Every artist, get more self indulgent NOW! Draw your ships kissing, draw your blorbos, draw that idea you’ve been putting off (you’re good enough to do it!!!), redraw that old art, draw yourself wearing a cool outfit, draw a better world- just draw!!!

As told by the late dancer and choreographer Agnes DeMille.

Might be time lads

I love LA and I Love NYC too.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

That Box We Sit On (2025 Reprint) A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? 2018 Ignatz Award Winner for Outstanding Artist Get a copy at @lightboxexpo.com this weekend.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

WE ARE COMING, FATHER ABRAHAM, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE, FROM MISSISSIPPI'S WINDING STREAM AND FROM NEW ENGLAND'S SHORE. WE DARE NOT LOOK BEHIND US BUT STEADFASTLY BEFORE. WE ARE COMING, FATHER ABRAHAM, THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE!

Ok- one king.

Took my camera to #nokings at Pasadena City Hall. Here are some of my favorite shots! 1/3

No Kings in Pasadena

Checking in from Pasadena

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”? anyway that’s why these events are important

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

I’m convinced the main reason Miyazaki films have a reputation for being “cozy” in the West is because he actually writes and animates long moments of quiet into his stories, whereas Western animated films are usually a nonstop parade of loud music, sounds, noises and neon colors.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

A good enough reason to spend lots of time doing art is just that it’s fun to do art

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

When I am like now, where I am like 'damn I cannot draw and all I have ever made looks like a pile of shit' I find comfort in this. Artists are so fucking cursed, man. We're so cursed. 💀

DIY > AI

I just wrapped up on some freelance doing revisions for a movie and I’m once again looking for work!!

I pulled the classic "Started Watching Arms Folded From the Doorway Over My Wife's Shoulder and Am Now Fully Invested." dude move.

Some non-AI (to best of my knowledge) chill music channels that I like: • Blue Turtle www.youtube.com/@BlueTurtle • Mykobi www.youtube.com/@Mykobi • Witch Bolt www.youtube.com/@WitchBoltMu... •Ghostchill www.youtube.com/@ghostchill

There’s so much AI slop in lofi/chill genre music on youtube that some channels now put “no AI” in their titles. Which is sad they have to do that but also I’m kind of hopeful that we’ve now come full circle that it’s beneficial to advertise not using AI bc people are actively looking to avoid it.

Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language. Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

Some good news today! deadline.com/2025/06/cali...

Ttrpg fans: anyone have experience with hex-crawls? I want to run one, but ive never even played one

already getting comments asking what ai model and prompts I use for the dog shorts. whether they are sarcastic, bait or genuine, i will always respond those questions in character ;) #noai

Hey hey random advice from some guy on the internet. Don’t wait to make your cartoons, let it be shitty, let it just exist because if it’s out there people will see it and your next one will be better. Then after a while you’ve learned a lot and will have evidence you can handle responsibility

I finally decided to start cultivating more and more this platform since Twitter has become a major contributor to the worsening of my mental health sooo... can I ask you to help me building back here some visibility? I make colorful maps with lots of detail, thanks if you want to share them! 🙏

One time in 2011 I was at Brooklyn party (same party???) and I turned to a college acquaintance and asked "Do you even remember my name?" and she said "Yes, Brendan" and I never spoke to her again and think about this 3x a day.

i am normally extremely anti bullying but these sweaty AI tHoUgHt LeAdErS are really testing me tonight.

Drawing the garnish

A new California bill is proposing a 35% subsidy for animated features, series, and shorts. The passage of the bill could encourage more animation production in the state.

increasingly "we're looking into ai, its the future!" is the death rattle of a gasping institution

WIP

I want justice for all the AI theft. I want a pound of flesh for every artist who's had something stolen.

"dont argue on the internet" mantra really being tested today by the LLM discourse
