dailies for the weekend. apparently mom mentioned in a letter to a friend that i’ve been struggling with artistic burnout. in response the friend sent me a set of her current favorite pens to help 🥺 such a lovely gesture. so these are all with my new pens. #scoutdraws #dailysketch

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

some funky silly shape guys. very different from my usual, but like i said in my little comic the other day, filling the last handful of pages in this sketchbook has been a trial, so i need to shake it up! #dailysketch #scoutdraws

(crawling on the floor wheezing) okay we’re almost there (<— did this to herself by getting so far behind on the posts) #scoutdraws #dailysketch jun 14-25

we continue catching up with daily posts. (every time i start one of these big catchups, i’m called away, put it in drafts, and end up leaving it for several more days. ahh) #scoutdraws #dailysketch jun 4-13

My beautiful horse. #makeaterriblecomicday2026

i feel like i could write a whole experimental ttrpg based on this phrase i see every month on my book club discussion questions

Hollywood is too scared to make the ideas @humblegoat.bsky.social and I have

i think #makeaterriblecomicday is both one of the hardest and most important exercises i can do for myself as an artist right now. thank you #makeaterriblecomicday2026 for pushing against some of my most stifling instincts. #scoutdraws #dailysketch

reminder that tomorrow is the day again

all these new upload slots burning a hole in my pocket, might as well make a big sketchdump as i’m still behind on my dailies posts! I’m so behind aaaaaa #scoutdraws #dailysketch

People Make Games traveled to Michigan to meet Jerry Gretzinger, an 84-year-old man, who's spent most of his life working away on a single, giant map to an imaginary world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Is8N...

sometimes journaling is peaceful and sometimes journaling is me writing a sentence that activates the perseveration sleeper agent in my brain and losing several minutes to staring at the wall solving hypothetical problems

This is nonsensical. Libraries buy huge numbers of books you wouldn't otherwise sell. They're a massive discoverability vector for authors. The reasons behind the declining author earnings are not hard to guess. People read less, have less $ to spend, +media is being consolidated by megacorporations

HEY I GOT SOME ZELDA NEWS FOR MY BIRTHDAY AFTER ALL

no no you don’t understand, we only used AI for the part of the production pipeline where we didn’t want to pay employees, it’s different

maybe for my birthday nintendo will talk about zelda or the silksong DLC 🙏

from friday the 22nd of may! henrietta has had enough of this guy. #dailysketch #scoutdraws

okay so. may 21st-31st is a jumble in my brain as to which days were and weren’t ones where the only thing i drew was my journal selfie. thus. i’m showing you all 11 of them to cover my bases. from there, i’ll catch up on posting the other dailies i’ve scrounged. #dailysketch #scoutdraws

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

all else aside, I think this was the start of a shift for a lot of people- realizing their government was absolutely capable of helping them, but actively choosing not to

i'm gonna catch up on daily posts soon i have just been STRUGGLIN to draw recently so it's mostly journal selfies and those aren't as fun to post

Real good bit about the slippery slope of genAI use. A battle we're already fighting, especially against the C-suite.

You don't hate AI enough.

🚨WORK POST🚨 i am once again putting out a call for new clients!!! currently offering editing and/or production help for new and existing podcasts (audio or video)! i've worked with teams of all shapes and sizes, individuals to high-profile corporations portfolio & contact info: ajfillari.online

This week, you may have heard about fabricated, AI-generated quotes appearing in a book covering AI's reality-skewing effects. I talked to the author, and what came out is, I think, a fascinating look at how people justify their own continued of these imperfect tools arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/a...

This bit, where AI use gets compared to drugs/drinking and/or motorcycle riding, is I think one of the most evocative analogies for these tools I've come across. The motorcycle one in particular is gonna stick with me.

this was HR 2616 which also bans books by or about trans and nonbinary people from schools START CALLING YOUR SENATORS NOW CIS FRIENDS TRANS KIDS NEED YOU

Marisa’s gifted us with yet another banger, folks.

dailies for the 16th-19th; side effect of low artistic stamina is i will occasionally be forced to put lowkey sexy art on main since it’s all i could draw on a given day. essy and co continuing to rattle around in my brain. plus one journal selfie. #scoutdraws #dailysketch

daily for may 15th (last friday): local artificer performs monkey maintenance. (sketching after dnd that evening.) #dailysketch #scoutdraws

When Minneapolis felt under heavy siege, people from everywhere helped and reached out and it was really heartening and made a difference. Memphis deserves that too, all the more so because there appears to be a concerted effort to keep their occupation out of the news

the most frustrating thing about learning to drive is 60% of the time i line up with the parking space just fine and 40% of the time i’m totally off and i can’t tell what i’m doing differently

daily for may 13th, been reading a book with vampires in it which means i am thinking about my vampire oc i created…NINETEEN years ago? that number is scary. anyway. essy and hanna you are still special 2 me. #dailysketch #scoutdraws

may 12th and 14th dailies. sometimes i get it in my head to do comic spreads from ttrpg sessions and do i finish them? very rarely. but i START them. and think about them. #dailysketch #scoutdraws

for my 11th dailies, sketches i did during dnd on monday. 🤖 #dailysketch #scoutdraws

a “smartphone” is a device used mainly to look up words on mirriam-webster dot com while reading jane eyre by charlotte brontë

tues/thurs dailies: been in the throes of an anxiety flare-up w/ zeldadog the past month and i am REALLY startin’ to feel it. we ARE making progress (clean bill of health, have MAYBE identified/rectified the cause, meds to help in the meantime) but i’m still zombified atm #dailysketch #scoutdraws

damn, i love art 🥹

i hate you whole language learning i hate you three-cueing i hate you standardized testing i hate you i hate you

sunday/monday dailies were me listening to jpop and thinking about my fabula ultima crew. the thumbnail has a particular energy that i’m not quite sure i’m getting in the slightly cleaner sketch but i might return to this to pick at it a little at a time. #dailysketch #scoutdraws
