A photograph of every human. Every dog. Every cat. Every oak tree. Every shark. Every Nintendo cartridge. All of our failures and all of our hopes. Blink, and it will be gone.

On the blog, I am continuing my Monday series of looking back at monsters that changed the direction of my career. Created 16 years ago when I finally began to figure things out. Next up is the Rhinostrich. christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2026/04/revi... #monsterart #monsterartist #monster

We brake for nautilus! “We usually stopped what we were doing whenever we saw nautilus, b/c they are such amazing animals to watch,” said #VisioningCoralSea Chief Scientist Dr. Robin Beaman of James Cook University. This enigmatic cephalopod navigated the depths before dinosaurs roamed the Earth!

For some reason "AI is just like watching Netflix" is back in my feeds so I took that as a sign to update my data tracking for Netflix. The company's energy use rose 1% from 2021 to 2024. Compare that to: Google: 71% Nvidia: 88% Meta: 96% Microsoft: 119%

These are the 4 things AI can do well: •Clean up your email inbox (badly) •Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party •Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself •Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday You can see why we need to base our economy around it

It's #pokemonday, and I totally forgot about the #Charmander I drew in my style fourteen years ago. Well, here is that #pokemon! I did do a #Charmeleon too, but I didn't like it as much as this one. christopherburdett.blogspot.com/2016/07/revi...

I love how my feed today is just fellow artists riffing on the new #pokemon starters, and I think to myself as society burns around us that I am so glad that there are so many rad humans in the world to watch it burn with. I think I gotta pick squish lizard, but, you know, you gotta catch'em all!
