Putting a plunger on a trumpet was a crazy idea, man.

EVERYBODY CAN MAKE ART IT CAME FREE WITH YOUR HUMAN SPIRIT

Today's my birthday. If you'd like to help me celebrate, maybe try one of my books, currently on sale! (no shipping to the US, work your shit out) Serialized, weirdo, slice-of-life scifi for discerning readers. Or, if you've read the comics, say something nice about them, I always like that.

Woke up this morning, got myself a synth 🎶

This drawing vs. generating thing reminds me of something profound that @mikecavalier.bsky.social once said: "When you commit yourself to an artform it's like you've cast yourself on a hero's journey of self transformation. You can never make bad art because you're in a constant state of becoming."

Also, writing is just drawing but with extra layers.

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023 people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

from 2022, when I was still figuring out what form MVC would take

Strange, Clea, and Stardust, ok?

Drawing is the most low barrier to entry art from aside from maybe... singing? Do it and get good. That's it, man.

Sorry that I gatekept you by drawing in the back of math class before you were born. Sorry the books I wrote got scanned into a big computer without any permission sought or compensation given. Sorry that you'll never know what it feels like to create because you became addicted to a dopamine genie.

continually, relentlessly even, delighted by Alejandro's work

Talent is a myth. Curiosity and perseverance are what get you where you want to be. - everyone has to draw bad to get good - if you can't pay an artist, resorting to the machine that used their work to source its output is just theft - ok. It's simply not for everyone. I can't play the guitar 🫤

it's very funny that she's specifically calling out drawing. as in with pencil and paper. famously only available to the wealthy and privileged

Not a lot of people know this about me, but I have a cool website.

in the early days of automobile racing, the engines were lubricated with castor oil! Not only that, but since most cars ran open valves on their engines, the drivers would get so much of it in their mouths during a race that they would poop their pants!

You know what I don't talk about a lot? My love of hip hop. Here's a thread of beats that give me that head bob scowl. You know the one. Quasimoto's Low Class Conspiracy youtu.be/h_rzPxpiaqM

Me too. And castor oil. I'm still not sure what castor oil is.

are bears if dogs were people? discuss

Welp. Guess I'm Not A Democrat. Whoops ya blew it!

If accessibility disappears after a snowstorm then there was never really accessibility to begin with. Winter reveals so much about who our cities prioritize.

Speaking of Pete Fowler, he apparently hosts a radio show and I like what I'm hearing so far. sohoradio.com/show/open-09...

I drew my first proper comic around 2003. It was drawn in Sharpie and extremely inspired by Pete Fowler and Robert Crumb. You'll never see it.

Reminder to artists: occasionally pause movies, news, tv and sketch folks. Look at old yearbooks, church directories, newspapers. Even when you feel like you have a pretty good mental catalogue of features from which to draw, it's amazing just how much character specificity a real face can yield.
