To all of my fellow artists, if you or someone you know lives in a state with senators who are on the fence or republican, bombard their phones tonight and tomorrow. The vote happens tomorrow, Saturday (6/28/2025), and if it passes, this will be devastating. Fight back! 💙✊🎨 Say no to Ai! 🚫🤖

For those of you who have followed me because of the printer guide, or the handful of people I may know personally, I imagine the constant reminder of the broligarchy and authoritarian take over from either my posts or others may be getting tiresome. Rest assured that more art is being made by me.

It's too easy to give in, give up, and fall in line. To allow algorithmic complacency, as @techconnectify.bsky.social put it, to chain us to an authoritarian grab for power. Thank you @carolecadwalla.bsky.social for reminding us we have the power, and we can say NO to Ai. youtu.be/TZOoT8AbkNE?...

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Thank you John Oliver and the @lastweektonight.com team for covering another aspect of the issues and dangers of generative Ai and Ai tech in general. It's a huge issue that goes beyond small business owners like artists, and impacts everyone. More people need to understand why it's bad for us all.

I have very strong feelings when it comes to the predatory business practices of tech companies that build generative Ai and "Ai"tech. Explaining how this negatively impacts small businesses owners like artists is tough, but I'm glad John Oliver and friends did just that and then some.

Where are all the Gundam and Hip Hop fans on Bluesky at? Ages ago I decided to combine my love of Hip Hop and Gundam together, calling it Hip Hop Gundam. Since 2014, my designs have been enjoyed by people all across the globe. If you dig this, give it a repost 🔁 easterlyart.com/index.php/hi...

I never thought I would ever see my artwork on Discogs, and if I did, I figure I would be the one posting it, but someone else made this page for Skeme Richards Digs Tava Tava Rare. I've been working hard on a secret project for years now, so it's nice to have newer work out in the open.

Florida officials pressured schools to remove books without proper review—violating their own laws and the First Amendment. ALA joined 40+ groups and authors calling on lawmakers to investigate this dangerous overreach. 📚💙 #UniteAgainstBookBans www.tallahassee.com/story/news/l...

I can't stress enough to my fellow cartoonists, just because you're not tabling at an event doesn't mean you don't have a reason to attend. The Billy Ireland is already a great reason to visit CXC along with the expo on the weekend, but I know this announcement should get a ton of people geeked!

Does visa law have a free speech exemption for creative work while at a comic-con on a business/tourist visa or ESTA? What about reporting on conventions or graphic novels with political content? Check out the new post on the CBLDF website for an overview! cbldf.org/2025/06/visa...
