Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

I'm kinda sad that posting here has often just been an afterthought. Let's see if I can be a bit more active and involved in 2026. :)

I thought I was safe since this is hitting Shopify shops (I’m using BigCartel) but I found one of my products listed. Thankfully it didn’t have the image and says unavailable so can’t be bought via Amazon. But “Bree Shop” name, product title, and some (AI rewritten) details. Fuck Amazon and AI. 😡

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

I just found out that our stuff is being sold on Amazon - WITHOUT our consent or any ability to opt out bc Amazon is just scraping artist’s websites and putting our shit in their search results. Again, without our permission.

Update: I emailed the opt-out address listed on their website and got a reply. But, I never. Should. Have. Had. To. Opt. Out. I’m so tired of these tech companies & their entitlement. DoorDash putting small restaurants on their apps w/o permission, AI scraping our sites, & now this? It’s exhausting

Artists are a big part of what makes your social media experience worth it. Most of them post incredible work out there for free (in this economy ??)

Remember to support your favorite creators so that they can keep making things you love. Seek out their patreon, shops, share their work.

the only thing harder than drawing houses is drawing the back of houses

the perfect shape
#art ✧ #cat ✧ #painting
Oval painting of a pink cat that has blue socks. The cat is looking thick as hell and it is standing in the middle of the painting, on a bright yellow background. The fur has a couple white stripes and white tail tip too. There are also two small blue flowers on each side of the cat. The canvas has very big floral frames on a dark purple background. There are big pink flowers with stems going around.

I wasn’t really sure what to call this creature so I settled on “Fish-Cat”. 🥴🥴

I originally saw this sculpture while unpacking a box in a dream I had. I loved it so much I thought it'd be fun to bring them to "real" life! 😂😂

Available here:

A ceramic sculpture of a fish but it has four legs like a quadruped animal. They are painted in a way to mimic blue and white porcelain, and have a decorative handmade blue tassel and little bell attached to their chest. They appear as though they are singing the beautiful songs of their fish-cat people.
