"Our reality is being destroyed all around us"
this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Finished up my last market of the year (unless one comes up to surprise me). Thank you so much everyone who stopped by! Please bear with me as I adjust my website inventory.

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life.

Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.

Art does not get easier the better you get at it.

Making art is hard. Making art is fun. Making art frustrating. Making art is passion. Making art is a lot of blood sweat and tears.

And I love every moment of the process.

This right here. I love my art friends and art community, but I'm also trying to run a business as a freelancer/selling products and I need the reach! Every time we scatter to different platforms it's a little harder to exist as a working artist whose primary visibility is only online.
As much as folks might not want to believe it, artists who sell their work cannot survive exclusively on platforms that cater to primarily other artists. The Circulating The Same Five Dollars™️ model can't feed us or pay bills for long. We need places where we can be seen and discovered.

you gotta live. show yourself love, do something for yourself. feel the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, admire the trees. allow yourself to just be. & when you give to yourself in this way, you can give to others, wholeheartedly. we have a lot to do but we will make it. i gotta believe that

Altered an etsy pattern by @cirquellcurios.bsky.social to make my boys 🤍 Jasper ended up bigger, which is accurate 😂

Don't worry about what awful people think. Drop their asses. If you are forced to work with them, use the "Gray Rock Method" and go about your day.

Artistic people, don't give up. We need you now more than ever. Tell stories! Show us the world! Show us fantastical worlds! Sing that song, write that fanfic, tell the tale you've had in your head since you were eight. All of that is a form of resistance over tyranny! Human expression triumphs!

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Oh my god THIS. SO MUCH.
I don’t want to be a content creator. I don’t want to be thinking about when is the best time to post or what is the best type of content to post for maximum engagement. I just want to be an artist and I just want to make art.

I had hoped to have a lot more prepared but my trusty oven gave its last breath, and I'm still calibrating a replacement
