Hey there, I'm a designer and illustrator. My wife said about my art: "you draw gnomes as they live in real life, their daily experience(...) Like, yeah that's how a goblin would collect pumpkins." It's my favorite thing anyone has ever said about my art

You can’t resist fascism while using the incredibly fascist tool of generative AI.

If I owned a restaurant and a white supremacist started harassing my other customers, I'd make the white supremacist leave. Maybe that's why I would never make it in tech.

This is so shockingly embarrassing for everyone involved.

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

Tonight I’m dancing to Artlord and the Self Portraits and feeling 19 again (I will not feel 19 in the morning). One time I went to a diner with the members of @future-islands.bsky.social while I was dressed as Batman. What a time to be alive.

Substack at the very least has already said they’re cool with nazis using their platform so that should be swift.

#halloween #kidlitart #illustration

A young girl dressed as a witch for Halloween is running through the woods and looking behind herself. There are amorphous feline shapes peeking out from behind trees. In one of her hands she grips her pointy hat as it threatens to fly off and in the other she grabs her hard-earned pumpkin-shaped pail of candy.

The left was never doing canceling. Holding people accountable for being awful isn’t the same as the government going after people who aren’t mourning a white supremacist the right way.
