WTF
I saw someone in a mom group say, enthusiastically, that she’d just used genAI to do her newborn portraits. She thought they were great! No need to pay a photographer like me to do it anymore.

A gift for you: If you're a parent who is regretting letting the Elf on a Shelf into your home, here is a duty reassignment order you can show to your kids that the Elf was needed elsewhere. Printable png 8X10 300dpi so it can fit well on an A4 for non North American printers.

It’s #WorldAIDSDay - Did you know sanitation and barriers are industry standard in tattooing because Cliff Raven, a gay tattooer from Chicago, made sure he could still provide service to his own community as most shops refused to tattoo homosexuals when the AIDS crisis emerged?

These acorn bells came out even better than I expected and I love them so much I’m losing it.

"small business" is such a funny term bc in it you have like a bunch of little gremlin artists fighting over a dollar and then also a guy who owns every tire store in a tri-city area and they are both like "im a small business"

THE TIME HAS COME.
SHOP UPDATE SUNDAY 11/16 12 NOON EST.
I'll be posting images this week of what will be available.

Everything is unique and there's definitely some new pattern variations in the mix that are available for the first time. I kinda love designing new pattern stuff.

Every time an author accepts the compliment of “cool cover!” without crediting the illustrator and/or designer an illustrator gets carpal tunnel.

I hate the word "talented." It's an empty idea that obscures effort. I prefer to think some people are born with a "knack." A brain with a knack adapts to certain skillsets faster, but without dedication, knack falters. Many are born with more passion than knack, and passion succeeds every time.

I thought illustration paid like shit and saw a friend d took next to nothing for their first book and was appalled at what some artists are willing to work for and I am begging for yall to stop. The first step is to ask for a real price when doing commissions if you take them.
What really made me reconsider my prices was starting to work professionally. Once you start paying taxes on each of your gigs (and I'm proud of paying my part, don't get me wrong) you start to realise how much you need to charge to live decently.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

I think everyone should take shop classes, it hurts me to see people not know what materials are or have the confidence to do simple repairs.

From the spiral shells of prehistoric ammonites to uncanny depictions of organs and fish, Hiné Mizushima has a knack for combining cuteness and humor with the unusual and unseen.
