Pen, watercolor, black & white charcoal pencil.

Another featured piece from the Spooky Pants book.

A man in a sweater stands with his hands on his hips looking out of a large window with the curtains open. Things aren’t looking good outside, reader. A massive winged demon is emerging from the clouds as dozens of little ghosts and bone demons rip through the sky. On the ground below we see townsfolk running through the grass. Our man in the window is in no mood for this. He lets us know, “Oh, I am in no mood for this.” His dog looks out the window as well, wagging its tail. 

Fantasia (1940) inspired drawing. I think I could’ve gone a little heavier with the chaos outside but we’ll try again with fresh drawings this October. I like how the clouds turned out. Trying to balance my sloppy lines with more detail can be tricky but I think we achieved a good result.

Funny how billionaires and mega corps really really really want datacenters to happen despite everyone saying "No" Because billionaires and corps are widely known to want what's good for us and not, you know, their own bottom line and nothing else Good, keep up the fight. Screw them fuck their AI.

“But the smart glasses reflect a larger philosophical position, one ubiquitous in Big Tech and fueled by the artificial intelligence gold rush: that the human is not enough, and that we need to be aided — and disciplined — by AI.”

Someone needs to do a full audit of the cars' telemetry contents and where it gets sent to. I'm all for manufacturers that aren't American but modern internal combustion and especially EVs are some of the worst privacy and digital surveillance offenders.
