Hi! I’m Danielle. I’m a UX designer and like to paint in my free time. I love horror movies, video games (especially Death Stranding and Control), and trying to challenge myself creatively. I work mostly in a painterly style and sometimes in digital charcoals.

a black ballerina with vitiligo wearing a gingerbread dress covered in frosting decorations. The background is pink with snow falling and a banner at the bottom reads Gingerbread A bride in a white dress stands looking out a stone arch at a red moon while holding a bloodied knife. Her hands and hair are red with blood. The bottom of dress descends into a puddle of blood dripping off the steps. "A black woman in a dress made of crystal chains to resemble a spiderweb dangles a jewel spider from a gold chain. Text reads ""Spider""" Chef frogs stir a pot of gumbo over a fire with spices, herbs and beads on the shelf behind them

More THE PITT thoughts

-Aren’t HCPs supposed to be inoculated against TB? I worked briefly in a building WITH a lab & had to get vaccinated for it

-Langdon and Donnie together are such a good team, they crack me up

-Whitaker trying to save Ogilvie from the poop cannon (good to see him humbled)

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.

Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?

Currently reading ”Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT, and the Race That Will Change the World” by Parmy Olson and this phrase has stuck with me: “the burden of creativity”

Burden of creativity.

Art, music, writing, creative endeavors challenge us but… a burden?
"The future of Al felt like you could almost touch it," the senior game designer remembers. "The other question we often philosophized about was, Why should humans be the only ones that create things?' Why can't we have the burden of creativity handled by a piece of AI?" They imagined AI eventually writing music and poetry and even designing games.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working"

So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images
Linkedin Post from a Pinterest designer reading: "Yesterday I was impacted by the Pinterest layoffs. I was Pinterest's only icon designer and product illustrator. In his email to the company, the CEO said "we’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working". I WAS working on AI projects including the Pinterest Assistant that soft-launched in October. If you haven't heard about that feature launch, you can find it on Pinterest's own newsroom or with a Google search. I was vocal internally about how our users don't want AI slop or features on the platform, how we as employees are feeling uncomfortable and discouraged about AI, and what I wanted from leadership. Last year, I told my manager I was worried about AI-based layoffs. I was told not to worry. At an onsite, we were told that "in the future", we would all be "managers of AIs". That I would be expected to manage some sort of AI employees, rather than craft and design my own work. Human-made art and design matter. I am never going to stop creating, even if the "home of inspiration" decides that creators are secondary to profits. If you want to support me, you can follow me on threads or instagram @bonniekatewolf where I post my hand-knit sweaters and oil paintings. If you want to hire a human illustrator, designer, or iconographer, my email and DMs are open for freelance, contract, or FTE roles."

Booksky (is that a thing?): what’s the best magnifying sort of thing for reading physical books with tiny ass fonts? I love physical books but I miss my kindles ability to make fonts larger. I have a craft magnifying thing with a light but it’s awkward to use. I read in bed/on the sofa.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

No studio will ever generate 4 options and be like one of these is perfect. They will generate hundreds/thousands driving up executive indecision and take just as long. The actual problem is not how long artist take, its leadership not knowing exactly what they want. AI will not solve that.

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

I’m watching the Our Oceans series and am learning so much. Did you know male sea breams attract females by basically having the nicest yard. And if debris (like a starfish) lands in their yard they’ll throw it in their competitions yard and ping pong it back and forth

Started a new game of Stardew Valley and it’s got like 20 mods (the earthy recolor to desaturate the game is a must for me) and I had forgotten about the Jorts and Jean mod

Something about the twist of birds. It's called a murmuration
