They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Being extremely careful about image/video attribution isn’t JUST important for giving credit to artists and creators. It’s also a way to slightly decrease your chances of spreading deceptive AI slop!

spotify wrapped day, aka look at your top artists list and buy something from their bandcamp day

They Might be Giants (like six times) Florence and the Machine (at the riverstage twice) Gotye (at Woodford) The Decemberists (in Calgary!) Gorillaz - during Plastic Beach, and I’ve tried to see them two more times and failed each time

been getting into using affinity, and the UI for vector editing is great. But when I want to open a file i created on ipad on desktop, it warns me I'll have to save it in a newer file version and it will become unusable on ipad. ehh?? should they not be keeping the 2 latest versions of it in sync?

expedition 33 is going to win every single category at the geoff keighley game awards, but dont let that fool you, its not actually that bad

I watched Escape from New York yesterday and True Grit today. I’ve unintentionally started a pattern, are there any other iconic eyepatch movies I should line up

frankenstein's monster (top) and del toro (bottom)

Oglaf is Australian!? I had no idea!

I hate when I'm like 'one solid day of rest will kill this cold' and then it doesn't. Not fair. I put the work in

chainsaw man deserves an entirely anime original movie that’s barely even trying to be canon where a they fight a vampire then makima is like denji you’ve taught me so much about friendship. and every action cut goes insane. like they damn used to make. like god intended

i watched possession a few days ago and I'm still in the 'staring blankly into the middle distance' period about it

I am obsessed with how kasumi yasuda draws hair

Reviewing the codebase of an old site, and it's wild how many things we used to have to use JS libraries for. Making a header sticky! Making elements next to each other be the same height!

Yesterday while I was driving I tried to use Siri to play a king gizzard and the lizard wizard album (which I own and is loaded onto my phone in the music library) but I forgot to specify which app so it loaded spotted and played… this. Grim

actually our AI programs are like people so its racist to say you don't like them. anyway would you like to buy one

greta ily what an outfit

I don’t understand why ps5 games can load almost instantly but I have one blu ray that takes literally two minutes to load on the same device (and had egregiously slow menus). Why is this one blu ray so sick

a great way to avoid having a wild crashout on the internet and posting through it is to read my piece on how banksy got to the high court stencil that won over so many of his skeptics last month

I’ve wanted one of these silly turntables for ages and I finally snagged a used one for a massive discount. Very pleased!!

(tmi) I have the perfect cup for drinking colonoscopy prep

Went to see Weapons because there’s a scheduled power outage happening. At the start I was concerned I’d be too creeped out to come back to a pitch dark unit. By the end of the movie I did not feel that way, lol

can you believe TMBG wrote this over ten years ago, not about anyone specific? so handy www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSQ8...

the dramatic reading is Good

a targeted ad campaign has never worked on me faster (saw an instagram ad for migi shirts yesterday)

been using webflow this week (against my will) and it's such a weird mix of 'wow that's quite intuitive and good actually' and 'I can't do (BASIC THING)!? I WANT TO WALK INTO THE SEA

it doesn't get mentioned all that much in books on drawing or comics, but i don't know any technique that's more useful than walking away for an hour

I made a death stranding cake with an official marshmallow cryptobiote, coral and chiral crystals #deathstranding

don't mind if i do

devo I might not make it to comic street this weekend - it's my fav brisbane arts thing :( I love comicssss. Please go and buy all the local comics on my behalf comicstreet.com.au

Almost at the point where I don't think I'll start a new project with sass again. Just did a small project with pure css and not needing to worry about building anything was so nice

here’s just a list of numbers

i finished reading hellblazer dead in america and it sent me into a brainrot hole where I read almost all of hellblazer and and some swamp thing and some superhero crossover reboot mess and rewatched the movie. here is some of the brainrot on the page #hellblazer #art #fanart #johnconstantine

I love the curated toilet playlists that GOMA puts on in their bathrooms. Yes I would like to stay immersed in the tone of the current art exhibition while I pee

comics are my favourite. I love no medium more than comics. and i would like to smash the editorial departments of dc and marvel comics with big hammers

I've been reading through hellblazer and the rebranding journey from hellblazer > constantine > constantine the hellblazer > THE hellblazer > hellblazer is pretty funny

Gen AI sucks and would Miyazaki agree, yeah sure, BUT that quote about "an insult to life itself" is specifically about body horror being ableist. Someone procedurally made 3D bodies flail around and said "these could be zombies" and he said "that's really mean." A completely different valid take

I’ve been reading Hellblazer and I am at peace with the fact hat for a comic that has run this long, different creative teams will change the tone and characterisation repeatedly. But I cannot forgive this writer for deciding John can DRIVE if he really needs to

yep I'm good to go back to work after being sick my css:

Feels weird that I've now read several huge swathes of some marvel/DC comics and now I have opinions on what 'runs' are good. For a long time the idea of a single story changing creative teams put me off really engaging with marvel/dc much at all

a sure fire way to trigger some kind of medical crisis is to book five live performances in one week and look forward to all of them very sincerely

Thanks to @wrenegade.bsky.social for lending me this precious treasure so I could enjoy the Ado concert

been trying to read cape comics and running into all the classics: crossovers with things I don’t care about, sudden series rebrands that make it unclear what to read next, mid series artist swaps, storylines relying on knowledge of decades old events, misleading cover art, etc
