Today I found out that the screen printing shop I work for is closing because they couldn't recover after COVID fucked the supply chain and the cost of everything rose. It's a game only the big businesses can compete in now.

I hate this hellscape. Literally the best job I've had, down the drain.

When you have an audience or a business you have to ensure that you always provide a lot more value to people than you extract from them. If you don't then, long term, it all breaks down.

Young people I talk to today...they feel like the whole entire world has broken this contract with them.

HEY Y'ALL don't sleep on this. You are actually saving $13 on this deal. You get a $5 discount on the books themselves when bought together, and with the free shipping in the US, that's an additional $8 you save! I'm leaving it up for just today only. ko-fi.com/s/4958920b19

various people dressed in knightly armour with helmets that have a large pale circle on the front where a face would be, descend a long staircase. At the top of the stairs is a grey castle with the outline of a circle drawn on the front.

A drawing of a tiny deer-like creature known as a sycafawn. It has a large set of horns that resemble sycamore seeds. Its entire body is covered in leaf-like structures that are green, yellow and pale orange in colour.

Doodled up a little #Flowerpunk species, the sycafawn!

One of the tiniest members of the unguligrowth group of magical creatures, they reach a height of just a few inches. They live in and around sycamore trees as the name suggests, disguising themselves as seeds.

I’m talking beautiful things like a community garden, skill and tool exchanges, free community medical care. The only way to escape these systems is to make it so they’re optional, not essential, for our survival.

So, build or learn something new this year. Your β€œsurvival hobby.” Then share it!

Product Brain. It is pure, malignant Product Brain.

Art is a product, the purpose of which is to reach a certain quality / commercial value, and through that lens, of COURSE mass-produced, instantly available, Looks-Good-Enough-If-You-Squint genAI slop seems like the perfect tool and solution.

A meme made by me. Screenshot from the PokΓ©mon anime. A boy stands with his arms raised while four people aim weapons at him. Over the boy, it says "me" and over the gun wielding people it says "Rising prices, depression, bills, no work"

I made this design to exhibit the contrast between day and night, light and dark, life and death, and the sun and moon.

This 2.5" iridescent sticker depicts a woman doused in the light of a sunset while the opposite side exposes her skull with moonlight. It's printed on an "oil slick" material, giving a soft color change quality in different light.

This 2.5" holographic sticker features two hands intertwined, one white and the other black, atop a backdrop of an eclipse and a symbol of a sun and a moon flanking either side. It's printed on a holographic material that has a crystal/stained glass pattern that shimmers beautifully in different light.

This 2.5" shiny sticker features the Grim Reaper, Death himself, backlit by the moon and surrounded by the parchment of a scroll as he holds his scythe. It's printed on a shiny silver material that gives it a sharp, foreboding contrast in some lighting situations.

New stickers I made from the art of my first set of enamel pins!! They have some pretty dope effects too, the pictures don't do them justice. ✨

They're on my shop!

They either don't see a difference between what an artist who cares can do and what an AI spits out, or they don't care.

If only a small percentage of people with a trained eye will notice a flaw and not buy because of it, they'd rather take the hit than spend more money to ensure it's *good.*
