applying for jobs again

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question).

an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question:

"there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask.

it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same.

it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.”

there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price

for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

Really fun to see one of my favorite Van Gogh paintings—Flower Beds in Holland, c. 1883—in last episode of The Residence, with Uzo Aduba solving murder mystery in front of it. In "Van Gogh and the End of Nature" I talk extensively about that picture & what it says about Van Gogh's approach to nature

Will scan them in once dry, but here they are fresh out of the water. First time processing & printing negatives by myself so they’re quite rough #photography #darkroom #photoprinting #analogue #analoguephotography #blackandwhitephotography #doubleexposure

Pretty much done, unvarnished (still want to make some final tweaks)

WIP: Emperor moth on a budding rose branch Acrylic ink on clay board I'm working on this project slowly in between other projects. These tiny marks give me serious hand cramps, especially since I'm already dealing with joint issues. #sciart #traditionalart #painting #disabledartist #illustration

This is a wip work in progress illustration depicting an emperor moth 🦋 on a budding rose branch ⚘️ 🌱 The fuzzy moth is depicted in fine detailed white scratch marks on a black acrylics ink background. The rose branch is still an outline, but rose buds leaves and thorns are faintly visible. The style of the painting is monochrome realism science scratchboard art. The art is done on smooth clay board instead of canvas or paper. Disability disabled awareness crafts

Experimented with making prints this morning 🌸🪡 Didn’t have the right ink or materials, so wasn’t at all convinced it would work. Was still determined to try anyway tho! 😂 (got some cool results after fussing a bit aha) #intaglio #engraving #ink #inkart #print #printmaking #illustration #artist

I've been working with dream inspired imagery again - dream stuff, hinting at unseen life and quiet wonder. Blue Grove, oil on linen, 36 x 48 inches www.1stdibs.com/art/painting... #contemporarylandscapepainting #painting #dreaminspiredart #imaginarylandscape #dreamart #dreams #surrealism

Katherine Kean's Blue Grove uses dream inspired imagery that invites viewers into a quiet, contemplative forest scene where the cool blue tones of the trees create a striking contrast against a softly glowing, warm background. At the center, a prominent tree stands tall with thick, textured bark in shades of blue, its bare branches twisting upward and outward in an expressive, almost sculptural way. Surrounding this focal point are slender trees sharing the same cool hue, their leafless forms contributing to a layered depth that feels both receptive and mysterious.
The background’s warm amber light provides a subtle radiance, suggesting the fleeting moments of dawn or dusk. This gentle illumination balances the composition, heightening the contrast between the coolness of the trees and the tranquility of the scene. In the foreground, a lush green field spreads out, sprinkled with delicate, pale round elements - small flowers or softly glowing orbs - that bring a tender, magical touch to the environment, hinting at unseen life and quiet wonder.

Measured at 36 by 48 inches and rendered in oil on linen, this piece captures an atmosphere where natural stillness blends with a dreamlike sense of calm and curiosity. The deliberate interplay of color and form encourages a paused moment of reflection, inviting the viewer to explore the subtle tension between reality and the ethereal within this serene grove. The painting’s gallery wrapped edges are hand painted, and wired with finger friendly wire, ready for hanging.

Love it when features of the drawing breach the borders, beyond lush. Absolutely stunning 🖤

Which one should I illustrate next? 🎨 This is from my series Kintsugi, inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. As a med student, have been exploring what it means to be a healer and do my best for future patients. #sciart #medsky #medicalart

Bluesky needs more artists, and we need to work hard to keep the ones we have. Don’t forget to like, love, comment, and share with unbridled enthusiasm. This is purely selfish because I just want to see more art.

Hi, my name’s Lillith May and I want to spend my life making art. Follow along if you like oil paintings in progress, sketches, and women who write poetry when they ought to be sleeping 🌙 #art #painting #poetry

The artist taking a picture in her studio, her reflection in the mirror and a few green plants by the window. A black and white oil painting, a self portrait, rests on the easel. The palette has an array of colours around the edge, a mix of black white and grey at the centre, and features a handful of brushes resting on the neck of a palette knife.

Oil painting on canvas, in progress. 3 figures stand arranged like a classic family portrait, a man with a cane standing tall at the centre, a stern expression. A young woman sitting on a stool to his right, her hands crossed in lap and dressed in blue. A girl, or another young woman, kneels in the floor to the left. She is wearing a green cape over a white dress, and smiles slightly.

A light and loose pencil sketch of a young woman in a long dress. She sits and looks down at the sketch pad she holds, the hint of a pen between her fingers. She is adorned with jewellery and accessories, with a smile and curious expression. Labelled ‘Lucía 19.04.25’ and signed ‘Lillith’
