Think of all the artists who just post commissions. That's all they ever have time for. You don't know what they like or who their OCs are because they're always working.

throw $$ at artists to draw their own shit, please. Like, genuinely, please.

When we say β€œmake weird art” we mean don’t pull punches, be vulnerable, be brave. Make the art you’re terrified to show other people, make art without regard for what’s popular or acceptable. Make something messy and human and singular to you. Or don’t! It’s said for those who need to hear it

said it once and i'll say it again. we as a society do NOT need ai generated images or ai chatbots to engage with our faves. if you're down bad enough for a character they will start beaming dialogue directly into your head and you will be able to hear it in their voice

Some details of a binding of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus by M.W. Shelley. Bound in fair calf with onlays of stingray, inlays of dyed calf, piercings of steel wire. Lines are blind tooled in red foil and edge to edge paper doublures were dyed with spirit dyes. #bookbinding #fineart #craft

There are a few things that didn't work out quite right at this scale, but I've learned what to do differently for next time. #bookbinding #fanbinding
