If I was planning Nintendo Switch 2 sales vs tariffs and prices had to go up, I'd include some Shop credit or some digital download codes. I wonder if digital sales get taxed by an import tariff since it's just electricity in the end.

Maybe trying to do big shelf impact "this is unmistakably a Switch 2 game". Top red bar is a little oof but hopefully less confusing than new 3ds games

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

I also learned that if I add emoji (literally these guys ✌️👽) into the text of a WordPress post either WordPress or Themify freaks out and deletes all of the content of the post. Lucky I copied the post export before it exploded and I could troubleshoot it. Maybe emojis require a plugin 😂

Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction

Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez

Christie’s, New York

Dear Nicole and Sebastian,

We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s.

Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them.

Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work.

We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction.

Yours sincerely,

The undersigned artists

Finished this painting for a friend recently. Been meaning to write up a blog post or something about it when I have time. I started it at a painting workshop at CoSM last year led by Randall Roberts. I can think of a couple more things I'd work on still but I think it came out well

“NOTE TO ALL NAZIS FASCISTS AND KLANSMEN” 

You delight,

So it would seem,

At making mince- meat of my dream.

If you keep on,

Before you’re through,

I’ll make mince- meat

Out of you.
