Considering how my knees sound lately, I will be going as an old door for Halloween.

My proof for my first little compilation book is here :) I'm so happy with it. I'll have copies available soon, and if you're a Seattle local I'll have them at my table at Geek Girl Con on Oct. 24-25!

The biggest lie ever pervaded by mainstream entertainment was that our art, our skill, our craft, was not truly impressive unless they severely underpaid us for it and told us to be grateful for the opportunity.

your response to “I was raped” should not be “I was right”

4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A Purple Woman looks distraught, on the verge of breaking down. She says “that man raped me”
Orange Guy standing next to her is absent-mindedly checking his nails. He says “Wellll, I’ve always disliked him and his work.”

Panel 2:
Purple Woman begins to cry. Orange Guy adopts an incredibly smug expression and says “Guess I must just be a good judge of character”

Panel 3:
Purple Woman dissolves into sobs. Orange Guy notices, puts his hand on her shoulder and says “Aw”

Panel 4:
Purple Woman crumples to the floor. Orange Guy, looking bemused, asks “Are you crying because you’re jealous of how smart I am?”

A thing it's important to understand about a lot of spurious accusations of "using AI" is that a great many people genuinely do not understand the distinction between "AI" and "computer graphics" more generally – [...] (1/3)

(2/3) [...] – and furthermore, a lot of those same people think "tell the computer what you want and it does all the work" *is how all computer graphics have always worked*. This belief was widespread even before LLMs became publicly available.

(3/3) Hell, it's literally the reason "Tron" didn't take home the Oscar for best visual effects in 1982 – the Academy administrators disqualified it from being nominated because they thought computer graphics was just ordering a computer to do it for you!

Even if you don't give a shit about the ethics, hazing novice users until they cry is no longer a *materially* effective means of gating access to information technology when they can just go ask the robot. Sure, they're not learning that way, but they weren't learning anything from you, either, so.

🌸The ladies and Mog of Final Fantasy VI 🌸 🖌️: acrylic gouache+gouache on 300gsm watercolour paper I think this might be my favourite piece yet 💚💛❤️ ⟡ #finalfantasy ⟡ #FF6 ⟡ #art

Acrylic Gouache+gouache painting of the main female cast of Final Fantasy VI along with Mog
they're all floating to a black background with details of flower petals, white dots and opal-colored sprayed dots.

On top is Terra, a pretty young lady with green wavy hair, wearing her red dress with flower patterns, pink pastel stockings with flower patterns, pastel purple cloak and red boots with golden decals. She is sitting comfortably, and Mog is next to her.

Celes is sitting on the right side, wearing her Amano inspired outfit with a purple tank-top, yellow west and trousers and white boots with decals on it. She has long blonde hair, and wearing a fancy hair ornament.

To her right and in-front of Terra is Relm, a child with blond curly hair and a big smile. She is wearing a big red beret with pattern, a yellow cloak connected to her necklace, a black tank-top, red puffy trousers with star pattern and red boots. She is holding a big painting brush with her left hand.

I feel like "my pet rats enjoy their handmade crochet chicken hats" is an insane statement but email and Piglet both started boggling and piglet got the hiccups when we put the chicken hats on them. The evidence speaks for itself.

It’s telling that as soon as indies birthed on the internet proved we did not need them, corpos rushed to infiltrate those spaces, shepherd everyone into walled gardens and play nice juuuust long enough to fill their honeypots before snapping the trap, recreating the toxic studio dependency

But that’s the funny part, they don’t actually have the real power to snuff out our abilities to own our work shunning their puritanical greed. The net outside those walled gardens still exists. All those webcomics that paved this street did not need webtoons or tapas or any of that shit

Finished a set of chapter headers & scene break commission for @shadowfaerieammy.bsky.social for an upcoming 2027 release! I had a lot of fun working on them and am definitely looking forward to the project!!

three black and white illustrations with DO NOT USE COMMISSION written over them in mostly transparent letters. The images are two larger chapter headers and a scene break along the bottom. The first chapter header is a robin sitting amongst oleander flowers. The second chapter header is a robin's skull amongst similar oleander flowers with a circle behind it. The scene break are two robin skulls at the far end with a branch of leaves going toward the center oleander flower.
