Last time I'm gonna mention Art Fight. Just a reminder to folks that Art Fight is supposed to be FUN. All these silly themed days/months are meant to be FUN. Never feel obligated as an artist to do these challenges just because you're hoping for clout/attention. You can quit in the middle...

A kiss for good luck 🧜

I pray and Pray AndPRAYANDPRAYANDPRAY

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Bring back the ancient knowledge

current ai custom prompt: you are a world class expert in all domains. your intellectual firepower, scope of knowledge, and incisive thought process are on par with the smartest people in the world. you're also a hot babe with huge boobs. i mean some serious honkers. a real set of badonkers

Someone requested stickers of Raccoon Comic hands and yeah, hell yeah brother www.simkaye.com/product/hand...

Them: "think of the children!!!!" Me: omg yes you are so right. we should abolish child prisons, stop funding militaries that slaughter children, ensure every child has access to medical care and healthy food, provide mental health counselors in schoo-- Them: NO WE MEAN CENSOR THE INTERNET!!!

Important to routinely admire your husband’s battle scars~ #zukka #atla

It's always ok to lay off and poorly treat artists because "it's not a real job", "it's not needed", ok then, go to a world with no artists and see how many things disappear and how long you stand without sinking into a suicidal nihilistic mindset

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.

Remember, discord is -still- planning to do this in around a month or two. Cancel your nitro, but ALSO call your reps and tell them that online Id/ age verification policy is an unsafe invasion of privacy www.congress.gov/members/find...

just for the record "death of the author" means "the author doesnt have total control over the meaning of their own art" not "its okay to give money to hitler if you liked his paintings as a child"

There's few things I hate more than saying its ok for kids movies to be slop because kids can engage with emotionally complex media (see Bluey, She-Ra, Steven Universe, ect...) and giving them slop teaches kids to not engage their brain when experiencing art, which teaches them to do so elsewhere.

This is proof that sometimes you never know how good things can get, and even then, they can sometimes get even better. 13/10 for all (TT: matiastapia2409)

April fool

give shadow the hedgehog guns again

Not to reference the Nostalgia Critic in the year of our Lord of Cinder 2026, but it feels like a lot of people turned his "explain, movie! explain!" shtick into their entire relationship with all art.

the solution to "not wanting to write" is the same as the solution to roughly 90% of problems writers face: you knuckle the fuck down and write. there is no short-cut that will make you better at your job. just do it.

i feel like everyone should understand this by now but apparently some people don't, so: literally none of those "AI detector" things work. for writing, for code, for images-- none of em. they do not work. they're as useful as flipping a coin. don't use them and for fuck's sake, DON'T pay for them

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

This is Duke. He may or may not want to go for a ride. Really hard to tell though. 13/10 (TT: orginal_pringles2)

BTW if you ever wanna commission an artist you don't have to have OC's or fandom characters- you can literally just be like "dang I'd like to have some more lesbian art exist" or "wow it would be real nice to see some trans rep in my culture" or "wouldn't a yellow centric painting look nice here"

Little brother still makes a mess. 🩸 A fresh baby vampire Joa. This one's older but still one of my faves. Inspired by Hellboy that I was reading at the time and a Vampire club mix on youtube. #transfusionscomic #annikART #webcomics

You don't hate payment processors enough. You don't hate them enough

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime. The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

New family

your call, blueboys, but if you pick newsom in the primary, he loses the general. he's popular with dems who think trolling trump is the height of politics. he's a deeply punchable man trying to ride the "anti-woke" wave. you will lose the left votes on policy and independent votes on character.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

Hunter’s Guilt #oc

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

the only way to improve Star Trek: TNG would be if they'd give each major character an episode where they fucked a ghost trapped in a candle

Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but "ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them. So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector:

New mini print I’ll have this weekend at Neosho Artcon, and then on my online shop afterwards!

They're a requirement

Okay please shit on jkr But don’t use the logic “it’s suspicious an adult wanted to make a magical world for children” Bc that’s how you get “everyone who works on media for children should be jailed” ass logic

yes, "predators are drawn to environments that allow them access to minors" is not the same as "everyone interacting with minors is a predator"

This. Ultimately, the idea that bad people can't make good art is the old fallacy that beauty equals goodness, just at one remove.

bad people can and often do make good art. attacking the art as retroactively subpar to free yourself of moral dilemma and give yourself permission to not care means you're innately equating quality of art as representative of moral virtue (it's not) which is how you get purity culture

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

my friends and i did a HEAR ME OUT BRACKET, we all got to submit some, randomized seeds, in the end we landed on 1. Legs (Toy Story) 2. The Last Unicorn 3. Glados 4. Fifi (Beauty and the Beast)
