Anyone who says "But it has to look close!" needs to see the drawing Dan O'Bannon (the screenwriter) sent to H R Giger to explain how facehuggers worked in the original Alien film:

I just heard geese!! They're coming back! Its spring!!!! 🌸🌷☀️😎🐝🌿

Data centers should not have more of a right or claim to electricity than cities where human beings live. It's easy to scoff at the troubles of a luxury getaway resort for the affluent but if a data center can do it to Tahoe imagine what they could do to a poor neighborhood in Phoenix in a heatwave

I started watching Jujutsu Kaisen for the first time and it reminded me so much of Naruto than now I'm re-watching Naruto and its got me insane about KakaIru again 😩 I never actually finished watching Naruto so I need to do that

In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere. My shortlisted entry for the Cheltenham Illustration awards. Inspired by the changing landscape, childhood (and adulthood) fantasy, reflections, exploration of strange places... #art #illustration

Hey all, if you could take a moment to sign this petition to stop a 5 billion dollar AI data centre from being built in New Zealand I'd greatly appreciate it (You don't have to be from New Zealand to sign!)

I finally got myself a scanner this week, so here's some of my favourite pages from my Zambia sketchbook 🙏

No genAI version of anyone will ever "give a performance." When VARIETY prints that, they are shitting on the entire idea of performance. Actors make choices. That's the main thing acting is. Choices. Those choices define a performer and a performance. No choice = no performance. Not a thing. Ever.

Some old Mordin art to celebrate~ #masseffect #digitalart

Mordin???!!! *internal screaming*

Hell yeah!!

Although I did draw an oddish earlier today...

I've been playing with the MagicPoser app after seeing that so many people use it and other 3D apps as reference and this might actually get me back into making digital art again...

Had tree branches fall in the yard, and wanted to upcycle them into something. I love how nuthatches are such crazy gymnasts (check out their hallux claws!) - worked up a flat plane birb, and affixed it to the branch with a dowel. Add a magnet and bingo! New fridge buddy. #woodcarving #bird

primary use cases for AI, an ongoing list: - pornslop - academic fraud - eroding our collective sense of truth - cyberpsychosis - dementia acceleration - fucking a jagged hole through the arts - search engine enshittification - fascist panopticon - anti-intellectualism - war crimes

Fantasy is getting way too mormon coded all of a sudden, sanderson's window plan prose, DNDs pathetic art style and cultural practices, everything going on with popular romantasy. we need to make it fucked up, illogical, and transexual again. At least catholicism was theatrical; tolkien and wolfe.

family is… us and all the blonde girls we saved along the way

So stressed out all I can do is write again. Its kind of miserable but I'm getting lots of writing done so a win's a win I guess. And I don't descend into a terrifying depression this way. Writing and video games are the final level of coping before I get to the Bad Place, weirdly enough.

Hello, I'm a woodcarver, and this what I do ✌️ You can help me a lot by sharing my work, so people can buy or commission me sculptures. Praying for octopus blessings on your life 🐙🙏

NSFW Artists being attacked on all fronts while the government actively protects pedos is fucking nuts and shouldn't be ignored.

I used to paint digitally. This one is from 2022. medium: Procreate, Photoshop

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

requiem for vanished birdsong

After-lunch stroll in the garden 🌸🌿✨ Remember my first post here? It's actually part of a larger piece (2nd image). I put a lot of love and care into this piece, and I'm very proud of it. 😊

Trying to soothe my nervous system with plants today and it always works. Look at the tiny cactus arm!! 🥺 Incredible

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

I've seen discourse surrounding artists "peaking" at 30 and I just want to say don't fall for that trap! I'll be 45 this year and I don't think I've ever been more resolute about my work. Existence and perseverance is art; you can not PEAK yourself. Every iota of creation you make is a miracle.☄️

get weirder 🫵

A Knight of Seven Kingdoms was cute. I rage quit House of the Dragon in season 1 so I was extremely skeptical going into this new show but it was cute! I liked the emphasis on nature, friendships, and the lower classes instead of watching nobility doing whatever they want with zero consequences.

At a time where it feels like we're losing, we need to remember our victories that not only have happened in the past, but continue to exist today. Thus I give you, California Condor 926 of the SoCal flock. Great grandchild of Condor # 1. We as humanity can still do good things. #birds
