mood of the morning.

The biggest mistake every corporation is making right now is becoming *so* shitty that people are actually realizing we *don't* need that thing we spent 90% of our lives thinking we would die without.

Learning to draw really just takes lots of time and practice. But when you say that a bunch of people are like "if that was true, then I could do it!" And then you're like "yes" and then they're like "see? that's why you're lying!!" and then they continue to not practice because they don't like to

I've said this before but just because some artists are able to draw BIPOC characters sometimes does not mean that they are "safe" for us to be around.
Discernment is good to have, and I don't think I'll ever let that go.
The keyword here is "sometimes".

so very surprising that a filmmaker famous for stealing from - sorry, paying homage to - Satoshi Kon would gladly embrace the latest theft machine

Abolish ICE!
For your printer, in both color and black and white.

These are gorgeous Tessa! 😍

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

here is my little hack that helps sometimes

Imagine doing a murder on a train and then you see Poirot. You’re so fucked

The odd perspective was all me 😆 mostly to make it look more medieval 🛡️

AI’s Memorization Crisis Large language models don’t “learn”—they copy. And that could change everything for the tech industry.

GenAI companies keep claiming the books and copyrighted works their programed were "trained" on without permission didn't retain complete copies in their systems. This was a lie.

These companies may now face for even more liability for violating copyrights. 1/

All the best illustrators you have ever known or heard of, whether they admit to it or not, likely make heavy use of reference. Use it. Even if your style is more abstract, the advice still applies.

what do you mean the stranger things documentary shows them writing the script on a computer with 3 chat gpt tabs open

Illustrated poster of the tower of Cirith Ungol in the land of Mordor. In the foreground are a bunch of orcs and goblins with acid green rim-light holding swords and axes and pole-arms. In the middle ground is a narrow bridge leading between two grotesque statues into the multi tiered tower that is lit with sickly green lights. Below it leading into the plateau of Gorgoroth are the hills of the Ethel Duath. In the distance is Orodruin and Ered Lithui. The text at the top is white flame like black metal lettering with the words CIRITH UNGOL. Nine green stars float above them. Plumes of smoke and ash fill the sky. A tiny shadow is grossing the bridge. Lord of the Rings. Tolkien. Prints on InPrint.

Digital illustration of a The Lord OF The Rings cover. A Nazgûl sits astride its horse between 2 red trees that make a circle. Int he background is Weathertop, the Misty Mountains and Orodruin. Overlapping risk colours - red, teal and yellow. Some mushrooms in the foreground.

Read what you want, darlings, but it's odd when books that happen to feature sex are treated as radioactive and those about murder are treated as general interest.

a black and white illustration of 4 ICE agents standing at the other side of an open door. They are silhouetted except for their glowing eyes and bared teeth. The text reads “our dire investigations had led us here. danger is everywhere - it is best to comply. may we enter?”

don’t let them in. fuck ice. fuck fascists

Thank you! 🥰🫶🏼

Hehe yesss! 😆 Fuck AI forever 🚫🤖🗡️🐉

I drew parts of it badly on purpose so a lot of it doesn’t make sense 😆

Yes you got so many! Also - the puddle to show how much water AI wastes, and it’s stealing the pattern from the horse (poorly) 😆

Starting the new year with a renewed hatred for all things Gen AI. So I drew a knight slaying a dragon, can you spot all the hints that the monster is AI? 🌞

If you’re not willing to draw the line on your participation in a platform at “it helps create sexualized images of minors against their will” then I’m not sure you have a line or that it’s particularly meaningful.

Many such cases but might as well acknowledge it.

Soft digital pastel illustration. Close-up of a green tiled path with some leaves and twigs. Dappled light, like the kind that filters through tree leaves, scattered across the path.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
