Quote with your horn art 😈 An oldie, but a goodie. #3Dart

It's very common for artists to doubt themselves, I'm constantly questioning & criticizing my abilities. It's important to perservere. Push through negative feelings, keep learning & improving. Don't stop creating. Acknowledge your accomplishments no matter how small & forgive your failures.

In recent months I've started learning #weaving. It's challenging, but very satisfying when things come together. Currently I'm practicing getting my tension, beating, and selvedges more even while making some cotton hankies (pattern 52826 on handweaving.net) 🧶

For hobbyists especially: "message in a bottle" mindset about posting your art will really spare you some grief. Post art, hope for the best, wander off and do something else. If people like it, that's great~. And if they don't it won't hurt you - you're occupied with other things.

Love this so much. 💜

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

One of the best things to recognise in yourself as a creative person is when you are Sauceless. Not art blocked. Not struggling with a difficult creative problem. Being Sauceless is when you've done good work but have been staring at it for too long, and risk making it worse through noodling.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Just to be 100% clear: do not *trust* your employers - that's super silly. The relationship is economical, not based in loyalty, trust, or kindness. There's no judgement in forming a union, just understanding that capitalism requires a risk of financial loss to get companies to do the right thing.

Happy Halloween, friends 🎃

Start going to a gym, and get a trainer as soon as you can afford one. It will take at least a month of hard work to begin tot address every year of mistreating/ignoring your health and fitness, if you ever fully recover. Start early, so you can be healthy for as much of your life as possible.

Canada Post “lost” 1 billion dollars last year? How about, “it cost Canadians 1 billion dollars to have a national postal service” which works out to costing about $25 a year per person (population of Canada in 2024 = 40 million). Seems like a pretty reasonable cost to me.
