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.

how your email finds me

a cat with a very very saggy face looking miserable/tired/unimpressed next to a blue ball and a nice scratching post

a cat with a very very saggy face looking at the camera with an expression that can only read as “i may not want to die, that’s way too far, but i certainly would enjoy ceasing to exist for a little while before coming back to regular life with no consequences as a result of my absence”

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

I came in one morning to find a cute trinket left on my table. Duck has been guarding my table when I leave each day. We love Duck. ❤️

I guess I won't be able to offer mini prints of my Isabelle piece anymore. In a chain of events, I deleted the file thinking I had a copy elsewhere and it was actually just a shortcut to the file I deleted. 🙃

Pride Month starts tomorrow.

I'm going to post this once again.

An edit of the "Don't Make Me Tap The Sign" meme from The Simpsons saying "Corporations do not care about you and you should support independent queer artists and creators and give them your money instead of these companies who will end up fucking them over because they don't care about the LGBTQ+ community"

"you can draw whatever you want to draw. it's fine. you're allowed. nobody thinks you're weird. people are here for the art. drawing whatever is fun for you is the privilege you are owed for being able to draw. it's fine. you are not a one-trick pony. god damn it."

meme of a man staring intently into his own eyes in the mirror, pointing at himself, like he's giving himself a peptalk, which is exactly what I'm doing here
