I decided to learn pixel art as my pandemic project. Here is one I made a while back for @pixeldailies.bsky.social for the theme “Sunlight.” (Featuring a kitty silhouetted in a window.)

A story I found about Haiti:
In 1999, a group of Haitians were tired of political disorder and dreamed of a better life in the United States. So they built a small, 23-foot boat by hand using pine trees, scrap wood, and used nails. They called the boat "Believe in God."

The thing thats so insidious about using AI this way is that one of the main ways artists get hired are studios looking for art references and they find us and reach out.
This is removing a major avenue to get work if they can just generate nameless derivations of our ideas.

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

Like man, my career only exists in the way that it does now because a production designer was googling "realistic pokemon" and found me. If he could have just had a machine spit that out, I never would have gotten a job. This is a major issue hitting artist discoverability.

The difference between a concept artist and an illustrator is that they *conceptualize*, - they are thinkers with illustration skills, ideation is exactly the part we don’t want to replace.

I had a very important revelation that I spent the last decade clinging to being a professional illustrator who happens to be obsessed with cats, rather than just leaning, without hesitation or fear, into being a cat lady who happens to be a pretty damn good artist.
The order matters.

I was in Myanmar in 2015, just as identity cards were taken from Rohingya to keep them from voting. It was part of a decades-long process of redefining citizenship that ate away at their rights more every year. When governments start doing this, they can move the goalposts anytime they want to.
A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
