The liege taketh they'r grain, yet they quarrel over the maid'ns hemlines (laughing off mine own ass) #15thCenturyMeme #PeasantPosting
A medieval-style illustration of a white unicorn with a red snake skewered on its horn and wrapped around its neck. The background is a blend of four stylized plants native to California: calystegia macrostegia, clematis pauciflora, maurandella antirrhiniflora, and rubus ursinus. 

The ink was done traditionally with color added digitally.

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

The absolute gut punch of seeing mentors and heroes fall for the ai grift. Seeing their avatars flip to ugly generated art, their posts start to read like they were generated… lashing out at people who’ve clearly privately tried to walk them back to reality. We’re losing a lot of 50+ nerds to this

Came across this fantastic little sequence by Maurice Noble (of Looney Tunes background art fame), apparently done for a commercial or something like that. Gorgeous stuff.
A sequence in "Cartoon Modern" style. 

1.) A knight is swinging a flail next to his squire who is carrying assorted weapons like a golf caddie would carry clubs. 

2.) A knight is swinging the aforementioned flail again, only this time at a wingless dragon.

3.) A gauntleted hand sticking a dagger in the ground.

Comic. [Person and person with white hat facing two boxes stacked with $80 price tag and sale tag on each box.] PERSON 1: They want $80 for this? I could make one myself for $10 in parts, an hour of work, a trip to the hardware store, another $30 in parts, another few hours of work, two more trips to the store for $20 more in parts, another hour of work to redo the first hour of work because I messed up, and $80 to buy this when the one I made breaks.

This is my favorite skull art I've done myself. It's a speculative physiology sculpture of a living-dead coyote.
a speculative physiology sculpture, all in glossy white, of living-dead coyote. The sculpture is made of a coyote skull, connected seamlessly to large, unfurred ears, the whole thing sat atop a graceful neck, which seems remarkably long, as it is also unfurred. a speculative physiology sculpture, all in glossy white, of living-dead coyote.
