Portrait illustration of Chandra Nalaar, from Magic: the Gathering. Woman with curly hair and broad nose looks off to the left. She wears pauldrons and a breastplate, both with gold trim. She also wears golden goggles.

The illustration has a limited palette, using the same reds of the background within the figure, playing with the negative space

Drawing of Enid Sinclair and Wednesday Addams from the TV show Wednesday, made by bibinella. It shows the scene at the end of Season 1 where the two characters are hugging tightly after the events. The text on the bottom reads "You are safe".

I feel like I need to do a concise fountain pen sins post, for when people can't remember who did what.

-Muji: coerced Uyghur labor
-Noodler's: racism (egregious), ink damages pens, covid conspiracist.
-Goulet: anti-queer, on staff for a southern Baptist Convention church.

A grim illustration showing us a mysterious place. Children are standing in line, their heads bowed, l their parents behind them, holding them tensely. A weird old creature covered in a mix of rugs and jewelry, slowly goes by, gesturing towards one of them, a girl, marking their choice with creepy white hand, decorated with many bracelets. The girl is the only one looking at the creature, her face is tense but not scared.

Second illustration from Cynthia Sheppard’s course at Smarter Artschool. The focus was on showing the story through characters interactions. I struggled a lot with ideas for the second part of the course, but I like what I came up with.

You Have To Care How thoughtless art paves the way for AI slop and how I'm freeing myself from it.

Did low effort content pave the way for AI? While it's easy to blame big tech, the recent onslaught of slop caters to an audience that has proven time and time again that they prefer quantity to quality. I talked about what it looks like to reclaim your taste and, by extension, your self respect.

It’s been a year since my father died. My life has changed so much since then. For all the improvementsβ€”new place, new job, new stateβ€”there’s a childish part of me that wishes I could show him.

You know what? Let me give y'all a fucking example.

Calling something "racist" or "white supremacist" will literally be interpreted by white people (broadly construed) as adjacent to an ad-hominem attack because of how we've culturally organized our understanding of racism and white supremacy.

Book cover illustration by Eleonor Piteira, of Vengeful by V. E. Schwab, featuring a woman with dark short hair floating above two men. The two men, one dark-haired and the other blond, are in profile, glaring at each other. From the woman's hands, she is manipulating red threads linked to the red dotted halos around the men's heads.
On the background there is a city with multiple high-rise buildings, and the sun is setting behind them.

Here are the cover illustrations I did for the special @illumicrate.bsky.social edition of VENGEFUL by V. E. Schwab!

This is the combined version of the acetate dust jacket (with the characters) and the case cover (with the city). I posted the cover for Vicious on a separate post.

There are a lot of people who are going to complain about being unfairly vilified by that halftime show and it's because they know in their hearts they're on Team Hate.
