Made another cool character render

This time with a side character for my planned series named Terra-Byte 🤖💻

"A Brave New Strategy: Sending Spenders to Better Businesses."

consistency works against progress.

creating short stories is great because you can try something new every time. A whole book requires a level of consistency that doesn't leave much room for improvement

Im sorry to be so pushy about this right now but I had to go to the ER and urgent care yet again recently and things are extremely tight.

Semi-regular reminder to artists that you can help maximize the number of reposts you get by adding brief descriptive alt text to your images that gives some idea of medium and subject. You don't have to write a novel to reach out to the part of your audience that relies on alt text 💜

Hi! I'm one of the millions not getting SNAP benefits this month.

Because of that + the fact that I (not a member of SAG-AFTRA) survived the strike by burning my savings rather than working SL6 or NU…my finances are *rough* but not *immediately dire.*

I'm open to work with clients of all sizes. ✌🏻

I missed this until today but want to share it because it’s great.

I’ve been increasingly conscious of anti-AI witch hunting, as well as the conflations and equivalences tarring legitimate creative tech with the same brush. It’s gonna hurt the fight against Regurgitative AI.

Reel that shit in.

Teen Vogue possesses more integrity and professionalism than NYT and WaPo combined.

Cyborg mascots attack BIG BOSS ROBO!! NO ART WITHOUT WORKERS!! (Note: Jessi added this alternative description for the March newsletter for a bit more clarity: A red, black, and white illustration of the Cartoonist Cooperative's mascots, Inkling (an inkwell) and Nibford (a dip pen), smashing a cyborg boss character. Text above and below reads, "No art without workers!")

The Cartoonist Co-op is no longer affiliated with Affinity due to their recent integration of AI tools.

“Oh poor people can buy popsicles with food stamps” shut the fuck up the government gives perverts a trillion dollars in government money each year for pervert factories for billionaires the fucking popsicles are none of your fuckin business

A digital illustration somewhat in the manner of a colored engraving. A whaling ship under full sail in rough seas trying to outrun a storm on the horizon behind them. Meanwhile a sperm whale many times the size of the ship and with feathered wings instead of fins flies above the ship with unknown intent. Wide block letters above the whale read ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Every $1 donation provides 4 or 5 meals from food banks. Even a donation of $5 right now can feed up to two dozen people. No, we shouldn’t have to do this. But we can.

What I'm saying is if you're making comics or practicing whatever art you do, you're already winning. The arts expects you to be great in your chosen field, also be able to do promo in a vacuum, all your own admin and somehow always have money. It's not realistic. Making anything is the victory.

fuck censorship and free Palestine
🐾⭐️🇵🇸🤬💥‼️

Cancer of the ovary, fallopian tube or peritoneum usually causes symptoms that are similar to common non-cancerous conditions. This can make it difficult to diagnose early. If you have any of these symptoms or get these symptoms regularly, your GP should offer you cancer tests: • a long-lasting bloated or swollen tummy • feeling full quickly when you eat • loss of appetite • pain in the lower tummy area or back • peeing (passing urine) more often than usual • needing to pee urgently (feeling like you cannot hold on). Other symptoms may include: • a change in your normal bowel function (diarrhoea or constipation) • weight loss for no obvious reason • unexplained or extreme tiredness (fatigue) • vaginal bleeding after the menopause. If you are aged 50 or older and develop symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) for the first time, you should also have tests. IBS can cause bloating and changes in bowel function. But it does not usually start after the age of 50.

There’s no screening for ovarian cancer and it’s really difficult to spot: you can’t squidge your ovaries in the shower to check for lumps. Also it’s very good at masquerading at other things, like IBS and diverticulitis.

Please take a look at this list of symptoms - and share if you can.

I can’t emphasize enough right now that the millionaires tax in Massachusetts has allowed public schools to provide free lunch and breakfast for all students. We can take their money and do good things with it!

I hope that romance novels will be written about people who meet each other on neighborhood ICE monitoring patrols. They will see each other regularly on the streets, be drawn to each other by the visible whistles around their necks, get to know one another, fall in love, and end fascism.

Who has a better approach to transgender rights? NEW JERSEY 🔵 Sherill 52% 🔴 Ciattareli 32% VIRGINIA 🔵 Spanberger 53% 🔴 Sears 41% Atlasintel #A+ - LV - 10/30

every news outlet and journalist who calls trans rights a losing issue should be forcefed soap and their own regrets

One of the right wing's top cultural initiatives was trying to destroy the idea that assholery deserves shame and we'll have to reverse that. "I'm just expressing an opinion I'm entitled to." Ok but you're an asshole. "I'm simply doing a business practice that technically isn't illegal." Ok. Asshole

Censorship is now coming for your dnd and your warhammer and your farming sim, they don't care if it's not adult content. They wanted everything

Jacinthe from Pokémon Legends ZA in a pose from the music video for the song "Monitoring" by Deco*27. Her face is extremely close to the camera, a fisheye effect makes one eye closer than the other. Gaudy, psychedelic particle effects; rainbows, stars, hearts, glitter, etcetera, surround her.

Part of Jacinthe's theme sounded kind of familiar...

I understand “but support the artists!” feels like a reason to stay, but artists get paid basically nothing per stream and maybe the loss of spotify royalties will move your faves to act

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

The 82-year-old female architect working to flood-proof Pakistan Yasmeen Lari is making bamboo houses for people living on the front lines of climate change.

One of those really cool bits of news: women teaching women how to build flood-safe huts out of local materials - and making them pretty works of art, too!!
