this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

If we can only have art from people who "aren't in it for the money" that means we can only have art from privileged middle-class dilettantes. Making art being a viable career is responsible for nearly all worthwhile art, and if it's not a viable career any more we will get drastically less of it.

The frogs will rise.

Enchanted 2023 Can we appreciate that one time I made a silly little comic about how Addy got her eyebrow scar? She was seduced by a siren and only saved by Edith in the nick of time. I wanna do more silly comics again <3

Hello! It's been a year and some change since I was laid-off from my previous job, and I'd love a new one. My name is Steve and I have 7 years of experience in the animation industry as a background artist and illustrator. I've worked on shows like Castlevania, and card games like MtG!

Artist be like if I shift this line 0.05 cm to the left, increase overlay by 2%, and move this character’s head slightly by 3° will make a life changing difference that everyone notices

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! I‘m Farnaz, an Iranian illustrator based in California, looking forward to working with you! Please check out my portfolio at farnaznadim.com and reach out to lovely Christy Ewers at The CAT Agency if I’m a good fit for your project. #illustration #kidlit

If I had known this gem was in the series, I would've started part 2 sooner. #MastersOfTheUniverse #He-Man

My new merch finally came in I'm so excited 🥺🥺 I can't wait to show it all properly to everyone!!

Happy Halloween from the Crossroads!🎃 May you have a bewitching eve, and thank you for all your support of Hades II and our team. 🌒🌕🌘

The Animal Crossing bat parade from my new leaf years is long. LOOK AT THE STUPID ONIGIRI ONE. I love it.

One day my time will come.

The way Newsom talks about trans people in sports and "unfairness" and "advantage" is the same biological essentialism that was once used by white supremacists to say that black men and women held advantages over white people in sports and thus shouldn't be allowed to compete together.

Excellent rule for life in general, really. Cops are literally trained to manipulate information out of you. And for all the chatter I see about their nefarious, underhanded methods for this, the truth is, most don't need to bother, because a lot of you volunteer that shit willingly.

The "Gargoyles" animated series premiered on this day (Oct. 24) in 1994 with "Awakening, Part One!" One of the best and most influential shows of the 1990s, this fan-favorite cartoon offered-up mature and complex characters, incredible casting, and strong story-telling! #Gargoyles

There's so much more to burlesque and drag than just feminine presentation, and some communities really need to learn that. Ostracizing other members of your community based on their body type, assigned sex or gender presentation is shameful. Your performance spaces should welcome ALL PEOPLE.

Comic about asexuality that I drew in like 2 minutes. #art #comic

Oldie dug out and redone just in time for the season 🦇. I’m gonna have it as a print available at Thought Bubble Festival in UK this November.

Sometimes I'll pause in the middle of a project and marvel at the fact I am being paid to draw a cute anime bedroom and an eggplant man framed by the American flag in the same night

I've been quiet but I have new things coming for Nebkon 👀

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

There's a lot of misinformation out there about the concept of universal basic income. If you want to be well-informed, follow me and learn about what we know from studies in this thread: bsky.app/profile/scot... Here's a UBI starter pack too: bsky.app/profile/scot... And here's a UBI 101 link:

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words. The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

transphobia is deliberately manufactured by fascists. It is not a natural thing that normal people believe in.

the amount of people I have to block because they forget they're in the replies to a post about imaginary people in spandex

I'll say it again, Art is communication. "Create for yourself" really means "Create art that communicates who you are." And one sided communication feels terrible. Commenting on peoples art/creations can be scary, I get it. But COMMENT. COMMUNICATE. We want to hear it. I want to hear it.

Every once in a while you see something so cool in a book you have to replicate it. I saw these Daredevil designs by Wally Wood last night and had to make my own character design sheets based on his layout.

I’ve set up a goal on Ko-fi for food and necessities while I’m job hunting. My disability case in in the appeals process so I won’t hear back from that for months. Comms and donations are what I rely on atm. Anything is appreciated! Thank you! 💖 ko-fi.com/aorticinkwel...

hey look, it's the reason your parents cooked meat into a dry husk, it's back

Instead of inktober, I propose just doing whatever creative project you really want to do and have been meaning to do. Don’t be afraid of people judging you or it not being good enough. As often as you’re able, set aside dedicated time to work on it like it’s school or a job. Goodluck.

Bonus art advice: Stop hating your art. That’s it. I’ve seen so many people completely give up on art because they hate their own work, and it’s sad as fuck. Stop comparing yourself to others. There will always be artists more skilled than you, and that’s a hard truth. Love your art anyway.

update about the cartoonists of color, queer cartoonists, and disabled cartoonists databases tldr: i am shuttering the databases and i am sad. www.patreon.com/posts/139743...

It's my birthday! As a gift, can I ask you to share my art?🙏 I love drawing vibrant fantasy illustrations, especially in the field of TTRPGs. And speaking of TTRPGs, check out the post below for more fantasy goodness ⬇️✨

One day I'll start posting my art again But for now, check out my luck in getting the last shiny Miraidon card at my local GameStop!!

this goes so hard

In most cyberpunk stories, life is cheap and hardened protagonists are used to killing. But Midori's not a hardened badass; she's a girl in over her head, fighting for her survival in dystopia. #centralia2050 #comics #webcomics #comicoop
