Reminds me of the Christmas book I saw recently.

Would they fight or be friends?

Happy Birfday from Cakee the Crake from AutoSpace!!!

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Original painting for sale as well as these mini lenticular prints.
Special thanks to my sister in law @sara_lee_photo for posing as a reference!

I painted two portraits of Mary, one alive and one dead. I then had them printed as a lenticular and set it in a custom mirror-style frame.
The show is on view through Nov 1 at the Factory Store in the park.

For this year’s Into the Fog art show at Knott’s, I tried something a little different for me. This piece is based on new maze MARY: THE HAUNTING OF WORTH HOUSE, Scary Farm’s spin on the Bloody Mary story.

Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!

It would have to be melancholy in his pose because Cool Ranch just looks like plain yellow. It's what I used for the background of Dorito Walt.

(No offense to Cool Ranch Doritos, my literal favorite chip)

Thanks!!!
He was a perfect mix of my love of theme parks and chips! 😁😁

Oil painting based on The Depths haunted house at Knott's Scary Farm. A mermaid skeleton on a nighttime beach with a lighthouse on the cliffs above and a pirate ship in the distance being attacked by a kraken.

A metallic acrylic painting of the Pele statue at Disneyland's World Famous Enchanted Tiki Room, featuring some bromeliads on the side.

A Gibson girl inspired painting of the bride from the Haunted Mansion with realistic rose and hatchet in the foreground.

Dems are too afraid of sounding classist in the economic sense to make the obvious observation that the Trump GOP has leaned hard into being the part of trash. That’s their elevator pitch. Are you human garbage tired of being made to feel inferior to basically decent people? We’re on your side!

what a humiliating way for don jr. to find out his dad sends birthday cards.

Search LibGen, the Pirated-Books Database That Meta Used to Train AI Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Gonna need to see a lot more politicians call for removing “A.i.” from government and education and defunding OpenAI and ChatGPT.

Tremendous crossover move right here:

Two animated characters discuss a vague statement regarding the Epstein files, while a fat orange pedo figure stands in the background pm a rooftop.

Dan Gregor was a writer on Naked Gun?! Definitely want to see it (more) now!

(Did improv with him years ago. Such a funny guy)

An in progress painting of the movie poster for Charlie Chaplin's City Lights.

Day 3 progress, live painting at the OC Fair in the Rewind exhibit.
Did the lettering by hand, no tape.

Here's my progress from the first two Sundays.

I'm back live painting at the Orange County Fair this year at Rewind: A VHS Revival, an exhibit of hand painted classic movie posters. I'm one of four painters recreating posters during the fair. I'll be there Sundays, come say hi!

RIP Chuck Mangione.

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" yeah well I asked my friend Joe, I asked my friend Jake, they said it was fhqwhgads

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

there are so many great things about generative AI! here are some of my favorites <3

Update: It survived 20+ miles on the freeway on the drive home but was gone when I checked this morning.

Went to leave work last night and found a stowaway on the back-up camera

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

every single person I know who’s excited about generative AI is the most boring person you’ve ever met

ICE agents in full combat gear on the streets of Los Angeles. On top of a military vehicle is an agent with a full-ass machine gun on a tripod.

Even if you assume the legitimacy of ICE operations, the idea that a fucking truck-mounted machine gun is necessary to carry them out is insane.

This is about intimidation. This is them letting us know that the streets of the United States have been militarized.
