Hi #portfolioday!

I’m Dwam, multitask visual artist. I mostly do tattoos and photography, but also illustration, films, and linocut prints ✨
I love hands and horns, mythology and botanicals 🌿

It looks like a Renaissance painting A flash tattoo of a hand struck by lightning, on a witchy table with stars, candles, plants, and a matchbox with an eye A black and grey tattoo sleeve of a dandy wolf, wearing a suit, surrounded by art nouveau flowers photo of Armony barefoot on a beach, wearing a pair of overalls with handmade linocut prints

Est ce qu'on peut parler des programmeurs, qui se sont dit un jour que mettre "Effacer le disque" juste sous "Ejecter" était une super idée ?

Je suis en train de scripter cette interview pour un papier, c'est un véritable carnage. Erner tente à tout prix de la faire passer pour une "voix pro-palestine", pour une gauchiste, pour une personne complaisante avec l'antisémitisme, etc

📻 L’interview de Francesca Albanese sur France Culture ce matin montre à quel point certains médias peinent à comprendre que défendre le droit international n’est pas un “parti pris”, et combien les acquis des 80 dernières années vacillent. Courage à elle et à ceux qui défendent les droits humains.

this sort of learned helplessness is going to be extremely dangerous as it permeates adulthood - why bother to learn to drive if the car does it for you, why bother to learn medication interactions, why bother why bother why bother

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.
A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social): As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead." But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that" Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

Ireland did a trial run of a program that provides basic income for artists, and is now keeping it. (See link in post.) I'm an artist who desperately wants to be able to slow down enough to make art again, and something like this would benefit me, if only it was available in the USA, but at this rate, it's never going to happen. Pic is of a dog leaning its head on a brick wall, looking longingly at a grill fill of meat and veggies, which is on the other side of the wall. I made the image into a meme format with "me" pointing at the dog. Pointing at the meat & veggies is text that says "Basic income for artists programs (also universal healthcare / child care / elder care / college, gun control, ceo income caps, vacation days, unions, and all the other cool egalitarian shit americans don't get to benefit from.)" All the best things seem just out of reach, huh lil doggy?

Thank you everyone for enjoying the short, but sweet Monster Mashtober run this year. Life got in the way, and I had to return to current work and prepping for an upcoming return to part time work. I hope I can draw more monsters next year

Happy Halloween everyone!

One of the things I'm working on right now is a "human agent knowledge repository". Essentially b/c ai is in everything & as a system its easily infected by inaccurate data that can be copied warped repeated changed endlessly and fed back into the system as knowledge,

Greaaaat I waited 2 months for a doctors to deign answering me (I asked for lab results and for further tests he didn’t wanna investigate) and the day of our appointment he’s discharging me entirely from the clinic my family doctor referred me to.

Welp

The dead internet theory is feeling pretty smug right now
What's happening: Elon Musk confirmed that X will delete all heuristics from its recommendation system within six weeks. In other words, the familiar logic of likes, replies, and reposts that shaped Twitter for years is about to disappear. In its place, Grok, the platform's in-house Al model, will read and watch more than one hundred million posts and videos every day to decide what users see. At the same time, X is testing a new interface that keeps users inside the app even when they open external links.

One of my friend of older age said to me she told her partner :
“You’re gonna meet Dwam, she’s amazing, and actually she’s a THEY!’”

… isn’t this the most lovingly failed attempt at pronouns ? 😅
