Why this take?

Bins look cheap, the "wall of art" is too much to take in, and no more than one deters theft or issues.

My take? Portfolio books are better and multiples are out of sight in boxes. I can upsell more, too, as I get things.

Don't know who will care, but my 2 cents on my what I never do at craft or artist alley tables:

1. No bins
2. No "wall of art" (Every print ever on a wall display)
3. No more than one of each on display

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

The resistance fought valiantly to push back the fascist forces, risking arrest & harm. The fascists tried beating them, tear gassing, and water cannons to push them back. The resistance was armed with only signs, flags, and the strength of their bravery. #3E #GeorgiaProtests

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

There’s a large part of the creative process that involves hours or days of experimentation. Unfortunately, when experimentation leads nowhere, it feels like you wasted a lot of time. The hard part is reminding yourself that you learned what DIDN’T work, and that’s very important.

I've got an event tomorrow, read all about it!

HO YEAH! It's Mistress "Paddelin'" Peggy Hill!

Straight from Arlen, TX, this goddess is here to punish those who don't obey her guidance. Just be glad she goes by "Paddelin'" instead.

Mistress Paddelin' Peggy Hill!

Finished these inks last night.

I actually messed up a few times, and even forgot the thumb, so I decided to use a white paint marker to make corrections. I haven't done that before, so this was a nice change.

Let's Go, Phillies!

I had this idea of a “screaming baseball” graphic, but with the Phillie Phanatic. I decided to go for a very 90's feel for it, too.

Enjoy!

"Fantasy, including cat ears and fairies."

They included that in some of the worst of the worst.

So credit card companies are coming up with some really dumb rules.

Oh, hey.

Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy".

Let that sink in.

Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Just a reminder, this is why people are so concerned about Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and Stripe not allowing the purchase of pornographic games

It's not about the porn and never had been. It's the stepping stone to what *they* deem obscene, which is the rights of LGBTQIA+ people

A 14 panel comic, a top tier of five panels shows a drawing of me, and in each of the subsequent panels the drawing of me gets simpler and simpler, with a cartoony drawing, a crude cartoon, then a stick man, then a smily face then a simple blob. Each time I'm saying "Hi" Tier two, panel one, the smiley face is sad and saying "PJ! I can't draw!" "How can I make comics" Panel 2, me as a simple cartoon "Oh that's ok, comics work..." panel 3, me as a very crudely drawn figiure my head tilted at a funny angle and Im saying "No matter your skill level" Panel 4 more simplistic drawing of me holding a ruler "As long as you can (sorta) draw a straight line " "(I use a ruler)" Panel 5 even more simple drawing "And a bubble" next (final) tier Panel 1 A simple circle with two dots for eyes and a small line for a mouth and a balloon coming from his mouth saying "People can be quite forgiving about the artwork" Panel 2 the round simple face meets a spikey simple face, spikey says "I'm not - I like GOOD artwork" me - "Oh" Panel 3 me (still a smiley face, but straight line mouth ) I have two stick arms raised up with little stick fingers and I'm saying "...Sorry..." Spike says "Bah" Panel 4 (last panel) Me, slightly better drawn (but only just) "OK - not everyone is quite forgiving about art" "BUT I AM" "Good luck!"

A comic about making comics (the alt text took longer to write than the comic did to draw * I drew this a few years ago)

Please don't stop or pause calling payment processors! All the work will be for nothing if we don't maintain the call volume.

And yes: calls, not emails. Emails can be dismissed, but calls cost them time and money.

Please do it for adult workers and for your own rights to use your money freely!

YouTube video by Arcas: The Man Of Style This Girl is a Bomb!

Saturday Morning in 1995.
Also, if you never watched "The Mask: The Animated Series," you're missing a hell of a show!

Matt and Trey did something that no one has really done well:

Shown that sometimes the best satire is dumb and simple.

Tonight's South Park was just perfect. Guttural, raw, and just them being silly the entire time. Sometimes you don't need to be clever, just funny. :)

“Mad King Donald”

On the day Trump was inaugurated, a channel was playing the 1973 animated Disney film, “Robin Hood.” A few months later, in April, Trump decided to declare himself a king, and this piece was born.

Ozzfest 2010: Ozzy Osbourne with Yuto Miyazawa - Upclose One of my favorite shots of the night: Ozzy Osbourne with 9-year-old Japanese guitar prodigy Yuto Miyazawa! This shot reminds me so much of Ozzy with Randy Rhodes. EDIT: WOW!!!! Thanks for all the wo...

Rest in peace, Ozzy Osbourne!
