I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

This reached me with cosmic timing 🙏❤
I know it's a priviliged position but I've never regretted turning down illustration work. I absolutely have regretted taking on illustration work for the money alone or ignoring red client flags ... because I felt like I needed the money.

No matter how much skill you acquire, drawing reveals something indelible about yourself that maybe even you don't comprehend. You're confessing, not flexing. We're connecting with your vulnerability as much as your talent. Hiring a robot to spackle over those faults is a cosmic goof.

A bipartisan special parliamentary inquiry in Australia today said big tech is “pillaging culture, data and creativity” to train AI, and must license and pay for training data.
This is how all governments should respond to this technology.

I've been seeing the sentiment lately of artists committing to making weirder, more self-indulgent art and I love it

Make art that you think is fuckin sick as hell. Make the shit you never thought you could that you always wanted to see. Beat your insecurity to death and fight to become your own favorite artist.

Cleo. Aka: little prince, the noble one, the Fluff, Fuchur, baguette, wormy, der flauschigste flausch der jemals geflauscht hat. (The fluffiest fluff to ever fluff)
He's a shy one and hides under our blankets. He'll paw our hands to get pets, but then worms out of being petted.

Kuba. Aka: der dicke (fatty), early-early-retiree, purring-mashine, dreckpo (dirty-butt), Kubaschka, Garfield.
He's the perfect housecat, he's slow and wants to cuddle all the time. When someone is loud he comes to check on them. Also he steals my pillow at night and wakes us with his loud purring.

Felix. Aka: the Baby, Frechdachs (rascal), Piranha, Pupsi (farty), monsouir chat.
He's curious, loves to meet new people and needs a lot of attention. My workplace is his "cuddleplace" and if I don't hold him like a baby he'll rip apart my drawings 😅
