Happy Werewolf Wednesday! Now don’t get sore knees down there! 🎨 by @mickeytheretriever.bsky.social

this is the last photo on my parents' video birdfeeder before it was mysteriously destroyed we may never know what happened

Well, finally got around to doing a reference sheet for my fursona. This was pretty fun! If anyone is wondering, the reason for the golden colour of his claws is due to nail polish. It's fashionable. 😎

I'm so fucking tired of this face. For the love of GOD Disney. All your female characters look the fucking same.

You furries calling Pawbert the Furry of the Year.... Y'all weak. Pathetic.

The Intermarché Christmas ad........ The animation quality?? The art direction?? Hello??? youtu.be/4jzaZk7EzZ4 (in FR)

Tech used to have an aesthetic and didn't track your spending habits

Finally! 🤩 Our position piece: Against the Uncritical Adoption of 'AI' Technologies in Academia: doi.org/10.5281/zeno... We unpick the tech industry’s marketing, hype, & harm; and we argue for safeguarding higher education, critical thinking, expertise, academic freedom, & scientific integrity. 1/n

Myself and @borkthunder.bsky.social having a good time at a cafe. I always trust local expertise when finding good places for food and drink when I'm visiting! I ordered a mango smoothie, truly fruit freshly-picked and ripened to perfection makes the tastiest sweet treats. 😌

Hey guys! Due to time constraints after I’m done with my current batch I think I’ll stick to non background commissions for the time being. Would anyone be interested in these?

sleepy

Not now

Calm down, Bitch!

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

While yes, "wolp-tober" is technically over but I hadn't drawn my werewolf Caleb in a while and I needed to warm up with drawing something not coursework-related this morning. 🌕🐺 I have the prerogative to indulge in werewolves whenever I want 😘

Pro tip: buy direct from Joaquín's website! If you want to use the kindle app, you can upload the epub file via 'send to kindle'! Stick it to Bezos and still get the best of both worlds

"In the U.S., 30 to 40 percent of the food supply is never eaten, wasting the resources used to produce it & creating many environmental impacts. Food waste is the single most common material landfilled and incinerated in the U.S." -US EPA In the Land of Plenty, scarcity must be enforced by police.

Google has decided that YouTube must auto-dub videos into English with AI, then remove my ability to watch them in the original language. They can’t conceive that multilingual people or countries could exist. 🙄 The more they shoehorn AI into stuff the more I hate these tech-bros. Câlisse.

“So you’re saying we should bully companies that use AI?” “Yes absolutely.”

The awesome @joabaldwin.com commissioned me to draw his characters Banook and Sterjall from the #NossSaga! This painting taught me a lot, and what a joy Joaquín is to work with ☺️ Thank you a million times!!🌻

For every review of Wolf of Withervale that says, “Disgusting. The love interest is a fat man. I was repulsed and couldn’t finish it,” I also get messages saying, “As a large man (or lover of big men) I felt seen for the first time.” Fuck the haters—make the art that is for you and yours.

At this point YouTube has reached a level of ad intrusiveness that makes it unusable. I’ve only been using it to look up specific tutorials, or interact with the channels I follow. On my phone, even with VPN and Adblock I’m still getting crypto scam ads every 2-3 minutes of watch time. 🙄

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The recursive misinformation loop of AI citing AI is the kiss of death to the internet as a source of knowledge. Stuff made up by bots is then cited by bots as fact, and each time the loop repeats you get more and more misinformation. Eventually, inevitably the slop will overwhelm the actual info.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

T. rex was formally named 120 years ago today. Hell yeah king happy birthday! #art

The company folded *a year ago* and they still took on new students?! Insanity 🙄 this is exactly the shady stuff that erodes trust in online art education.

So, I've been exploring my special interest of dinosaurs through working on some #paleoart. Specifically, the skull of #dilophosaurus, and boy this was a lot of fun! I'll have to try a reconstruction of the living animal, too. 😆

ESTO.

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

Story tonight on CBC about speed cameras being repeatedly vandalized. Evidence shows they make things safer, but opponents claim “cash grab.” Don’t like paying for tickets? Don’t break the law & endanger people. Claim cameras are about revenue? They only make money if too many people are speeding.

3 days left to back my art book! www.kickstarter.com/projects/oni... Special last minute addition here, working on a piece to add to the tier 4 print set! Will be added to the book as well. Classic T.rex vs Triceratops battle. RTs hugely appreciated. Thank you for the support guys!

Wow. Who knew animated films could have mass appeal. Gee whiz it's almost like the female poc director was able to make the film she wanted to make and her vision flourished/grew in the hands of skilled artists, animators, musicians and actors without Ai being shoved down their collective throats.

Audible is adopting cartoon villain levels of evil. They already take 70% (!!!) of all our royalties, and now they wanna fuck us up more. If you can, always get books direct from the author's store or from places like Libro.fm or Bookstore.org

"the laws make sense to us intuitively, partly because we’ve made our roads so unsafe.They individualise risk management, plonking the burden of keeping cyclists out of the ER on their flimsy fiberglass hats, and in the process absolving our politicians of making more impactful policy interventions"
