That Jame Gunn quote.... Holy jfc level of 'yikes'

Lmao fuck this man I guess

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!! And these are a few of my favorite works I’ve made this year — and it would be a wonderful gift for me if you shared this post. (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)💘✨ ukrart #украрт #art #draw #illustration

How is started ➡️ How it's going Check out our queer disaster dark fantasy about two henchmen outrunning their terrible fates.✨ The Traitor & The Wretch is an illustrated novel written by me & illustrated by @skulkingfoxes.bsky.social Cover art by @fusspot.rip www.kickstarter.com/projects/bon...

Anyone wanna buy some mages?

My elderly mother doesn't like I hall monitor her in public.... but if I didn't she'd be leaving her cart at an angle in the Costco aisle.... which I see as a high chaotic sin.

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

Call your reps. I know you’re going to say “but mine don’t care” and let me tell you yes, they will actually care, because you don’t just call. After you call, you tell three friends who aren’t online, and ask them to call. Posting is useless. Pick up the phone and tell them not to sell your land.

Have to bring in some money, so I'm opening up something I normally only do for family and close friends... full color digital pet portraits. No, seriously. I love doing them, they're just a fair amount of work and are hence slightly more expensive. 10x15. Full color. Digital. $150.

He’s gonna send the troops into our cities to create violence as a pretense for shooting us to control the violence.

You can mute an acct but you can't stop folk from sharing screenshots of that acct in either disagreement or agreement with them........ A very online experience.

I still have “Pay-what-you-want” sketches open in order to help get to my goal of paying my storage rent bill next month. (I’m still working on my queue so it might take a little longer.) ko-fi.com/aorticinkwell

....Ok, so I'm seeing clips and I'm gonna be honest.... I didn't realize tanks were lame af.

No one is in danger from undocumented immigrants. EVERYONE is endangered by the fascist Right in this country and that means the GOP.

It’s not just that they normalize political violence. They also accuse the left of engaging in mostly imaginary violence, which gives unhinged right-wingers justification to “retaliate.”

Jfc.

Sooooo this is what my pack of habanero seeds grew up to be....... Sigh. Glad, I simply bought one when I noticed the leaves on this plant seemed wrong.....

....One day I hope to post art again.... One day.... I swear.... Seriously.... I'll probably have to break my weirdness of not posting wips of commissions tho....

#art

#ThrowbackThurday #art Enjoy some mages. I miss doing pieces where they're like 'Look at my new friend!'

if you see this post a flower 💐 I actually draw flowers a lot, and i'm always surprised by that.

WIP Been sick for the past few days but feeling a bit better now.... So I'm doing the ultimate cureall of drawing a headdress...

on the note of accessibility, i hope that means everyone is wearing KN95s or N95s. we’re in the middle of the “razor-blade throat” variant of covid, measles is spreading, and bird flu is officially airborne now.

sam altman plagarized all the fiction writers so the chatbot could regurgitate science fiction, make vulnerable ppl delulu and tell them to kill themselves. great

Wow! 14k. I never in my wildest dreams would've thought I'd reach a number like that. Here's an #ArtShare for all of us! I'll repost as many people that follow the rules as I can. This time I'm HIDING posts without alt (or shitty alt) so make sure you add good alt text. ;)

Repost your work and things. People actually see it here. Assume this guy comes around every 43 minutes or so.

Oh Bsky is dead? Good to know. Did any of the other social media sites fix it so I can make money there again? No. Oh they just like dunking on each other? Then they are dead too. Only brain dead fools would enjoy that as a pastime.

Okay, all. My honest advice, as someone who has to keep constant tabs on the news for work + also has multiple graduate degrees in global security/intelligence? Step away from social media tonight. Take a break and plan. Whether it's calling your reps, finding a protest, or -

...Too much news.

"The Midjourney lawsuit will make fanart illegal!" ... ...child, did you think it wasn't...? It's just bad optics for companies to go after it, but we've aaaaaaaallllllllll been committing a fuckton of crime, all along...

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

Yeah, scary movies are a 'portal'.... a 'portal' to seeing cool shit.

I'm Kim, a fantasy illustrator looking for work. So if you want a banger mage come to me~! Portfolio: www.kstramat.com Bi-Monthly Newsletter: www.kstramat.com/newsletter Patreon: patreon.com/kstramat Shop: ko-fi.com/kstramat/shop Email: [email protected]

Watching EA sabotage BioWare for a decade and it's truly tragic what we lost in the process. Not just great art via video games, but all of the devs who've had to go to therapy, quit the industry, leave their passion project behind or otherwise just have their opportunities ripped away from them.

An old piece from 2020 #art

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

I wish I could be more optimistic about that Disney/NBC Universal v. Midjourney thing..... I think it will simply be settled and then they both will continue the horrible crimes ai commits in a billionaire hug circle of harmony and screwing over everyone else.
