Encouraging people to make more things by showing my triumphs and disasters. Quite a lot of my life is TikTok.

I also narrate audiobooks

Whatever creative endeavours you engage in on the interwebs this single image should be your armour against the bottom half of the internet and it's dull, negative nitwits

If you make a statement about art and the image which illustrates that point is AI you know nothing about art

Take the word "Art" out of your mouth
