I haven't posted in a while since I've started work, no promises but I'll try to drop stuff every once in a while. Here's another process practice I've done a while ago that I never got around to posting.

I know many things are awful but here is one genuinely useful and helpful thing you can do. No matter their party, your representative needs to hear that trans people and our families are not alone and this bill is an unjustifiable and extreme threat to criminalize the health care we need to live.

Show me 1) a photo reference you took yourself and 2) the art you made from it! Reference making might be one of my favorite parts of the process. Also I misread and thought it said reference you took "of" yourself. Which is why I chose this one in particular 😜

Do you agree that AI should p*** off this Christmas! My mini linocuts make great, affordable little gifts. They're totally handmade; from drawing, to carving to printing and are also on handmade khadi paper (not made by me).

Rockstar co-founder and former Grand Theft Auto writer Dan Houser has likened AI to mad cow disease, and claimed that humanity is being pulled in a direction “by a certain group of people who maybe aren't fully rounded humans.”

Hey artists! With the holidays around the corner I'd love to get some spotlight on creators shops instead of supporting big businesses. So if you've got a kofi, a shop, or comms open please share them here! 🛒 Would love to have a lil thread for folks to go browsing and support artists! 🎨💵

I feel like new Defunctland videos are like whale falls — massively well-researched documentaries, landing on us in times of need, that nourish a small ecosystem for a sustained amount of time.

There can never be too many patron saints of Hating ChatGPT. If Pope Leo declares St. Remedius to be the first, I’d rejoin the Church. (Your moment of horror: 40 years ago, I almost joined the priesthood, so this offer is saying something.)
