Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading.

Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own.

Just. Keep. Reading.

I think its important to note that this isnt just another AI scumbag. This guy is making hundreds of thousands of dollars doing this shit. I personally saw him making a $500+ sale at Dragon Con.

Please contact any convention you see him at and report him.

If you are a regular at conventions, I’m sure you’ve run into a booth named Salami Productions. This booth is run by a man named Marco. Marco regularly booths at Artist Alley, and has woven art displayed all over their booth alongside spicy stickers.

Someone on TikTok asked about the brush I made to hand-paint leaves and foliage, so I decided to share it for free. :)

It’s just a circle brush with custom flow, opacity, taper, etc.

You can get it on my Gumroad:

Here’s a little demo :) hope it helps
