I worry I'm gonna be rusty when I attempt to draw again

YES and this is only like the shit we hear about OpenAI is well aware that "sycophantic enabler" is their primary selling point and ALSO how absolutely toxic the effects of this are on the general public

Meta contaminated Cheyenne Wyoming’s wastewater supply with a bacteria with a 31% mortality rate DEATH TO AI

Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories

Cleaned up and painted an old sketch. The Great Lynx is helping little Theo carry some twigs. She’s nice like that.

People who commission artists, don't fucking do this.

Seeing Earth Day AI posters and recycling AI posters and Save Water AI posters makes me [redacted]

Oh wait, Eliot is also chill with Eleonora (Corey's daughter)

Eliot: a lot. He doesn't want anyone near him apart from his partner and kids and Corey (and probably his little sister) Corey: he's supposed to always enjoy being around people but because of his trauma he'll self isolate a lot Varis: craves attention all the time, gets bored when he's alone

it was my birthday yesterday! it would mean a lot to me if you shared my art 🥰 [ #myart #oc #dndoc #ocsky #birthdaypost ]

had this pulled up for my freelancing guide how topical indeed

I keep seeing "pencil slop" being said by AI people as rage bait, and I'm like damn even your insults are ungrounded shallow empty ripoffs of something that already existed.

Wild to drop this endorsement in the middle of Amy Acton's exploding controversy over calling trans girls boys.

And, one of the deliberate outcomes of flooding all self publishing spaces with genAI slop is to completely devalue them as a source of income for the people who rely on them.

This. It's not about having "a finished product". It's daydreaming about scenes, pouring thoughts on paper. The feeling when an idea springs to life & your characters develop their voices. You can't substitute that by typing a prompt for a result. I wish people would value their own originality more

It's not "too woke" to say that straight men who rape women should be reviled for being rapists, not tarred as secretly queer. To imply they're gay, or that they wear dresses, to distance them from manhood, is to insist that their violence is "deviant" rather than utterly banal and normative.

For the Twitter refugees - Bluesky works very different. Feeds, hashtags and starter packs are your new best friend. Repost your work often Also interact and build community! You won’t see any growth just posting your own work. That’s the biggest mistake I see on here. Helpful guide for you here;

had to (hopefully temporarily) go private for medical treatment, so I'm tentatively opening ko-fi sketch commissions to help pay it off. minimum payment £15 for a little colour sketch, but the higher the donation the more detail you get. tank u everyone 👼 ko-fi.com/sna1l/

Like most artists on Instagram I’m also getting slammed with the ‘likely made with AI tag’. Allow me To be clear. AI art is bullshit and I do not and will never partake in it. The only reason the tech exists is because of the mass theft of real working artists.

Australia is planning some of the world's toughest AI regulations • Water usage will be limited • AI data centers will be required to become net producers of energy • AI companies can't train on Australian creators' work without their permission • Proposals expected to be introduced in 2027

Sexism is still very much around in the fandom and people need to be called out for it when it’s seen/heard. Woman and femme presenting people belong in the fandom and deserve to feel safe and accepted just like anyone else.

Oooh, I'm about to go off on a tangent because the quoted post brings up something that is super interesting about superheroes, artists, men, and women. Male action heroes DO look like bodybuilders now. And they shouldn't. They should look like professional athletes.

[ #AF2026 06 ] 6th Attack of the #Artfight season! Making an inconsistent habit of using Artfight as an excuse to draw something for @houdabelgharbi.bsky.social 's birthday~ This year, I present to you, Prince Tremere Umbrae of the House Tenebris~ [ #croquisdennui / #artfight2026 / #teammystery ]

42 years ago, Mary Manning — a 21-year-old Dublin cashier — refused to ring up South African grapefruit. She was suspended. Ten colleagues walked out with her, and their strike lasted almost three years, until Ireland became the first Western country to ban apartheid goods.

Queer and/or disabled artists! I'm in the market for a SMALL piece of art, a small, relatively simple, black and white sketch of a mechanical heart, for commercial use. Please reply if you're interested, ideally with rates and samples/portfolio!

Paranoia

Recently a friend saw her own painting come up as an example of a lighting technique on ChatGPT. When asked who created the painting, chatGPT suggested Edgar Payne, an already deceased male artist, erasing my friend, a woman, as the creator.

I understand that it sucks to have to read a book you didn't choose as a kid but when people are like 40 and still going, "well assigned reading turned me off from reading" it's like, ok but you're 40. No one has assigned you a book in like 20 years.

Adding onto this that the answer to "They're [XY] years old, they should know this by now" is usually "It's devastatingly embarrassing for most people that are [XY] old to admit they don't know something." Kindness goes a long way for any age.

I think it’s important to keep talking about children and social media, but I also think that debate is a cover for what these laws are really about: surveilling the entire population online

Today is my bday! 🥳🎉 I'd be very happy if you read my webcomic!
