My favourite cartoon cat from @lucyknisley.bsky.social is now in pin form! I thought these got lost in the mail but here they are! Hello Linney.

Scream! Woe! The many sounds of many cats, but especially that of sweet Linney. Linney may be screaming elsewhere now, but we can always remember her with these lovely enamel pins 🧡 topatoco.com/collections/lucy/products/lk-linney-pins 🐯 @lucyknisley.bsky.social

Does anyone have a standard doc they use when considering signing on to work with an org, that interrogates their policy on their use of GenAI? I’m putting one together, but curious about what other creative folks use. It seems wise to get it straight BEFORE proceeding to any contract negotiations.

Looks like they:
-don’t care about the harm to the planet and our drinkable water
-devalue human artists and creativity
-lined a billionaire’s pocket instead of hiring a local artist
-want everyone to become more lazy, stupid and misinformed

Here’s a quick speed-paint of my WOCKS character, to illustrate how I did the art for Searching For Wocks. I use watercolor, gouache and colored pencils. Using all these gave the art a lot of vibrancy and texture, which is perfect for a book about examining and admiring things closely.

A risograph printed card layered pink and mint colors. Four buildings spell out the word “LOVE” followed by “, your neighbor!”

This sketchbook comic made my kid laugh harder than anything else I've ever drawn, so I am currently considering it my finest work.

A comic.
“We used to have a smart speaker, but we replaced it with our kid’s Furby.”
(drawing of a furby)

Speech bubble: “Hey Furby, play music by “They Might Be Giants.”
Furby: Lee koo
The furby is wiggling while it replies.

“It ran out of batteries a while ago.”
Speech bubble: Ok Furby— What’s the temperature?.. Cold? Yeah.”
The furby is doing nothing.

“Honestly, it works about as well as the robot we used to have,”
(image of furby face close up)
“…AND it doesn’t spy on our conversations to sell our data— BONUS."

“I’m thinking of putting it in the window by the door.
(Image of the furby in a window of a front porch)
“(For security)”

“FURB HOME>SMART HOME”
The furby is drawn large with slogans across it’s visage:
“whimsical”
“retro”
“retains vague menace of smart tech but lacks actual menace to spy for govt. and corporations"

I’m all for this change. But it should have been an open call to the community, initiated months ago. Not 6 days prior. HCD is important to me. I take pains to plan in advance and ensure I have childcare, that I’m not on deadline, and that I can bring together local artists to draw in community.

I found a big sign at the thrift shop with some live/laugh/love stuff on it, so I painted over that with my to-do list. Feel free to make it yours, too.

A painted pink, black and white sign that reads:
To Do

Build community
Shop small and local
Speak up and speak out
Practice empathy
Protect the vulnerable
Give to good causes
Care for the earth
Be brave and loving
Investigate
Read and listen
Abide no fascism

This action is taking direct aim at Target, for caving to this administration's biased attacks on DEl; Home Depot, for allowing and colluding with ICE to kidnap our neighbors on their properties; and Amazon, for funding this administration to secure their own corporate tax cuts.

My kid has this bear that I refer to as “topless bear,” which infuriates my kid because they insist that “it’s wearing a shirt!” So I put it to you: what’s up with this bear?

A stuffed bear with a distinctive area of its torso that is lighter and shorter-furred than the rest of it.

Option 1: the bear has been shaved or removed its fur shirt, leaving its torso bare. (Get it?)
(The stuffed bear has had nipples and belly button drawn onto it, digitally)

Option 3: the stuffie is actually a human being in a bear costume that is missing the top part.

(A human figure has been drawn over the bear body to indicate where a human figure might inhabit it as a costume)
