Having done research into how Artist Alley works at the bigger conventions, I've figured out that a good chunk of my work/prints are going to have to be reworked or taken off market entirely. Totally understandable and willing to play the no logos/names game, but it does make me hate ai SO MUCH MORE

I really love these and got into some of these around that age (and a little older) when they were (mostly) brand new

My twelve year old put “some Marvel comics” on his Christmas list. He wants to get into super heroes.

Which do you recommend? #comics

My kid thinks it’s cool I like soulsbourne games until he tries to watch me play one. Look, you do not have to be good at a game to enjoy it.

My family would have paid to prevent more teen pregnancies, well paid for anything but birth control or sex education.

I am sorry to hear about your struggles. I hope you have people who accept you for who you.

The paradox of art, or any creative proposition really, is that you NEED distance to get fully immersed. Ultra 4K HD has been known to put off people because of how it erases grain, depth, and blur. In the same manner, most people on social media reject first because there is no distance.

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Still waiting on someone to finally explain what the ethical way to use the technology is.

Culture Crave 🍿 @culturecrave.co · 3d

Jason Blum says Hollywood should 'embrace AI' and viewers 'don't care if what they’re looking at is AI"

"it’s here to stay. It’s very important to use it ethically and legally, and for studios and guilds to protect the copyright of the artists"

4 panel comic

P1: a cartoon me, sat at a table --with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil on its surface-- grimacing in pain as he clutches his right wrist. Thinking to himself, he says "AUGH! My drawing hand hurts! Don't think I'll be able to draw a comic toda--"

P2: APPEAR! Suddenly, a larger and far more crudely drawn version of my cartoon self appears on the right. He has a big doofy grin onhis face. Original cartoon me, in shock, says "GASP! W-who --WHAT-- are you?"

P3: Via an equally crudely drawn (and written) speech bubble and text, crude cartoon me says "I'm you when you stop giving a shite about drawing well"

P4: Suddenly, original cartoon me gets transformed into a crudely drawn form. The other crude self finishes on "in my imperfection I am perfect in every way"

Oh shit, ANTIFA is suiting up

From the sound of music. Seven children stand in a line inside a grand house, wearing identical light blue sailor-style uniforms with dark collars, neckties, and knee socks. They are arranged from tallest to shortest, standing at attention on a patterned rug with a staircase and ornate wall paneling behind them.
