I haven't posted in a long time. I've been dealing with some personal stuff and I've been worried about AI, but I'm back. This was part of my thesis and now I'm reworking it. I'll post the final result when I'm done. Are you interested in seeing the progress pics, or just the final painting?

one of the best things about fascists is they tend to be very stupid, so you can hide a lot of your resistance in art, metaphor don’t be afraid to stop creating poetry is resistance art is resistance stories are resistance go create

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #4,819,845!

I HATE this. Part of the joy of reading is the elegance (or sometimes the crudity) of writing, the flow of language, the words CHOSEN. It gives the bones of a Story its vitality, and now they want to drain the body and leave just a dessicated skeleton. Ugh.

One of the negative byproducts of going to school for art and doing it as a living is that I've forgotten that it's okay if I literally only just draw cats. Like this is fine. (Thinking of making sticker sheets with weird little guys)

I’m not sure there’s anything you can say about a society that wants to protect kids from Anne Frank’s Diary but won’t protect them from guns.

this is one of my favorite and most frustrating drawings. when I drew it, I was trying to draw "like bill watterson" and make a cartoony t-rex. In other words, not my "natural style." I've tried many times, but haven't made another doodle hit the style like this one did. this one is special 🥹

So I had a custom NO AI stamp made recently, and I did a few extras in case anyone wanted one. They're in my shop: xxyxxy.com/items/gpDMun2C #NoAI #AntiAI #Stamp

Form to refuse/object in the replies; use Glaze & Nightshade!! Y'all know I won't miss out on a Meta dunk, but unfortunately Insta is the first non-nerd/artist app of choice when someone goes "I want to look at art"

i don't have anything new for today's #mayllennial of Furby so enjoy my existing children (and a previously unshared sketch) 😎

Day 5 of #Mayllennial and it's everybody's favourite cursed toy - Furby! I'm having a great time with this prompt list! This piece has got to be one of my favourites I've done so far though, lol! 🙃 ------ CommsOpen: doomweaselartcommissions.carrd.co #art #digitalart #darkart #horrorart #commsopen

Here we go! — presenting the prompt list for #Mayllennial! As y2k Justin Timberlake would say, it’s gonna be May, and I’ll be hosting a millennial nostalgia party all month. Draw, write, or create however much you want, however much effort you want. ☺️ Have fun!

reminder: there's a #mayllennial feed with the prompt list conveniently at the top! 🙂 Happy #mayllennial!

There's something about being hired to paint an undead basilisk who uses their ribcage as legs to crawl around like a centipede that makes me giddy with excitement.
