Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

Re: last repost. This is the Baryonyx bought by @artofheatherhudson.bsky.social. 😊

One more task for today: call your senators about HR 2616 The "Don't Say Trans" bill literally states it's "defending women from gender ideology." Cis women, I am deputizing you especially. Please make several phone calls to tell them to knock it the fuck off.

Today is the last day to comment to the FCC that LGBTQIA2S+ names, stories, identities don't need a warning label. This new potential rulemaking is an attempt at criminalizing the mere fact of being trans or otherwise queer, in the name of discrimination, bigotry, and persecution. Tell them no, now.

Hey non-Canadian pals! Looks like INPRNT has a sale on for the next day or so. Might be a good time to nab something you were eyeing. www.inprnt.com/gallery/apla...

ok if you see AI being used in idiotic or nefarious or unethical ways (especially in the journalism/media/publishing realm) please flag for me moving forward :)

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

This sounds SO cool

Oh good, I can post Izzard again

No child should have to grow up in fear of the President’s hatred and power to do them harm.

MedStudy's figure library has a lot of my hands in it. Tracing your own photos is often the quickest and easiest way to get something done, whoch is especially important when you're on a tight deadline.

#FossilFriday repost!

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

This is very cool, but the video has such an incongruous music choice it's kind of all I can think about

Here it is, a Bluesky exclusive: The goth legends of baby birds The best baby American Coot encounter of my life, 2hrs next to a pond dangling my camera less than an inch above the water, cut down to the best 8 secs, and slowed down to 25% speed, and set to Clan of Xymox' "Jasmine and Rose" 🪶 🐣

Nice pose and socks👍 Whenever I find wild little egrets, I admire them like “Hey, you have nice yellow short socks!” #birds

Now that looks good

I know I've been a little MIA lately, I've been working on several Artemis II commissions simultaneously 😅 Here's that plate but as a BOWL

The Dove Oil and acrylic on canvas (2026)

Opabinia in color! 🐡🎨 I did these in 2014 and didn't want to make a lot of changes in cleaning up the basic design, but I kind of want to do one with updated order.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Just a semi-annual reminder that the reason I closed my RedBubble was they allowed my storefront art to be scraped by LAION & ignored every email I sent to them about it. Since LAION says “we use links to images, not images themselves”, I nuked my store. If you have RB, you have been scraped by AI.

🚨 The keys to being a successful artist in 2026: - produce as many pieces as possible - make short form videos of you doing that ⚠️ What I'm doing: - spend forever on one piece - whining about pressure to make short form video

I've actually been mulling this over for a while and I think it's the perfect solution to fruit with vegetable vibes

The article is really interesting, but my favorite part is this painting of Benjamin Franklin being assisted in his kite experiment by middle-aged cherubs

As someone who’s mission for the past 10+ years has been to inspire compassion for birds, you have no idea how happy this makes me. It’s free/low cost, builds community, helps with mental health, inspires environmental consciousness, and it’s like Pokemon Go but irl, so it’s fun! #birds

Hi, artists of bluesky. I want to advise you all: the company TaxonWorks has admitted to using AI to alter a logo which was originally hand-drawn by an artist using a predatory work for hire contract which granted them ownership over the artist's intellectual property and rights to alter the work.
