Hey, I’m Josh. I'm a tattooer transitioning into full-time #illustration. I love #fantasyart and would love to work with small or indie publishers on their next idea. I’m also open for commissions, big or small. 😁

I reluctantly made a new Facebook account to do local marketing w/ a business page. A week later, I make a post telling people how much I love Deezer and Spotify sucks ("AI" Military startup involvement, advertisements for hunting down farmers) and my account gets suspended. wtf? Anti-racism is bad?

Balancing everything in my life lately has been more than a challenge. It has been almost impossible. But we're managing -- business, kids, marriage, Haley's school, and my latest project...it's a lot. But it's worth it.

I dodged the Amazon Cloud outage (because I don't use it), but now I'm getting hit with the Cloudflare outage. Dammit.

I’ve quit art dozens of times…but I love art enough that I always come back at least one more time than I quit, because I can’t call myself an artist if I’m not making art. You are what you repeatedly do, so make a habit out of the things you love.

Flow beats motivation every time. For me, it really just boils down to getting started. Commit to 5 minutes on that project you've been procrastinating on, and it might surprise you when you look up a few hours later and the time has just slipped by. I love flow...

As a tattoo artist, I love when I get a transphobe in the chair to admit their transphobia, so I can smack 'em with, "Oh yeah, I don't get why anyone would want to make permanent aesthetic changes to their body to feel more comfortable in their own skin, kinda like you are right now."

So you can stream games from your PC wirelessly to your Steam Frame...but what about from a Steam Deck or a Steam Machine? I can only assume that it's going to be an ecosystem...

Finally getting over the pneumonia and getting back to my regular routines. But my son needs to go to the dentist this morning, so I won't be streaming.
Side note: if you prep for your mornings the night before...it makes your entire day SO much easier.

First day with snow. I'm surprised they let the kids go to school! 😂 But I got to walk around downtown with the littlest one today and she loved trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue.
My kids remind me that no matter how bad things are, there's still magic in the world.

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

I am disappointed in a few of my former heroes that fell into the AI Hype Trap. I believe generative "AI" is here to stay in some form or another. And I have no idea what the future of "AI" is, but I know that it reduces our ability to think critically and competes with us for resources. It sucks.
