A semi-retired traditional realistic illustrator who is not anti-social, but is selectively social. I am definitely anti-generative AI and anti-Trump.
All religions and all gods were and are created by people to assuage their fears of the unknown whether in the past, present or future.
Science can’t explain everything and some things will never be explained, but the supernatural is a phony substitute for not knowing.

Back on Blue Sky. Just trying to see if it will work better for me this time around.
It's been great seeing wonderful art on Bluesky & being able to make new "friends," but we spend too much time online & on social media, so later today I'll be leaving Bluesky & maybe LinkedIn. I'll remain on Facebook, at least for now, if you're interested. Take care.

If anyone follows me and distorts their religious beliefs in order to justify their bigotry, prejudices, and hate, please unfollow me. I personally don't know any fellow atheists who use their non-beliefs for any such anti-human and regressive feelings, thoughts, words and actions.

I've decided to stop illustrating & become a modern-day tech baker owning my own bakery! I have no talent, skills or ingenuity in that area, so I'll be doing what so many others are doing now. I'll go to every bakery nearby in the middle of the night & "scrape" all their ingredients and recipes!
