It’s #portfolioday time :)

I’m a fake macaw in a real world, and I make #art with inks for fun. I mostly draw sci-fi and melancholic pieces.

Shamelessly plugging my ko-fi which I haven’t updated in a while lol ko-fi.com/fakemacaw

Drawing of a mysterious soldier standing in a field of chrysanthemums

I’m trying my best :) it’s more helping with political organizing work than mutual aid but regardless it’s still important to help people out however you do it, especially nowadays…

Things I’m grateful for:
- re-realizing my creative dreams/goals
- finding community irl + stuff I’ve been volunteering for
- good food
- music
- that a better world is possible

Ink drawing of stinging nettles and hands in striking positions can be seen emerging from the plants. Several heads are hidden throughout the drawing. In the background, a horde of figures are seen climbing over each other, reaching out to a person falling from the sky. Framing the drawing are canyon walls.

Drawing loosely inspired by the song “Nettles” by Ethel Cain

Probably to keep people on the platform. Which is kinda wild cuz this is the same company touting their latest innovation/scourge known as “second-screen” movies (aka background noise while you scroll TikTok)

Correct. It’s just a dataset + machine learning algorithm + text/media generator, really the only thing new is the variety of outputs it can generate. These companies would rather take mid slop over actually talented people if they could save even a cent
