Hi, I'm Mara! A queer artist with AuDHD and a constant headache (among other things) and with that a lot of exhaustion.

I do a lot of different art.
Currently I'm mainly focusing on rubber stamps. But I also do lino printing and love painting picture frames for art. And I love a good side project.
This ai fan is the funniest thing in a while. "You don't have to fix the code anymore. The machines are just THAT good now!!!" 😭🤡

A gentle reminder now is a good time to start dropping hints about your love of folklore themed linocut prints to friends and family.

Hat hier irgendwer schonmal #Amitriptylin abgesetzt und möchte von seiner*ihrer Erfahrung berichten?

Will das auch demnächst tun und ich wäre dankbar für jegliche Berichte (z.B. über Umgang mit Entzugssymptomen, Dauer des Ausschleichens) und Ratschläge.
Gerne Reskeet 💙

HAHAHAHAHA
I think that may be the core division here: if you are an author or an artist the cons of generative AI very likely outweigh the pros for you

If you are a software developer the opposite is true

I haven't seen a post like this going around yet, so I'll make it myself! EU-based artists, tell us what you sell and drop a link to your shop in the replies ❤️

Everyone else: please spread the thread and check out the artists if you want to support human made art this holiday season 🌟

My life was a lot better/easier when my brother had a subscription for Stiftung Warentest (a service that tests things and writes articles about it).

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

I just click on "don't show channel again", when I see yet another video with "your sewing sucks" or "that's why your art looks like shit" and such. I just can't take this negativity.
Yes, my sewing doesn't look that polished. So what? It doesn't have to. We live in this world, where everything

I'm just realizing I never posted a final piece here for the Big Gay Back Piece. So: here it is, in all of its glory! 100% healed (the newest pieces around 4-5 months in our touch up session). Probably around 25-30 hrs under the needle, many more drawing and iterating and placing stencils

Glad to see this @wired.com guide on high quality masks! A KN95 can help protect you and your loved ones from COVID-19 and other airborne viruses, especially during this busy travel season. I only wish Wired wrote about the pandemic in the present tense 🙏😷
