Hey since I've had to cancel a convention and thus not making moneys I would have this weekend, would love it if people shared stuff to get some eyes and maybe sales in my shop, next event isn't until end of September. Customs are open too!
Much appreciated ♥

Fascists like Trump are capitalizing on all of this. In both directions, unfortunately.

Plausibly calling real videos fake is as much a danger as people believing fake videos are real.

Trump in Sept: “If something happens really bad, just blame AI.”

I am quite frankly desperate to make ends meet this month. We are $900 short on rent alone despite everything, and could really use any help we can get. I'm taking autumn YCH commissions and accepting any other help I can get to make sure the check clear in just a few days here.

Time to post one of my favorite old illustrations. :)
I created it for a group show resolving around botanical visuals. During this time I read a lot about the ISS and how they grew plants in there to test botanical behavior, which also sparked dreams about deep space travels.

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:

At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

AI impoverishes us at every step of the process:
- data centers pollute our environment
- energy use drives up costs
- content theft robs creators of income
- the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages
- using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence
- the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape

All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people

This is an act of kindness but you need to understand that if this is you, telling people about it a week after the fact is likely to put those people right back into danger, and yourself.

You may never be able to safely tell anyone. For decades, if ever.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

The design for the Minecraft dragon is pretty simple so I took some artistic liberties with our dear Jean, including some toe beans lol

Now in the shop ♥

Manatee charms are back ♥
Slightly adjusted the design from the last time I did these, made them a lighter gray and their algae covered backs a bit more so

Three polymer clay manatee charms. They are light gray with mossy green algae on their backs. They are each facing a different direction.

The buff-tip moth (Phalera bucephala) has mastered a very particular kind of camouflage.

When they close their wings up, they resemble a broken twig.

Native to large parts of Europe, there's regional pattern variation that reflects the local tree species. This one best resembles birch twigs?
