It's crazy. The fact that they go out of their way to fool people gives away the game. They know art takes effort and people are willing to pay for the skill. No one is willing to pay for something they can pump out themselves for cheap. AI is sold and marketed on anyone can do it themselves.

This one was done for @nwalkertalker.bsky.social

A food cellar has been infested with fluffy critters that look like a cross of a rat, bat, and long ant eater like nose. They are drinking the wine, getting fat on grapes, and munching on spilled grain.

Hey fellow Californians. Remember to call our reps to oppose the sale of the millions of acres public land this administration is stealing from us and future generations.

Call their local and DC offices. Write. Leave messages. Be annoying. Advocate for our wilderness.

Watched 'Sinners' last night with my partner and friend. Almost missed it in the theater but glad I didn't. Damn, it was so good. I haven't been this happy with a film in a long while.

If you have the chance, go see it. It deserves more eyeballs.

This is a very dumb art I made for myself, partner, and our friend Nikaleles. Our characters dressed as this trio according to who they fit best.
I'll get to coloring it when I find the time.

I was tired today, but a little hike with my partner really rejuvenated me. Took lots of photos in the perfect weather. They will be great refs for the ongoing project with Transition Habitat.

Here is a small sample of what we found today.

Did the meme. Took the personality quiz and posted the first 4 I recognized.

Don't know what this says about me, but Geordi and I can be bffs.

Yesterday was not the best. Many things went wrong, not much went right. Lost time for one of my hobbies I was getting back into. Im optimistic though and looking forward to drawing some art today. Maybe do a bike ride for fun. Then, possibly watch Star Trek. Hopefully, Star Trek. Trek is good...

More insect art incomming. It's a bug kind of week.

Do you have a favorite insect? Beetle, bug, spider?

I like tarantulas. Not sure if they are my favorite, but they are neat little doods.
