For the followers who may not have had a fresh reminder who I am, they are provided this art drop. I'm Esopus (pronounced es-OAP-us), an Eastern Dragon. Am I beautiful?

I was going to change my name to show my next events but I realized it will make more confusion than clarification. It's very exciting though for those that would get the clarification. Let's fucking go.

Another day, another "artist" trying to get clout with art they didn't create.

It's challenging to be an artist. Having a vision can be a curse, making it real is not a trivial process. People who prompt perform a blood sacrifice with their muse as the victim. You can watch creativity die.

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."

I'm looking forward to next year it coming back and bigger. 4/4 #HeartLandHowloween

I was also chilling with a bunch of people. I was very happy to recollect with a chiptune artist I met like 10 years ago. 3/4 #HeartLandHowloween

I haven't heard Genki DJ in like 10 years back at Further Confusion. And I hear him spin two drum 'n' bass sets this weekend. He's so interested in talking about circuit bending and glitch. I also met an early era Autechre fan and probably made someone into an Autechre fan. 2/4 #HeartLandHowloween

I had to take a pic. I'm a dragon fan too. #HeartLandHowloween #HLH

I found myself comfortable with cartoon style art of myself. That's not to say hyperrealistic renderings have been out of fashion. On the contrary, the only thing stopping me getting any of that is I don't know how to get all the details correct. I need a hyperrealistic reference approved by myself.

I found a Denny's because I overslept and missed hotel breakfast. #HeartLandHowloween #HLH

It's up to the artist: I've never seen anyone acting putting not safe for work on an cover and having a significant reach. Leave that to Annie Sprinkles.

There'll be a lot of downtime today, I assume, so I'll listen to a few new furry music releases of the month.

It's a double edged sword.

I think you're already in the middle ground you belong in in my opinion. Furry art on the cover but nothing that isn't safe for work. Most people who commission art all the time are actually not popular/not happy.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

When this is all over every one of them should have a capital T branded on their forehead and left to live out the rest of their days finding out.

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.
