Big mood here! CSP being a one-time purchase with optional paid upgrades was a big factor in choosing it, and I've never regretted that. I *do* wish their app/tablet version wasn't subscription, but I understand they probably do a lot of work keeping up with OS changes.

Important life advice that is hard to internalize but good for your soul: if someone has a problem with you but won’t be an adult and tell you to your face, their opinion does not matter.

For the record, when I need facial plane reference, I use William Nguyen's models on ArtStation. They have adjustable primary and secondary lighting, and can be rotated to be viewed from every angle.

Releasing soon in time for Valentine’s Day…
The “Circulatory System” mini collection, consisting of a silk satin cravat with one heart at the center, and a silk twill twilly with two hearts at opposing ends.
I illustrated these scarves for my fellow goths, romantics, and fans of Frankenstein…

Made my spouse a custom Dreadnoughts patch for his battle jacket for Xmas! He got it sewn on the other day and it looks damn good if I say so myself. I cleaned up the Polka's Not Dead album art digitally to get it binarized cleanly, then fed that to my vinyl cutter to make a stencil for paint.

Artist! Quote with your most detailed art!
I'm always a sucker for detail, but I definitely poured a ton into this composition, trying to capture the overwhelming decadence of the feywild.

I know. I KNOW. That getting rejected from projects is part and parcel of the artistic experience. But sometimes I get rejected from a project I really, really wanted to do (and was qualified for!), and have to take a couple of hours to sulk about it before I can go on.

Big facts. I've gone this long without joining TikTok, and I don't have nearly the kind of aversion to that that I do to gAI.
“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Forget calling in sick. As an artist, we should be allowed to call in creative.
Sorry boss. Can't come in today. The muse has called me and I must listen.

You know what? I still find it as deeply morally abhorrent to Knowingly share AI writing and/or imagery as I do the actual generation itself
This is not something that should be treated as common or shrugged off, just because it's a plague we've been beset by for a couple of years now

High Tide 🌊 ✨ Hey guys I just finished this new painting in my ongoing series of paintings called ‘A Starry Place’ where I explore spaces that are meaningful and nostalgic to me. This piece is inspired by overcoming insurmountable challenges.
