If I were using a customized computer and OS, I'd understand crashes a bit more. I'm using a Mac Studio. The hardware and software variables are pretty limited.
This should be the rock-solid version. And YET
If my work didn't pay for the software, I'd be looking much harder at alternatives.

I'm ready for these tech giants to see their valuations crash as the AI bubble pops.
I will delight in their panic as their stocks plummet thanks to their unrelenting force-feeding of garbage built on stolen work.
I'm not going to be the bigger person, I'm going to grab some popcorn and laugh.

Only downside of the NIN concert is that I didn’t get to thank Trent for making music that kept me alive.
Genuinely would not be still be here if not for his songs.
Art saves lives. Art is resistance.

Small kids ask WHY about everything. It's a shame people get trained out of that.
If more of us asked WHY with genuine curiosity, we'd probably be better off. Happier in diversity, harder to divide.
Ask why. Listen. Be a kid who just wants to know why.
Looking at you, other white people.

You help yourself when you learn about others.
I learn with rough sketching and notes.
By learning the some of the processes for twists and knots, something clicked for me. Suddenly all hairstyles are easier to draw.

I'm getting an internet-fueled crash course in Protective Hairstyles because I wanted to know the what/why of Bantu Knots.
For every person who's rocking it now, there's another who swore off it years ago. I wanted to know how long one leaves it up, and why. There are stories there.

I remake it in an hour in full vector.
I trace the lines with the pencil tool in Illustrator. Use the Shape Builder tool to solidify the checks.
Copy/Paste, use groups and gradients to rebuild the depth.

Additionally, that’s why my back yard has terribly long grass – the less I mow, the more birds I have.
It’ll all be native plants one day.
A bird sanctuary is also a human sanctuary.
