QRP with your skull art! 💀 Does this count? Animal skull painting I did for an art exchange in 2020. I think I based it on a badger skull? I don't really remember. Oil (water-based) on wood. 12" x 12"

wtf i hate you walmart website and the genAI bot scraper infestation that led to this stupid "press & hold" anti bot gatcha thing that doesn't register me as a real visitor

I started playing #D&D (for the 1st time) last year & finally made a portrait token for the games (my friends & I play together but use Roll20 for our maps) recently. More precisely, I ended up making 2: a quick & dirty sketch that lasted about a month before I replaced it with a vector one. #art

The initial sketch of my first Dungeons and Dragons character, Tani Oh, that I did in something like 15 minutes.

been seeing a number of answers like this on hinge and it's mind boggling. so they're saying they have no friends? 🤦‍♂️

Someone's already mentioned Kite, but if not that, maybe Ergo Proxy? It's been a while though, so I'm unsure about the exploding bit, but the main character's eyes fit the bill.

Went to the mall and found future road hazards who I've named moron and assbutt. Brush off your damn cars! #Toronto #winterdriving

There go my plans to go bouldering later to try and finish this route - the snow is coming down hard until tomorrow. Going to stay safe (and warm) indoors and not risk driving in blizzard conditions.

Q: Why do you hate pickup trucks so much John? A: Because of this. Because of dingbats like this who will take up 4 parking spots and think it's okay. And the really mind boggling thing too, is that there's another truck close by that - although jutting out - is parked properly.

Everything getting more expensive because AI is being force fed into everything despite no one really wanting it. www.honest-broker.com/p/the-force-...

Al isn't like that. People distrust it or even hate it—and more so with each passing month. So the purveyors must bundle it into current offerings, and force usage that way.
"That's the blight of the Al revolution. It looks like spam. It smells like spam.
It tastes like spam."
There's another reason why huge tech companies do this—but they don't like to talk about it. If they bundle Al into other products and services, they can hide the losses on their income statement.

A vector drawing of San from the movie Princess Mononoke that I did way back in 2015 (upon digging it up, it didn't even have my logo on it!). It's one of the first vector drawings that I ever did for myself (after design school) where I began to really experiment with -how- I wanted to vector draw.

Finished a run. Headphones seemingly cracked 3/4 of the way through. Considering that I’ve had this thing for over a decade or so now, I’m impressed that it’s only starting to fall apart now. (The glued up part of the other end happened because I sat on it lol) Anyway, it’s super glue magic time.

Looking through my shelves for a specific book for some inspiration and came across my old autobiographical college graduation comic. Looking through it, I can’t help but laugh at how “experimental” I was trying to be. …no one but me shall ever fully lay eyes on this thing lmao
