’s something relaxing about noodling around with colors and blobby shapes for a little while :)

This is massively disappointing. I’ve got an account with @ko-fi.com and while I haven’t done much with it yet, I had plans to bolster & promote it this year. Guess I’ll be looking for alternative options… I thought they were one of the few GOOD sites left out there, sigh.

Saw Project Hail Mary tonight and I loved it in a way I haven't quite figured out how to articulate yet, but it is absolutely a balm for the weary soul.

I have no plans to watch the new HP series, but I did watch the trailer out of morbid curiosity, and... you know how foreign animation studios sometimes put out clear knock-offs of Disney films, hoping parents will buy them by mistake? That is the trailer's whole vibe. A complete knock-off.

I am excited to share that the entire Apocalypse Parenting series has been picked up by Tor Books for publication. You’ll be able to find the paperback for Book 1 in physical bookstores on August 18 of this year, simultaneous to the eBook release of Book 5! (Bought myself a sweet hat to celebrate!)
