Perseverance, resilience, enlightenment, tranquility, rebirth — things we could all use right now. I had to redraw each lotus petal 5 times because my lines are still wobbly, but drawing the hatching for the shadows was peacefully therapeutic #drawing #digitalart #art #artwithflo #procreate 🪷

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

This appears to be the full video of the Chicago delivery worker. It actually appears that an agent tries to assault him after he curses the Dear Leader Kim il Trump to their faces.

Something about filling in tiny squares to make a pixel #drawing is incredibly relaxing and fun #art #digitalart #artwithflo #procreate

For anyone who was unable to watch on TV or didn't want to watch on ABC: youtu.be/c1tjh_ZO_tY?...

BREAKING — Notices for the Disney+ price increase went out at noon ET today, confirming my scoop from last night. Details: www.vulture.com/article/disn...

As a coder this is also what I imagine vibe coding is like

This week definitely needed happy little trees and fluffy clouds done in a fun, wholesome felt style #drawing #digitalart #art #artwithflo #procreate

Millennials got a double bonus tonight with a superb The Daily Show and the much appreciated return of The Colbert Report's "The Word"

This segment was so brilliant all the pundits on the right won't understand that it's satire (for now...)

LiveAI demo fails on the first prompt at Meta Connect 2025. #Meta #AI #LiveAI

Biggest crybabies on the planet 🙄

one of the clearest signs you're dealing with a strong and principled political movement is when they want to make it illegal to make fun of them

I never go out of my way to 100% the achievements in a game EXCEPT when they follow the natural progression & when I love the game. I completed the final 2 achievements for #DAtV and discovered a brand new puzzle room! One of the final secrets in a game I spent 100+ hours in #DragonAge #Veilguard

Glowing neon cat! This was pretty fun to draw using a photograph as a guide #drawing #art #digitalart #artwithflo #procreate

Cicada shell in the yard! Lived in Texas for a while but didn't spot cicadas until 5 years ago and had no idea about cicada shells until Animal Crossing: New Horizons #insects #nature #bugsky

It was hard to get into the #drawing mood this past week, but I do enjoy the opportunity to draw rectangular windows exactly the same way I did as a kid. Getting better at trees though! #digitalart #artwithflo #art #procreate

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

Another lesson on #drawing faces this week. After finishing I wasn't happy and made the jaw bigger, which also required adjusting the shadows/lighting. But with the face bigger, the mouth seemed too small, so I also had to make the lips bigger #digitalart #art #artwithflo #procreate

For context, a government study in 2010 found that federal grand juries indict 99.99% of the time. I'm guessing this rate is going to decrease after this admin

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

Colorful houses #drawing this week and also ordered a screen protector specifically for writing/drawing since the glass ones feel too slippery #digitalart #art #artwithflo #procreate

"What if the real doomer scenario is that we pollute the internet and the planet, reorient our economy and leverage ourselves, outsource big chunks of our minds, realign our geopolitics and culture, and fight endlessly over a technology that never comes close to delivering on its grandest promises?"

Impressionistic lesson to cap off a stressful week. I do enjoy not having to obsessively worry about making sure each stroke is perfect, although lighting and shadows and all the tools you can use to implement them still feel pretty complex #art #digitalart #artwithflo #drawing #procreate

Is it really that hard for big companies not to be evil? "'It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,' according to Meta’s 'GenAI: Content Risk Standards.' Meta said it struck that provision after Reuters inquired about the document...."

Like most of the episodes, highly informative/infuriating. But I always appreciate at the end there's a "What can we do?" segment, which in the case of ICE is: - Film/record if you can do so safely - If confronted by ICE, say only two things: "Am I free to leave?" and "I want to speak to a lawyer"

Dipped into the r/ChatGPT subreddit for schadenfreude on how bad the GPT-5 launch was & found a shocking number of posts about people lamenting the removal of 4o b/c they treated it as a close, personal friend (or even closer). We've failed people if they are turning to LLMs for comfort

Pretty surprised to learn there is actually a way to structure lips using just circles and ovals. This was a fun and informative lesson on realistic lips. Kudos to artists who can figure out all this blending, lighting, and shadow work on their own #drawing #digitalart #art #artwithflo #procreate

Received my 1st physical issue of Game Informer yesterday. Felt kinda bizarre at first with how media has shifted, but reading the articles last night reminded me how much fun I used to have poring through gaming magazines in-store as a kid. Looking forward to the rest of the year @gameinformer.com

You can now get the ebook version of Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment (a New York Times bestseller!) for just $3, which is less than my coffee cost this morning. This week only!! www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/jason...

Instructor: "Sketch out the bodies of the cats" Me: proceeds to draw the roundest, fattest cats ever This took a while b/c I went back after coloring to carve out necks & drew bigger ears b/c otherwise these cats looked like hamster balls #digitalart #art #artwithflo #drawing #procreate #wallpaper

DOGE is gonna cost the US and organizations billions (and potentially trillions) in revenue over the next decade, future lost benefits from cuts to NIH and the CFPB, and has already resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide due to cuts from USAID. Always hold them accountable

Absolutely hilarious as a Texan. Finding out the problems in California are grossly exaggerated when you realize homeless people exist in other states and Texas is not some cheaper paradise. "It's hot as f--k. The second we ran out of power, the house was 90 degrees and bugs came in immediately."

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

I've always dreaded drawing human faces because they always seem deceptively complicated, so this tutorial focusing on a cartoony face was a nice intro using guidelines and simpler features. Drawing hair and cutting out strands was unexpectedly fun #digitalart #art #artwithflo #procreate #drawing

I haven't used Microsoft Paint in 10+ years since switching to MacBook but finding out it has AI integration now still makes me sad

I appreciate Hasan for approaching this "debate" in good faith, even when people were telling him (a US citizen) he should be deported b/c he's not white. But this show/format is terrible; you can't have substantial dialogue on a serious topic in 3-min snippets, and it's normalizing extremist views

What a coincidence... 🙄 "The move is particularly surprising because 'The Late Show' is typically the highest-rated show in late-night. And the timing... comes just two weeks after the parent company of CBS, Paramount, settled a lawsuit lodged by President Trump against CBS News."

Straight lines, gradients, and accent marks to create a sparkly diamond #digitalart #art #artwithflo #procreate

My latest newsletter is about why being anti-genAI is to be pro-human. It's about why it's time to fight. Why we need to fight. And it's about the cost of failure. whatwelost.substack.com/p/people-are...

One of the nerdy things I love to do when I finish a video game is to look up detailed guides written by other nerds to see what I missed. Guess what happened when I searched "Steamworld Heist 2 fully explored map"? This modal pop-up for "smarter game help with AI mode." HARD PASS, Google 👎

Got up before dawn to attend the Kemp's ridley sea turtle hatchling release at Padre Island National Seashore (Texas). All adorable babies were released onto the sand (to imprint) & then made their way to the ocean. Volunteers/staff protected them with nets/poles from birds #nature #wildlife 🌊 🐢 🌎 🦤

Radial symmetry drawing guides are rad & make things like this mandala-inspired #digitalart much easier since I only had to draw about 25%. I'm still shaky with my lines and had to redo a bunch, but this was really relaxing to doodle and especially to color in at the end #art #artwithflo #procreate

This is exactly what the internet is for.

First time making pound cake and really happy with the results! Modified a box mix and also added pandan (Southeast Asian plant with vanilla & coconut flavors) extract. Didn't overmix the batter, and bake time was tricky, but it came out light and moist. Love the flavor that pandan adds too 🍜 🍽️

"Despite Trump officially activating FEMA on Sunday, FEMA has just 86 total staff deployed at this point [to Texas], according to figures shared with staff Monday evening...In the past it would normally be in the several hundreds at this point in the disaster recovery process." My latest:

The beaches in Texas aren't the greatest when compared to the rest of the US, but you can always find a nice spot of seclusion to get away from it all at Padre Island National Seashore, part of the National Park Service

Extremely dark that the entire U.S. government is lying down to be steamrolled by something called the Trump agenda for fear of some force called "Donald Trump" while the actual Donald Trump has no idea what's happening
