I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

you can love a character and still admit when they're wrong. we love Shadow but we can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) and we can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he has never done anything wrong in his life) and call him out on his actions (which are always correct)

my attention span has been Really Bad these days, i've been so overwhelmed that i can't get anything done, i feel so disoriented

Look upon my cute barbarian in these trying times #ocart #dndoc #dndart #artsky #art

Self-moderate with art you don't like. But you know what makes self-moderation harder? When art you don't like goes untagged/unlabeled. You know what makes artists not cooperate with moderation? Being threatened with bans and financial ruin.

bans on art is never about the art that you don't like, it's about the art you DO like. what makes you think the art you like is safe? because you're following the rules? there's nothing gross in it? the fact you make art at all is what's gross, kid. you aren't safe unless the art you hate is.

for god‘s sake dont participate in a bluesky blackout, raise hell about the censorship issue instead. make NOISE about it.

crazy how deepfake porn that uses faces of real people and ruins lives has never been a subject in the "protecting internet users" argument and instead all the recent censorship ended up being targeted at artists and sex workers just trying to make a living

Joining Mastodon is easy! You just find an instance (not that one, not that one, not that one) and then you set up your farble to interact with the jibcrank but be sure to hide your content automatically behind a yuwving or you'll be in violation of the instances TOS and can be banned.

man i can barely keep up with all the new bullshit i read about every day

Out of curiosity how do you get consent from a drawing. Like maybe you should worry less about whether or not a cartoon has rights and more about whether real life trans and Palestinian people do

Reactions like this to brians story show why it's valuable to keep talking about. As artists we are living the situation and assume others are aware, but the truth is most people do not know

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it. It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

W-we're actually at 8️⃣0️⃣% now! You are KILLING it. Don't forget, you won't be charged until Sept 30th for the books, and won't be charged for the shipping until March 2026. There simply is no better time to grab these books! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

i've really detested learning what sort of people the song bella ciao has been appropriated by

Have some concept art from the climax of Sleeping Beauty painted by Eyvind Earle. His art really was so gorgeously captured in the final film with the way Woolie Reitherman directed the sequence where Maleficent turns into a dragon to face Phillip.

STORMBRINGER (1977) Acrylic on Masonite - 30" x 20" I remember trying to get in the mood of painting for the last time the albino sorcerer king, Elric. I took a clothes rail out of a closet for my sword and ran around outside slashing at weeds and lunging at the breeze. 1/5

we posted @elkowalczuk.bsky.social's art from our @cavesofqud.com feature on reddit and they're going wild for it, so here's the spot illos Lukasz did for it that we haven't posted here before, as they're awesome, along with the main piece again, as that's awesome too www.reddit.com/r/cavesofqud...

every time an evil freak dies, the most tepid people on earth ask how anyone could celebrate death and violence, how people can act so inhuman. do you think I want to live in a world where this is what it takes for me to feel relief or a sense of justice? why don't you ask who took my humanity.

finally back home back from a convention, ever so slightly richer and owning yet another new set of dice. give me a few days to get into my usual routine again and then we're back to regular art posting 🙏

now is the best time to swing for the creative fences and make the weirdest shit you want. nobody can stop you.

I really believe we’re headed for a creative revolution. Feels like we’re reaching an apex of creative industry jobs cutting pay/disappearing altogether, while the process for making/releasing indie comics/games/movies has never been more democratized. They’re making it so we have nothing to lose

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

Experimental piece for May! Fairly simple, I kept the character rough and used some photo editing for part of the background. I should remember to use photos more in my work, they often add an interesting effect! I also really like the colour palette on this one. #artsky #art #fantasy #ocart
