My first sketch of our baby boy.
As a model he wasn’t the most cooperative but he’s certainly the cutest.

In November we welcomed our son Tomas into the world. It was a little early and a lot scary. But thankfully mother and son are happy and healthy and we are so grateful for our beautiful new family.

I’ve curated another starter pack, this time to make it easier to find artists working in the illustration and comics fields! (If you qualify to be on this list but are not on it let me know, I will fill it up until it hits the 150 limit!)

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

We can't afford these people
Saw this video of Tristan Harris on Diary of a CEO sharing what AI-tech bros have shared regarding their motivations pursuing this technology. It’s horrifying.
These tech ghouls have us all on a suicide mission because of their EGOS. 🫠

I recently challenged my Vis-Dev students to a 4-hour Design Sprint, and did a little write up about it on my Substack! betsybauer.substack.com/p/four-hour-...
Four Hour Design Sprint
To start this post, let me explain the very complicated and exciting position I have worked my way into over the past 5-6 years.

it's so funny that alex jones was totally right about everything, the government is a bunch of drug-addled pedophiles and masked regime thugs are grabbing people off the streets, and now he has to pretend it's all a hoax

I've said this about writing and art -- the goal was not to replace writers and artists with AI, the result was either:
a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less
b) replace them unsuccessfully and pay them less to fix the shit the AI barfed out
a) *threaten* to replace them with AI, and use that as leverage to be able to pay them less

This is sometimes read as "look 'AI' isn't working". But the opposite is true.
_This_ is what "AI" is _for_. Push down labor power, push down wages, make employment more insecure.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually
