i really need 2026 to be the year where everyone finds work because i would like everyone to be able to afford rent and groceries but also it's become terminally exhausting to watch dead air and time be filled with discourse telephone

When you uncheck Smart Features, all email sorting ends. Google changing Gmail’s BASIC sort functions just to force everyone to let Google train off your emails is insane levels of corporate self harm, rivaled only by Microslop

We love trash, but not this type!
At no point will we ever use gen AI in the making of our games. Get in the bin with that rubbish!

Focus more on horror illustration, create story, maybe a comic or an illustrated novel :)
What are your art ambitions for 2026? Make sure to post them here so we can publicly shame you if you achieve none of them!!

Art vs artist
Not gonna lie, this year was hard, I lost my mother in law and one of my dogs, I also expected to get more illustration work.
I did get to go to some cool places, paint en plein air, and made more art than I thought I was going to do this year.
I hope 2026 treats me a bit better.

I went on a short trip with my wife and a friend to El Quisco a couple of weeks ago, I haven't been to the sea in a while, it was lots of fun.
I had some time to do this plein air sketch, there was so much to look at! So I had to simplify it to get a simple statement. It took me around 45 minutes.
