I hate AI as much as the next artist, but I'd like to gently nudge in the direction of thinking about the psychology of shame and feelings of superiority and how they hurt movements. Because if I'd ever used AI, posts like this would probably push me away too youtu.be/y85nqc2zm7M

The liege taketh they'r grain, yet they quarrel over the maid'ns hemlines (laughing off mine own ass) #15thCenturyMeme #PeasantPosting

A medieval-style illustration of a white unicorn with a red snake skewered on its horn and wrapped around its neck. The background is a blend of four stylized plants native to California: calystegia macrostegia, clematis pauciflora, maurandella antirrhiniflora, and rubus ursinus.

The ink was done traditionally with color added digitally.

moew MEOW meeoww mreow (translation: I finally have Mouser prints)

Photo of art prints on a wood surface. The prints depict a warmly lit home office in the early 2000s. On the office desk is a teal and white early iMac G3. A black cat is half-crouched with the computer mouse in its mouth, staring at the viewer as though caught mid-hunt.

The scene on the prints is littered y2k objects. The wall has a poster of Rihanna and of Britney Spears' "Oops!... I Did It Again" album cover. Items on the office desk include a blank CD stack, a pink lava lamp, a VHS on top of a Blockbuster case, and an old landline phone.

I told you this place is always crowded, we should’ve called for a reservation 😩

A lit-up vintage vending machine at night behind a cinderblock building at the edge of a foggy pine forest. A raccoon is crawling into the vending machine slot, reaching for a baby oppossum that’s nestled itself between the snack rows and hisses at the rescue attempt. The oppossum parent watches from atop the vending machine, accompanied by a squirrel. On the ground, a fox hungrily watches rats gathered under the vending machine.

Animals (small)! Some have food, some are food! Some have swords for revenge! Some are delinquent on their taxes and are wanted by the IRS (cute!)

5 rabbits on a green background. One carries a battle axe. One is wearing an oversized knight helm. One has 3 daggers floating above its back. One sits with the handle of a flail in its mouth. And a very small bunny has the handle of a large sword in its mouth.

Drawings of a pigeon and crow on a pale yellow background, surrounded by items like dandelions, bottle caps, feathers, and French fries. In one drawing a blushing crow offers pigeon a gold watch while pigeon (also blushing) offers him a bottle cap in exchange. In another drawing crow tinkers with a Rubik’s cube in his claws. In one drawing pigeon sits on a nest he built from French fries. And in the last drawing the pair are nestled together with pigeon under crow’s wing, while crow covers him with dandelion blossoms.

Drawings of cats and sushi rolls. One cat is a calico in a sushi costume. Another is a gray tabby pawing at a roll. An orange tabby in a sushi costume paws at a different roll. Another cat lounges in its back. A bengal cat in a sushi costume is trotting.

A collection of bat-eared foxes. Two brown foxes are running, three are creeping, a light gray one is side eyeing with its tongue out, and a dark gray one is curled up and yawning.

when you quote Reaganomics you sound like this

Title text that reads “this is how stupid 'trickle-down economics' sounds btw”, followed by an image of the Giant Omelette from Neopets with the blobbly heads of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, and Jeff Bezos in the omelette’s surface.

`Text below reads “You approach the unfathomable wealth of the billionaire cabal…” (image of a wad of cash) “… and manage to take a slice!!!”

To be transparent, I originally switched careers to do art full time because it brought me joy and (at the time) made okay income. I have no invisible safety net, the past 5 years have been very low income, and I frequently wonder how much longer making art is sustainable.
