Hi y'all, my kitty has been dealing with health challenges lately, and since I'm in between gigs, I'm opening up pet commissions!
(I can also do regular OC + D&D commissions, and furry commissions)
Work examples and request forms are at:
Jackieyackycomms.carrd.co (link also in bio!)💕
Thank you! ✨

This is such great deal, highly recommend (and not just cause @helveticablanc.bsky.social is a friend, but they are a skilled artist making very cool stuff you won’t see anywhere else!)
Happy Solstice! From now through the end of the year, all of my digital zines are half off, or get all 50 zines for $25!

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

“Oh I only used AI for placeholders or idea starters” does not make it better! If you are using it for any part of the creative process then you’re no longer doing the process!
"placeholder text" "concept art" either the temporary thing you put in matters to the process, in which case you need to get a human to work on it, or it doesn't, in which case you can just as easily put a bright pink rectangle that says PLACEHOLDER in and save everyone time and effort

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor.
"I can't afford a visual artist"
So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them?
Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

The thing I struggle with most as a digital artist is so much software is made and marketed to artists without regard for how artists work or what they need. A lot of storyboarding software is made for people who don't draw, which is why SB Pro became the industry standard bcuz it's for ARTISTS.

This is a very divided vote. It means we've been encouraging dissent. It now goes to the full committee. Please keep calling and urging your reps to reject it
KOSA passed out of the subcommittee in the House on 13-10 vote. Meaning that they are FINALLY listening to some opposition. But not enough to prevent the other age verification bills from passing, let alone this.
They MUST listen to opposition. Losing this fight is NOT an option.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson has proposed disastrous cuts to our city's libraries while setting aside $5M for a ShotSpotter replacement. As library associate Sara Heymann told me, “Libraries embody everything we need to fight back against fascism.” My piece on what’s at stake and how to fight back:
You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries
“Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

DCAF is a masked event! We’ll have free masks available but it’s good to have your own this holiday season! Because none of us want to miss out on the festivities due to illness or worse!

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')
