Yikes. Never used Frida Baby products or their postpartum stuff ‘cos I always thought it was wildly overpriced but HOLY shit this is fucking weird. 😖
If you use Frida baby products, take a long hard look at this advertising campaign. Disgusting.

Making "AI caricatures" is trending again, so I though I'd share the trick I used to make my profile pic.
I just followed these two simple steps:
1. I identified an artist whose style I wanted to replicate.
2. I *PAID THE ARTIST* to actually draw a portrait.
(1/X)

More Hourly Comics! Date night!✨ I had to do this on a different day and take notes because otherwise I would just be drawing me drawing the whole day and after 16 years of doing this, it seems like the best option 😮💨 #hourlycomicsday #hourlycomicday

AI folks pretending they’re being oppressed ‘cos they don’t want to learn how to draw is wildly entitled.
There’s loads of skills I’d love to learn but don’t have the time or I’m not able to do them. Does it suck? Sure. But it’s not “gatekeeping” and I have no right to those skills!
