Every time sports things happen I see a ripple on my timeline. I don't go there but I'm happy for you/I'm sorry that happened (?)

You know what? 2026 is the year I'm not playing nice anymore. If copyright means so little to use A / I for playing around, here's one of his book for free: Color and Light James Gurney [English] : Free Download, Internet Archive share.google/qjDjFS6QhhZJ...

It’s my birthday yaay

Just a reminder that rubber bullets are deadly.

I often think about Jonathan Cooper's posts about TLOU2, that the studio ran out of seasoned game animators because its reputation was so bad and thus had to hire film folks who had to be taught how to put games together.

Burnout is genuinely life-destroying and I really can't say, on this website, what I think should happen to managers who not only let it happen to one individual worker but who systemically make it happen on large groups of workers.

I wish every artist a very "drawing something so gleefully stupid you cackle the whole time" at least once this week

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I sketch almost exclusively in ballpoint pen nowadays, and it's still my medium of choice for plein air studies:

some holiday wip, duality of line work.....

Maybe I'll be proven wrong later but Nolan's The Odyssey is like Shyamalan's Avatar The Last Air Bender to me

My professional artists peers! We got a survey request! Researchers at the University of Carnegie Mellon is doing a research to see how generative Al has (or has not) impacted your work and/or sentiments in the industry. Folks in creative fields only, please consider filling this out 👇

What separated from what I got from regular child doodling was Neopets and their drawing tutorials. I needed to draw my Lupe and Earth Faerie in my notebook in my homework over and over 1000 times.

Sharing some of my thoughts from the other site but man I'm really pissed off about this shit.

bowing to the altar before entering or just the lions being curious about the equivalent of telly for deities (the mini opera)? no idea but i find it adorable

Using gen ai for text and asset placeholders is not solving a problem; games have been made for decades with regular placeholders. studios using AI this way are just testing the water to see what more they can get away with - which will inevitably mean laying off skilled workers, to make worse games

Using genAI for concept art is so fucking stupid because like... that's where you get the cool shit. Thats the blue sky phase where artists make pieces of art that will be seen by a teenager later and change their life forever. Why would you want to start from mediocre. Why would you do that.

"only using Gen AI for concept art" as if it doesn't affect the end product is crazy, that's literally putting slop in the source.

the larian stuff sucks to hear a lot. you have to be a true all-timer loser to think generative AI is useful for concepting ideas or artwork. you let the machine do the fun part you dumbass. it doesnt tell me you think efficiently it tells me youre a fuckass who's given up on being interesting

It has been two years since my cat first started having bad health problems. This is a revamp of an older illustration I made as a fundraiser to get him treatment, which everyone very generously supported. Two years on we know he has IBD for sure, it is hard, but he is still going strong!

Please understand that all your favorite million-dollar IPs were created by artists that get nothing more than a typical company paycheck. They don’t get royalties on the sales and oft aren’t even rewarded with bonuses or anything for creating such a valuable brand.

This is patently false. How many times have you heard someone say, "my computer is fucked"

……有鸟焉，其状如夸父，四翼、一目、犬尾，名曰嚻，其音如鹊，食之已腹痛，可以止衕。 Some Shanhaijing creatures are said to look like Kuafu. That’s always explained as“look like a titan ” but I think it might mean they’re carrying many snakes just like Kuafu . #山海経の怪鳥30羽描く #30WeirdAncientBirds #art #illustration #水墨画 #inkwash #inkwashart

All I want for Christmas is for the worst people in the world to experience some consequences

I love seeing BTS like this bc it comes from a piece of art where you're like "How did he do that??" to watching carefully over the process and going "Ooooooh, so that's how he did that" and unlocking some new knowledge for yourself that makes art seem less impossible

Game developers were here first. Not executives. Game developers make games. Not executives. Game developers have skills & knowledge important to the business. Not executives. Game developers deserve to keep their jobs. Not executives. Executives are replaceable. Not game developers.

A lot of international media are now blaming substandard netting instead of bamboo scaffoldings. Which still reduces a multicausal disaster to a single factor - substandard netting - highly flammable foam boards - all fire alarms and firehoses were disabled - poor inspections - rampant collusion

From the inbox: local activists have taken it upon themselves to print and distro this story to the community. Absolutely love to see it.

Lyla update: she's crazy about head scritches. I'm working on convincing her that if she can qualify to be adopted out as a regular house pet, she'll be getting her fix every day for life.

Doodles for Hong Kong 🇭🇰 In response to the tragic Tai Po fire, I'm doing charity commissions. Anyone who puts over £25/250HKD into "Feeding Hong Kong" or Hong Kong SPCA can request a coloured doodle of any prehistoric animal 🙏

This is why Hong Kong is & always will be an anti-capitalist struggle. Residents of Hung Fuk Estate paid thousands of dollars for the construction. This $330M project went up in flames, it burned for 47 hours. How much did officials & biz profited from this bid-rigged project? $40 cheaper netting?

like, Grenfell is actually a good comparison! b/c this is every bit as cartoonishly, ghoulishly corrupt as Grenfell. moreover, there were countless ignored warnings here too! IT'S LESS DIFFERENT THAN YOU THINK.

So, they, as in the govt.: 1. Arrested the uni student who petitioned for independent investigation to the fire, accountability, re-eavaluation of safety guidelines, & continue support for the residents 2. Are still expecting the victims to pay off their mortgage...

I just became aware of this incredibly relatable drawing by John Singer Sargent.

I mean, if you're looking at the impressive and heartwarming grassroots initiatives to help fire victims and your first thought is, "But what if they're secretly organising a colour revolution?!" then you're showing where your priorities lie – and it's not with the ppl who need help. 2/5

I note with interest that it only took them a little over two days to deem public criticism of a horrific and senseless tragedy as cover for national security threats.

Emergency fundraiser for the recent hong kong fires Will accept as many as I can work on May need significant amounts of time to work on your comms, sorry in advance

The kind of evil of the government to hamper community disaster relief efforts, they're punishing the Hong Kong people for having ever dared to organize.
