Did you have an art teacher that told you not to draw anime or cartoons? Were you told that there's nothing to learn, and it's even to your detriment, if you continued to draw like that? What if... what if we did it anyway? Here's some #fanart I've been working on for my exhibition in September. 🎨

Sometimes, in our time of AI and constant and ongoing enshittification etc etc etc, I wonder why I bother making and sharing things at all. Then I remind myself I'm human and that it's reflex kinda like sneezing, and it just happens I guess achoo [ #art details: watercolour on paper, 2.5x3.5" ]

advice from one human to another: sometimes it's ok to take up space... even if you're not doing anything [ #art details: watercolour / watercolor on paper, 4x3", 2024 🎨 ]

Sigh. A strike notice was issued yet again. Dear Canada Post: please remember that you are a public service and you should pay your workers fairly. Dear fellow Canadians: please remember that Canada Post strikes have given us all better labour conditions (ex: parental leave). Support workers.

"Every artist in games knows how hard it is to make a living doing what you love. In-house artist positions have faded away as companies look overseas to produce as many assets as humanly possible ... Enthusiasm for AI-generated assets (that look like dogshit) are nudging this trend along."

notes from a pickle tasting

my top 4 video game soundtracks

"Today’s stars are action figures, not action heroes. Those perfect bodies exist only for the purpose of inflicting violence upon others. To have fun is to become weak, to let your team down, and to give the enemy a chance to win, like Thor did when he got fat in Endgame."
