Sometimes I worry if other people are out there reuploading my work and stealing credit, but then I realize that I'm so slow at making stuff that nobody could logically make any scratch off of it. Hopefully.

i try to brighten my friends’ days by sharing good news whenever i see it, but this now being the third time i’ve seen very positive climate news lately, i’m gonna get a lil mean: climate doomerism is misinformation and spreading it, even just in jest, is antithetical to the values you espouse.

There was this sandwich operation near an old place of work that made *killer* sandos; Chief among them being Fennel Roasted Pork w/ Caramelized Onion Aioli and Pickled Apples. The shop shuttered sometime in 2020 :')

CW: Eating Disorder Fat shaming doesn't work 🙅🚫 somehow I hadn't posted this here yet! (1 of 2) #OldBearComics #TheBearMinimum

Text reads: I'd like to talk about fat shaming and how it doesn't work. I've been above average weight all my life and been shamed for it by peers, elders, family and strangers alike.
Art depicts: wicked shadowy figures loom around holly, judging and chastising her as she stands looking embarrased and trying to cover her belly.

Text reads: You know what it got me? A cripplingly poor self-image and eating disorder... I'd bet money that many people who experience fat shaming end up the same way.
Art depicts: Holly bear bent over with her head in the toilet couching as if she had just vomited.

Text reads: Sure a small portion of people might turn their anger and spite into motivation to loose weight. More likely they will internalize that disgust and turn it on themselves.
Art depicts: Holly lifting weights in front of a mirror, her reflection is a shadowy wicked version of herself who sneers and says 'Work harder Fatass' at which she gets angry and yells at it to 'Shut the fuck up!'

Text reads: What does it do for anyone, but give an outlet to your personal disgust, at having to see someone -you- don't find aesthetically pleasing? Mocking fat people for existing does nothing but hurt them and make you look cruel.
Art depicts: Holly bear glowering and making a gesture of frustration

Been putting off drawing these guys for too long #art #pokemon #wiwa #gen10

A digital sketch of the Pokemon Wind and Waves starter pokemon, featuring Browt, Pombon, and Gecqua, arranged respectively from left to right.

Browt is a serious-looking little bird whose beak looks like a sprouting seed, with the leaves serving as big expressive eyebrows.

Pombon is an eager looking pomeranian puppy with a big gormless expression. The fur on its face flares like a wild mane, while a swoop on top of its head looks like a coiling wisp of fire.

Gecqua is a clever-looking gecko, posed coyly looking over its "shoulder". Its big purple eyes are accented by water-droplet-esque "eyelashes".

“Culture of impunity” is right. The demand is to never hold public figures accountable for wrongdoing, not even verbally when they’re already beyond the reach of human accountability and won’t hear the criticisms and jokes. The legacy must be sanitized, or current elites might feel less impunity.

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

Realizing I haven't shared the updated designs! Let's rectify that :) #fakemon #pokemon #art #tarot

A digital illustration featuring two Fakemon/オリポケ

Featured to the left is the line's basic form:
Panaceasp (Panacea + Asp) ; JP: Hebii (蛇 - Snake + 医 - Medicine)
Poison Type

It is a small green snake curled around a walking cane, akin to the Rod of Asclepius. It features purple and white accents mimicking bruises, black eyes, and bandages respectively.

Featured to the right is its Evolution, which requires Trading the Pokemon while it has High Friendship:

Emissymm (Emissary + Symmetry) ; JP: Shishatai (使者 - Messenger; Envoy + 対称 - Symmetry; Second Person)
Poison/Flying Type

It is a two-headed winged serpent, with a singular head and wing on each end of its body. It is braided around a stave, which appears to be the unfurled version of Panaceasp's walking cane.

I went through a *lot* of palettes when determining the Shiny of this thing. These three were just the first passes :D #fakemon

Digital art of my Fakemon / オリポケ "Aidolon": A grumpy, armless sasquatch with ghostly feet, floating hands, and a skeletal motif. Three sketches depict test palettes for shiny colouration.
From Left to Right:

1. "Abominable", featuring icy blue bones and dull, frosty fur. Its chilling aura is white.

2. "Ghoulish", featuring an ectoplasm-green skeleton with purple-black fur. Its ghastly aura is a pale, sickly green.

3. "Overgrown", featuring yellowed and aged bones with mossy green fur. It's spooky aura is a mystical purple.

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

I saw a piece of my work traced over yesterday. Got reasonably firm with the person who did it, and even that tepid response has gotten negative reaction. Being an artist on the internet means facing the constant reminder that people *really* don't like when you defend your own work.
