I promise I will start adding alt text to all of my images. I've been pretty crappy about it.

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

This is really just a test to see if my social media scheduler will send alt text. We'll see! But I'll probably leave it up, anyway. So check out this cool tattoo design!

I’ve been getting overly excited about the idea of physical media lately. Our collections on display used to be a way that someone could see our influences and interests when they came into our spaces. Plus, buying is owning when you can actually hold it in your hands.

I got super-nerdy and put together a catalogue of ink swatches for every color I own so I can design tattoos using real color palettes. Freakin' genius. I know.

My wife got me this cool shirt by @meganroseruiz.bsky.social for my birthday. Cucumbers are from our garden. They happened to be sitting on the counter next to the shirt and I thought they were appropriate.

I try not to chat too much about my family on social media because that's THEIR privacy. But I can't really hide how proud I am of my boy child for EXCELLING at martial arts. 🥋🤯 And I could use good vibes for my girl child, who is having health issues and may need to go on homebound schooling. 😩

Ah, no worries. He signed a consent form before I did the tattoos that gives me permission to post on social media, and all of the strings attached to having tattoos posted on social. Tease away! 😂

I did something pretty cool over the weekend and got a bunch of flash posted on my website so you can make deposits on any of the art you might like to wear. I'm very proud of this development. 😂 Check it out at joshj.blog/flash/

I...am excited about stuff that I'm doing on my website right now. Lots of cleanup of the little rarely-visited corners, but getting my booking calendar moved to something Wordpress native is exciting AF to me. Especially since it integrates w/my CRM. I am a nerdy tattooer. 😅

Just watched a video that challenged me to stop thinking of my sketchbooks as a collection of random sketches...and instead think of it as a BOOK of sketches -- with design in mind. Challenge accepted.

Is it strange that I'd rather browse a thesaurus hunting for the perfect word than use "AI" to write for me? I feel like one of these choices expands my knowledge, while the other robs me of the chance to grow.

Keep hope! Things are looking hopeful-ish for midterms in the States, I think. But I thought the same thing during the last election and I was horribly surprised. The GOOD thing about dipshit being such a dipshit is that he can't hide it forever and the horrors seem to be catching up to him.

On AI -- if your poster/cover is AI, I will assume the product is. And if you didn't care enough to actually create it, I don't care enough to use/read/watch/consume it.
