We live in hell. Might not be a bad idea to request secondary images (distinctive lighting/settings) to make sure your product doesn’t get distorted or have drastic changes in appearance between photos for any refunds.
Heads up for all my art friends that have an online store.

Skill. Issue.
Once, during a storm, an older gentleman knocked on my Cuban godmother’s door and after some pantomime because neither spoke much English, she determined he needed eggs. She gave him the last of what she had even though she was on a fixed income. 1/6

If you're a deer that was at MFF, at the Hyatt Regency, that went thru TSA Precheck at ORD Terminal 5 at 8:45am, you left your deer head base on the conveyor! I stood with it for 15 mins hoping you'd come back, then told a TSA agent what it was (+ how $$ it is) and they put it at their front desk 🙏

Once again considering wireless headphones for specific use cases (I cannot wear earbuds, so everything I have is wired and most devices HATE that)... and once again it seems like all tech is expensive, but also kinda sucks now?

*kicks over table while biting clean through a lit candelabra* If your career was built on glorious, visible imperfections of human hands, "embracing AI" is spitting on the grave of all those artists' hard work and expression, and what you make without their participation AND consent is NOT ART!

Y'all I need to get this #SoldierBoy helmet sold by the 12th. I'm looking for reasonable offers. Please keep in mind that it took me ~40 hrs to design, prototype and build this and also Jensen's auto by itself costs $150.

I don't know who needs to hear this but Sean Mcquillan worked on set decoration and props for season 5 of The Magicians and he posted a gallery of his own set photos six years ago on Reddit and all I want to do is devote 2026 to recreating them in miniature 😭

If you have success in any field and take time to punch down, I have no use for you or your work. Especially in a *fundamentally* collaborative field where everyone's struggling. If you have power and privilege and choose to wield it against colleagues without cause, then absolutely get in the sea.

Dane is great, everyone in this Discord is great, if you make art for merch you should join (I am the server's inverse Spiders Georg since I haven't been able to design anything/do cons recently and should not be counted, but I vouch for them fully!)
I’m so down to share what I know to other artists and help folks learn to do what I do, I have a discord for it. discord.gg/Pdp9vM8CA
