Some of my favorite hands I've drawn for the Halloween season over the years. I wish I had the time to do some for this year!

Illustration of a orange toned hand holding up an apple cut in half with parts of apples and apple tree leaves behind it

Illustration of a pink toned hand holding a burning match as moths crawl around the hand trying to get to the light of the match

Illustration of a light pink toned hand holding up a stylized garter snake with plants laying behind and within the hand

Illustration of a light peach toned hand holding up a burning pumpkin reminiscent of the pumpkin head from the legend of Sleepy Hallow, a curled branch weaves around the hand

not to be repetitive but if all art was made the way i want it it would honestly be really boring. art that defies my expectation or even just pisses me off for whatever reason is great and necessary

Did you know you only need a small brain to make silly little drawings?

4 panel comic: Panel 1: pink blob guy on a table, pencil in their hands. Grey circle on a piece of paper and a glass of water on the table. They say “look here” Panel 2: Proudly, they hold up the drawing of a grey blobby character on two stick legs up in the air. The pink blob says “I drew this!” Panel 3: Satisfied they sit back down on the table. They now go “it’s not much, but..” The grey drawing looks a bit peeved because the drawer is calling it “not much” Panel 4: But it’s okay, because now the pink blob is very pleased finally. He says “it came from my brain!” Holding the pencil up. The grey drawing blob is happy again, too. End well, all well!

growing up in ohio wasn't all bad. for example, sometimes you have a funny story about growing up in ohio that you can tell your friends who didn't grow up in ohio, and they look horrified when you finish, instead of laughing, causing you to immediately realize something about your past

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.

AI cannot and will not ever be able to employ contextual judgment the way a person can. it does not have any social adeptness. it does comparative pattern matching, it doesn’t actually KNOW anything in the way a human does

We are at the break glass moment on the Democratic Party and its treatment of transgender people, and it is my opinion that if we don’t act now and loudly demand to be heard, we will suffer the consequences of their shift.

Holy shit. Marcy Kaptur becomes the latest Dem to release an anti-trans ad, and its worse than all the rest combined. "I voted WITH Republicans to keep transgender ideology out of schools, and let me be clear, boys should NOT play in girls sports." This is getting out of control.

Iowa Dem. Gov. candidate Rob Sand was confronted at a rally yesterday over anti-trans positions. A constituent asked if he would walk them back. He refused to, and in fact said he supported sports bans. Another constituent shouted "COWARD!" in the background. Subscribe to support our journalism.

this is so fucking crazy. huge huge huge scoop www.404media.co/inside-proje...

In a dashboard available to the workers, human reviewers are able to select which “task” they want to take on. Once they click that, they are presented with the real ChatGPT user’s prompt. 404 Media has seen multiple real prompts but is not quoting any of them for source protection reasons. Some of the prompts indicate the ChatGPT user does not expect that a human may end up reading their conversation, because they ask ChatGPT to keep the content to themselves.
