"You have to use AI." ...why?

A few more pages I haven't yet shared from BRAINS - which you can get for $3 today on itch as part of the winter sale. It is my love letter to brains (and hate mail to so-called AI) alexandragallant.itch.io/brains

Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.

2025 was one of the worst years of my life, I lost my job of 16 years in February (I'm still looking for a new one, if you know of any design/comms jobs), so while 2025 still sucks, my art has gotten a chance to grow and for that, I am incredibly grateful for the time #ArtvsArtist #ArtvsArtist2025

Did I use the @transitmatters.bsky.social train tracker to hunt and film the @mbta.com holiday trains on the Orange and Green lines? Why yes I did. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas y'all. And good transit to all traintracker.transitmatters.org?line=Green

Looking for a Christmas miracle for a kitty (aging parent situation) for Baltimore pals: (1/2) ""My mom can no longer keep Angelo (alas!!!) and we are looking to rehome him. Angelo is a total sweetheart. He is 6 years old, gentle, playful, friendly, and a lovebug."

Just finished this piece, a bit of personal work, digital illustration "Systems" #SciArt

I know she’s fictional but someone please tell tina belcher about the hockey show

I'd argue it's worse than a blank page, in the same way that garment pieces cut slightly off the grain are worse than not having cut yet. When a thing is wrong, it will suck your energy into making it Less Wrong, which is often not the same as making it right.

Off to Chicago for the holidays, if anyone has recs for food, cool art galleries or comics spots pls let me know! It’s my first time getting to visit the city 😳

there is a genre of person who hates AI in *their* field but sees how it could be useful in *other,* less prestigious, fields; ignore them. they are not trying to save the ship. they are just racing you to the lifeboats

Call me old fashioned or just plain old but I do think students need to learn to read, write, edit, and think without gAI BEFORE they ever use the technology. It’s incredibly disheartening to see unions working with tech companies, too, that makes anything you say suspect to me.

This is frankly obscene. A form of victim blaming. You cannot ethically put a lying machine into a classroom, tell students who have not LEARNED the actual MATERIAL being discussed to interact with it, and then demand that these students determine what is a lie and what is true. Shameful.

What do you lose when you don't think for yourself?

Two of the dozen comics included in this $20 bundle, I joke they're part of my spite series, "How to..." is about the time a teacher told me "building websites wasn't for girls" and I did not care to hear that, and then my comic, BRAINS was made out of spite for "AI" (and my love of brains!)

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

Stay safe out there y'all

Just some lil pals hanging out #frogby

I love SimTower so much. One of the nerdiest things about me as a child (and there are MANY) is that I used to hand drawn SimTowers for my classmates and charge them ten cents (artists: raise your prices!!!) for a drawing of a tower on wide ruled paper, college ruled cost extra cause more floors.

You can't tell me that 3D art isn't at least a lil bit magical #Blender

I started up a shop on inprnt - just a few prints up there right now, but going to be adding a bunch more this week as I go through 'the archives' (a pile of old art + a folder of old art), there's a sale on right now, too! www.inprnt.com/gallery/alex...

Finished this up last night - still working on the comic that it's part of, but put prints up here for now:

This Place is a Prison, These People Aren't Your Friends is a small look at places that were former prisons, jails, police headquarters and examines how they have been transformed, how they engage with the public and whether it is possible to do so ethically. Name your own price for this one.

One of the great joys of my year was the release of WHO DISCOVERED HOW TO BREATHE UNDERWATER? JACQUES COUSTEAU, my first graphic novel with @hudrewthis.bsky.social! Our book was named one of the best STEM books of the year by the Children's Book Council and National Science Teachers Association

Sunday 1920s Gasoline Alleys are all incredible works of art. I reproduced one in How Comics Are Made due to its brilliant use of color.

Wowwwww, this portrait of Rama Duwaji 🤩😍🤩

End of Year List 3 - Fave Books Read This Year Before I start, I'm going to mention these 3. Loved them all & their authors - magnificent @regretteruane.bsky.social, fabulous Francesca Hornak & gorgeous @kathrynsharman.bsky.social - but, w/my name in 2 acknowledgements pages, can't possibly judge!

love that software developers are advertising AI functionality in every single app now and it's up to you to try to figure out if they mean "this has spellcheck" or "everything you create in this app will sync in real-time to sam altman's personal laptop" or something in between
