"You make me feel like an 80s kid getting their first gameboy color and hearing the power-on ping for the first time." Found this scrawled in a notebook of mine. Happy Valentines!

I’m going through art pieces I’ve made over the past year and selecting pages for inclusion in a new art book. I want this second book to be grouped into themes and I’m endeavoring to include some writing on topics of mental health.

January 1st has come and gone, but he’s already up to the same ‘ol. Looking forward to another great year of drawing whenever, wherever, and whatever! ✨ At least I hope so.

Filling in the pages of the last #ArtJournal of 2025. If you’re new to following my work - filling sketchbooks to the brim with chaotic and sometimes clever stuff. And there’s nothing I like more than the sight of a filled book! If you’ve got journals of your own please share.

if the japanese artists come over here that’s a genuine tipping point
potential EME alert 🚨- apparently the Japanese are signing up to bluesky in droves. If you check the newskies feed 99% of posts are now Japanese

I sincerely hope that Bluesky is taking note of these actions elsewhere and making sure not to bring anything like this to this platform.
For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Hope you listened to @pjvogt.bsky.social share his remarks about the internet during the Search Engine board meeting. I’m relistening… for a third time, because I can’t unhear “When the internet is good, nothing is better. When the internet is bad, nothing is worse.”

Been carrying a lovely travel-journal with me during this trip to the UK. Such a great way to pause when I need a rest.
