no one understands like guillermo del toro that being a monster fucker is an incomplete political ethos. you must also be a monster LOVER. you must be in community with monsters. not just an ally but a CO-CONSPIRATOR. you must fight for monstrous wellbeing in this hateful world!!!

the way that abstract messaging can actually influence, more than ~markets~, human movement and material/energy flows in the physical world is something that’s really compelling to me as an artist. idk
marketing is insane because a company can claim authority over Next Year’s Trends in april and then every magazine and news outlet and retailers and influencers will follow those trends like the world of god, codifying them into reality and astroturfing that inspiration into people’s actual lives

If 10% of my business was based on defrauding and scamming people, and was called a "pillar of the global fraud economy", I would have some serious moral qualms about my business. Not our friends at Meta though.

Meta is earning a fortune on a deluge of fraudulent ads, documents show
Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, and it internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day, company documents show.

Here’s @realgdt.bsky.social in NYC expanding on his rallying cry of ‘fuck AI!’, talking about how art and even love come from shared pain and movies can save your life. This shit made me and others in the audience cry as much as his version of Frankenstein…

So life has gotten incomprehensibly expensive and I think I need to open commissions.
See details in thread
$35 for a “silly little sketch” (first image)
$55 for a clean monotone sketch (second image)
$90 for lines with flat color+minimal shading (last images)
+75% per additional character

Blanche Georgiana Vulliamy (1869 – 1923) was an English Belgian ceramic artist, painter, and writer.
She worked mainly as a designer of art pottery and is best known for her work portraying bats, goblins, and other nice lil guys, like this Torquay Pottery goblin vase, c. 1905.

Asking kids to show their parents’ tax returns before I give out any candy. There’s a sliding-scale depending on household income. Thankfully we’re ensuring no one who can afford a tootsie roll gets a free one. The downside is that it takes 45 minutes per kid to determine whether they’re eligible.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

adobe MAX is bludgeoning me to death and im having the most sickening realization about the direction the Creative Industry is going. with the power of automation, we can load even more responsibility onto one creative guy and fire everyone else ✌️
