Mari Lwyd drawing to finish up the year. Apologies for the glare at top left, it’s a sod trying to get decent photos of graphite sometimes :D

It's been a weird year for my drawing.

It kind of peaked using a computer and I wasn't able to sustain or replicate the results I was getting.

With all the Ai shenanigans going on at the minute, my response is to go back to basics and draw freehand with a brush pen.

Drawing direct.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I think it's been announced so I'm safe enough to say @lucysullivan.bsky.social & I have a strip in this, rescued from the wreckage of a certain anthology fiasco...

Lucy is one of my favourite creators and people and I bought every issue of A1 and Deadline ever printed, so this means a lot to me.

The kiddie paints are somewhere between watercolour and gouache. Quite like them, but maybe that’s because it feels less ‘proper’.

I l’be been wanting to take up painting and bought some acrylics a while ago. Instead of using them I bought some cheap tempera like kids use in school :D

Capitalism in a nutshell:
Studies of UBI - positive effects, cheaper than government benefits, don't directly finance capital, so WE MUST STUDY MORE

Studies of LLMs - lots of harm, very expensive, directly finance major corporations & the wealthy, so we MUST IMPLEMENT BUT BETTER SOMEHOW

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Every time someone opens their mouth to hype AI, just google “name of person/company invests in AI” and you’ll *always* find something. Every time.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Some confusing inks that will make a lot more sense when I colour them tomorrow.

I’ve been thinking similarly. I wonder if it’s worth sharing artwork on sm, but worry about being utterly forgotten:/

Still a WiP, but maybe not looking so rubbish as it did yesterday. Hope it keeps improving.
