A gentle reminder to move your bones

Short story idea I'll never complete based on a real-life encounter: Mary Kay consultant as the modern-day vampire waiting for an invitation at your doorstep

Stunlocked myself for a hot minute when I thought about just how many couples would be using chat gipiti to write each Valentine's notes this weekend. Godspeed out there, everyone 🫡

Happy to report we are limping along in 'rediscovering joy in sketching' territory. I produce so much stuff in my day job that there hasn't been much creativity left to spend on anything personally meaningful.

Surely you wouldn't regret replacing lyrics to "Kiss From a Rose" with "Shit From a Butt". Try it out. Kick the tires on it. Just see what happens.

@thatsadorbsyo.bsky.social just FYI, i've fallen prey to your soup posting and am now debating a rapid brewer :/

Frankly I think booing is a criminally-underrated tool for expressing displeasure. Both petulant and poignant, simple enough a child can do it, and yet an effective tool of annoyance by a concentrated gaggle of adults.

I just think we as a society should come together on the issues, mainly that it should be both moral and righteous to enthusiastically boo people using leaf blowers

Hey gang, I put up 50 community copies each for solo games VOID 1680 AM, No-Tell Motel, and Lighthouse at the End of the World, AND for my two-player game Wayfarer 1. Grab, play, share, enjoy. bannerless.games/voidam bannerless.games/ntm bannerless.games/lighthouse bannerless.games/wayfarer1

"Quickly bring your ideas to life with AI" sounds great to non-creatives and I get why that is. But it does not expedite or improve the creative process bc what happens is they see the first shiny output and get very attached to it. They forget that design is problem-solving and not decoration.

in case you're wondering how things are going, a creative director who hasn't offered any feedback in two weeks of communications showed up in the chat 3 hours before a deadline, flooded out all communications with a contextless dump of about 50 generated images, and then vanished again

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

started watching this niche show called the sopranos...how come nobody is talking about this???? seems like it should be bigger tbh...

I’m so twisted that to me they’re just a clown posse

[to the tune of working for the weekend] 🎵 everybody's getting canned at my job 🎵

In a prison knife fight with myself for one (1) atom of serotonin

"whatever you do, don't anthropomorphize the magic canister we have to imbue with living energy, if you give it a name, it's gonna be bad" and what did the party do? and what was the first thing to die?

tentatively digging myself out of the creative trenches with a new project i feel fledgling excitement about...it's been a hard year for personal work, my day job takes a significant amount of my creativity, but i've been listening to a LOT of advice from other pros and trying to adjust my mindset.

What a week.

MAX is ass, sessions have the horrible vibes of those trick timeshare meetings where you think you're hanging out with a friend and then they hit you with yet another AI demo

true life: i'm building my third corporate illustration library in 2 years on a timeline for ants

Nothing has made me feel more freed than preparing for the work conference next month, where a billion creatives are preparing to network, and having no personal brand to sell a single soul

Stop everything you're doing, it's --

Still riding the high of sending my players through a horrifying flesh-tunnel, surprising them with mystery fluids like it was a seltzer-spraying boutteniere bit, and watching them slowly morph into horrors, themselves, from the exposure. That's roleplay, baybee!!!

Updates from the corpo art mines: after months of feeding my work into an AI model and having official employees of The Big Brand adjust parameters, it still can't produce anything acceptable visually, in the correct format, and/or according to spec ✌️

I am opening up 10 very limited slots for some pet/creature portraits. These will be closing by the end of this week. I would love it if all 10 slots were filled! Feel free to share this around with anyone you may think would be interested in working with me. Thank you 🤍

love a good cliffhanger, so imagine my delight when my company decided to give everyone a month of suspense before they get to find out if they still have a job 😎

No real dog in this fight, but I didn't think the logo was that bad. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Been running the most hostile RP group I've ever experienced for the last 6 months, AmA

Maybe the most literal instance of “no matter where you think this is going, it isn’t“ I have ever seen

🖌️ Creative friends: looking for recommendations for 'skill up' courses/refreshers/bootcamps/etc., especially geared toward non-beginners. Can be paid or free. Looking to push through some burnout and structured work has traditionally been a good avenue for me. RTs welcome - thank you!
