Keep biting, keep barking. Don’t let yourself be muzzled.

Here's a phenomenon I've noticed: creative people building their skills, network and profile; deciding it's time for a Big Project (a book, zine, album, whatever); releasing it; and then essentially disappearing. I think it's because anything less than an avalanche of orders and a flood of praise...

Stolen from Facebook,

But also raises a good point,

Imo mimics should grow with intelligence as they grow older. It'd be cool if elder mimics could pose as humans...
Okay now I imagine an elder mimics running a shop and that's pretty funny.

Every time I come back to bsky I am always struck by how much better it is than Twitter. It's just such a shame the numbers are not here.

bsky is really interesting bc to me it looks like twitter, but it FEELS like a tumblr audience? like in the way people interact with posts more.. i stopped posting text posts - thoughts and non-art stuff - on twitter bc it felt like talking into the void AHAHAHA

oh hey look its my art

My video game backlog could beat up your video game backlog

FREELANCE TIP

If the client is a company, in addition to charging a commercial price, always add +15% for negotiation.

If they want to negotiate a price, work on that 15%.

Most of the time they need you more than you need them.

Finally got my handle updated to just use jifyrex.com as my handle. A bit of a pain, but mostly just since I was a dumbass who couldn't find my DNS panel with Squarespace.
