It’s really cool and validating to have your therapist tell you that you’ve gotten more assertive, and in a way that works well for you.

Many of his newer pieces look disjointed and appear to have different styles. Aka he’s likely using ai to some degree and then tracing/drawing characters on top.

For context: this man was at DragonCon and was suspected of using ai. He was not kicked out, but he began threatening some of the biggest artists who were talking about it with legal action. Since the show, several large creators have organized the evidence and made videos about him.

James C Mulligan is a joke passing himself off as a real artist.

The evidence is damning.

Ki @ SHOP IS OPEN ✨ @gawki.bsky.social · 2d

James C Mulligan is going after vids and people who call him out for selling AI images. He’s using copyright as an excuse to get them removed, which is so baffling considering he’s a serial tracer. He has claimed official Bambi background art as his own, but there’s so much more.

A long 🧵

No ethical consumption under capitalism and all BUT I promise you'd be happier and make an actual material difference for someone if every time you wanted to buy another labubu/fast fashion item/pack of magic cards you just comm'd art from an small/indie/hobbyist artist.

Promise.

I had a Zabaz deck, but I recently turned that into a punchy Kilo, Apogee Mind deck. It’s a blast, but I would love a deck to put my Darksteel foil Suncrusher and Solarion into

Hey Gmail,

You have no idea why I'm searching for something so you aren't helping by listing the results in "most relevant" order. Just keep it chronological and be quiet.

Disrespectfully,
Probably everyone

On my quest to make my studio a space I want to work in, I just cleaned my office chair. Did it two days ago and dried looking like I just moved the dirt around. Today, I spent about an hour outside with a carpet cleaner.

Let’s hope that got all the dirt out!

I recently saw some interview and they were talking about going through an artist’s entire library from start to finish. I thought that’d be fun!

So I’ll start with Linkin Park’s Hybrid Theory.

I bought most of LP’s albums on vinyl earlier this week. Only one I couldn’t find was “One More Light”

Just got the record player and speakers set up! Unfortunately I do not have any records to play yet. Those get here next week.

I was recently asked by a close friend, “What are you doing to celebrate yourself (after all the cool things you’ve achieved this year because you haven’t stopped all year)?”

So far, I’ve decided to remake my studio into a space I like to be in again.

Oh, I haven’t done ANYTHING since MagicCon!!! 🤣

Jokes aside, I do also plan on starting to take trips just to visit friends.

I recently reorganized and cleaned up the studio and I couldn’t help but feel like I wanted to be in there again.

Because of that, I decided to buy a mount for my iPad so I can replace it with my cintiq, a record player, some new speakers, and most of Linkin Park’s albums on vinyl.

I used to work in my studio all the time. I did some of my most popular pieces in it.

However, since I switched to Procreate, I no longer work in there much, aside from admin work.

Because of that, I kinda hate working in there.
