I'm down to collaborate with creators of any size if I think we can make something good, but if you use AI art for your avatar or in your videos, it's an instant no for me.

i don’t much care about the sanctity of the white house or whatever but building a multimillion dollar ballroom at this exact point in time as a world leader feels loudly, reverberatingly fucked up

Someone do the math and tell me - for every one of the 7 million who attended No Kings, how many were there in spirit? THAT'S the Resistance.

Don't buy Pokemon Legend's Z-A I cannot stress this enough, that if you have a PC, I encourage you to just emulate it, it'll run 10 times better. PkHex > Paying $20 to earn a mega stone **Please Stop Giving Money To The Slop Machine, It Will Continue To Produce Slop If We Do So** That Is All..

Big dumb doofus alert

the peanut inside the peanut m&m mascot should be it’s own voiced character. his only goal is to “get out” of the living shell. he does so by speaking through the m&m, trying to convince the other candies to break him out, killing his host

i got to star in a LIVE-ACTION SEGA COMMERCIAL for one of my favorite video game series YAKUZA/LIKE A DRAGON, getting to wear these costumes was so surreal, you can watch the commercial here @sega-west.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ddV...

weird phenomenon i keep encountering where “writers” correctly identify the soul-sucking danger that large language models pose to their craft, but for some reason have no problem using generative AI to make images. like….are you stupid!!!!

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

What do you even say about a giant like Drew Struzan except study him. Go make some marks, some actual marks, with pencils and paints and an airbrush if you’ve got one hanging around. Everything you could ever need to learn about this craft is in his work.

A dating sim with the Nemesis system where after you break up with a partner, they come back with a glow up and they try to sabotage your new relationship.

Pour one out for Drew Struzan. 78! helluva run and helluva career.

Heartbroken that, per his social media accounts, Drew Struzan has left us. His poster and album art was quite simply shorthand for imagination for countless young people.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years. His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds. A massive loss 💔

We are in a crisis of sell outs. With recent stark examples like Riyadh festival and respected filmmakers embracing AI. I hope it kills these dinosaurs and makes room for new voices who to create and succeed. We need to make shame hurt more.

They didn’t stop being rapists just because Epstein “died” they’ve got new channels to get young girls I’m sure and it’s still happening and nobody is doing anything

then perish 😀

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I’m in the #Digimon mindset so I figured I would share this fan art again!

self-affirmations: * you didn't have time to draw and you need to get back into the game gradually * its okay if it doesnt look that great and its kinda rusty * its okay if its not perfect, by drawing more you can improve

"I can't even draw a stick figure" you can, you just haven't tried. And if you do try I will love it, because you attempted to do something you never thought you could and that's amazing.

So stoked to reveal my upcoming cover for LAZARUS: FALLEN #6 YOUNGBLOOD variant, from @imagecomics.com!!! WHAT A DREAM!! Written by @gregrucka.com, drawn by @michaellark.bsky.social, designed by @mercuryeric.bsky.social, edited by @alejandrobot.com! Pick it up from your comic shop in November!!! ☺️☺️☺️

shoutout to artists that are not that great cause at least you are doing your own stuff at your own pace instead of giving up and using a machine to make it for you

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

This week, our team made a tough decision: we decided to delay Mina the Hollower. The entire crew has been working tirelessly day and night to finish development for release on Oct 31st, but we’re just not quite there yet. Read the full announcement here➡️ycgurl.com/delayextravaganza

generated reference images are such a downer like you can just send me the prompt I know how to read

Fun update on the James Mulligan situation, If you don't know he is the alleged AI/ Plagiarism Disney artist I guess he didn't like my coverage of the topic. He is attempting to remove any trace of his alleged bad behavior from the internet. We of course will fight this as it falls under fair use

I will never be nice to AI. Trip AI in the internet cafeteria so they fall face first into their tray of website cookies. Shove AI into a data center server cabinet. Give AI the digital equivalent of a "Wet Willy"

What I love about comics is the gap between panels and between page turns, it's a very special and nebulous type of zone where audiences can fill in the blanks with their imaginations, better than any book or movie can achieve, really good for moving stories forward

In honor of Digimon Time Stranger’s release, I’m finally putting these up for sale in my shop! (Okay I just want to buy the game guilt free but I think it’s a fair trade) Link in my bio!

People like to claim that autistics are bad at communicating and like, my dude, the problem does not lie with us, it lies with the web of manipulation and lies and passive aggression and ulterior agendas that you weave around yourselves instead of just doing what we do, which is saying what we mean.

Life changing artblock hack: Don't feel motivated to draw but want to? If teenage boys can draw dicks on their homework, on their desks and everywhere else, so can you!!! You can draw a better dick than them!! Draw the peen 🍆

A lot of people making fun of Kennedy for blaming autism on Tylenol but en serio, how many of you talk disparagingly about autistic folks? because there’s a lot of “oh yeah he doesn’t know better because he’s autistic“ like it’s brain damage or something rather than a literal expression of diversity

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Any politician who calls for human rights to be removed, should be removed from office.

The precise numbers are in flux, but it’s pretty clear that more than half, & potentially up to 70% of diagnosed #autistic people don’t have any accompanying intellectual disability. The way we’re talked about in media & by government officials is not representative of the actual autistic community.

"Autistic people are autistic all the way through. There is no normal person trapped inside an autistic person. Autism is just part of who we are. We are autistic, & that’s good." By @autisticadvocacy.org, posted by a parent of a 1:1 support adult—so don't even. autismacceptance.com/book/3-there...

“You were born a boy. If you want to say you’re a woman, fine, but why should I have to go along with your delusion?” Like how we all have to go along living and working with people who will literally die for the idea an invisible man lives in the sky and has preordained our lives?

Being a person with autism has not been easy but the reason it hasn't been easy- is because non-autistic people are not taught how to interact with autistic people. Autistic people are expected to socially mask & neurotypicals generally don't have even a base idea of how autistic people communicate.

Fantasy style concept/character sketches are open for October! can u believe its oct already..... man o man full info and TOS can be found in the sign up sheet here! forms.gle/G258212h6jac... please share if you can! love you!! 💙 #FFXIV | #commissions | #comms | #OCSky | #FF14 | #art

I need to get better at planning my lighting and this is a good start i think! #sketch #fanart #fantasy #digitalart

Most autistic people I meet think their struggles at work are personal failings. But it’s not you. It’s a system designed to reward masking, punish needs, and burn us out. The shift begins when you stop asking “what’s wrong with me” and start asking “what do I need to thrive?”
