I made a comic.

Four panels. Panel 1: pile of clothes on chair, pile of clothes on floor, pile of hangers on floor. Text: I'll do better tomorrow. Panel 2: toothbrush in a cup, flosser next to it, I can do it! brush my teeth chart with stars on Monday AM, Wednesday PM, Saturday AM. More stars by chart. Text: I'll do better tomorrow. Panel 3: open laptop says sent job applications: 0. Text: I'll do better tomorrow. Panel 4: crying eyes looking into identical crying eyes in mirror. Text: I'll do better tomorrow

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

I can’t stress enough how utterly embarrassing it is to see experienced artists suddenly use AI

I can never have a shred of respect for someone who used to be a peer & who decided to embrace something that’s the opposite of any craft & any human endeavour

For autumn #WorldMigratoryBirdDay:
Charley Harper (USA, 1922-2007)
Birds of a Feather [Red-Winged Blackbirds], 1974
Serigraph, 31 x 24 in.
www.charleyharperartstudio.com/birds-of-a-f...
#BirdsInArt

digital image of the serigraph, from an original painting: migrating flock of male red-winged blackbirds with autumn leaves blowing through, in Harper’s signature “minimal realism” style

“Flocking together as summer wanes, a brigade of bachelor red-winged blackbirds swings into the southbound lane, where traffic is backed up to the Arctic Circle. But where are the brownish females? Flocking apart. Red-winged congregations are strictly his or hers, except in spring when they sing, “I’m ok-a-lee, you’re ok-a-lee”, and consort among the cattails long enough to make sure there will always be red-winged blackbirds. Then it’s back to separate dorms—flocking together apart.”
–Charley Harper

Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

If I don't get the job (likely) I'll have to apply for more sub positions because apparently two (one small school, one big school) is not enough, seeing as I haven't worked in two weeks :/
