In this period of time filled with AI stupidity, let's celebrate those we are not celebrating enough: Art supporters, Art commissioners THANK YOU! Thanks to YOU, many artists can do what they do the best and keep being productive but most importantly Artists can LIVE!

Even in these enshittified times, there is always someone on the internet with a post or video to explain how to do mysterious art things. Stretch watercolor paper?✔️ Apply varnish?✔️ Choose work for conventions? ✔️ Artists help artists, if you look.

I dont blame people so much for entirely wrongly thinking that new Disney film used AI. I blame AI companies for helping destroy the trust between artists and their audience.

Every year for Pride, I repost Hue. I made him to send love and comfort to those who feel Pride isn’t for them because they aren’t out. You matter, you are valid, and it’s ok if you aren’t ready yet. Coming out is not a requirement for being part of this community. Happy Pride 🌈

happy *quiet, chill* pride

The chill otter is laying down next to a phone with rainbow beams fanning out of it. They look at the phone and see it says June 1st, and after a brief contemplation, they snuggle up under a progress pride blanket, phone plugged in farther away. It reads “It’s ok if you are tired. Happy *quiet, chill* Pride.”

the thing about moral panics is they aren't about moral panics. it's about community control and rampant bigotry. censorship is a tool of fascists, those who purity police are fascists, and if your disgust agrees with their mission more than the right for fiction to gross you out, you are a fascist

the artistic process

PANEL 1: a pigeon sits, head thrown back as they yell "i need to drawwww"
PANEL 2: the pigeon sits up, drawing in a sketchbook, a box of crayons next to them. frowning, they say "ugh this sucks"
PANEL 3: the pigeon lays on their front, happily propping one wing on their face and kicking their legs. they're drawing a slice of bread and say "oh wait, i love art"
PANEL 4: the pigeon stands up, head thrown back as they kick a ball of paper. their art is either scribbled out or balled up, the box of crayons knocked over. they angrily say "i hate everything i've ever made!!!"

caught off guard

PANEL 1: two pigeons sit at a high table, drinking juice. text at the top says "i've gotten good at recognising my anxiety's lies and tuning it out." the pigeon on the right is talking happily. the one on the left has three blue thought bubbles coming from them that say "you're ugly" "you're boring" "they secretly hate you"
PANEL 2: a close-up of the pigeon on the left. text at the top says "sometimes, though, it says something that throws me off..." a blue anxiety thought bubble says "you're sitting weird". the pigeon looks confused, and thinks in a yellow thought bubble "what..."
PANEL 3: looking annoyed up at their brain, the pigeon argues with its anxiety - "what the heck does that mean?" "idk" "no, come on, how am i sitting weird?" "idk you just are"
PANEL 4: zoom back out to both pigeons. the one on the right looks confused. the left one has deflated - a blue anxiety thought bubble says "ha! now i have broken through your defences! you smell" the pigeon thinks "great thanks"

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Photo of a figure of a kai ken dog running with an oddly shaped turnip in his mouth. He's brown with a purple bandana tied by a blue orb. He's running on a circular base that is a turnip field with three sparrow feeding on it. Hayabusa II, a.k.a. Chu, from Okami.

If most artists used it then they wouldn't be scared to admit it. The only reason they're scared is because the artist community will call them out and ostracize them. That puts most on the side against genai, rightfully. Anyone who claims otherwise is just flat out lying to try to normalize it.
