Nope. Didn’t see anything.

Comic book style illustration of a dude with a tall blue mohawk and facial piercings. Behind him is a red brick wall. He’s wearing a leather jacket with spiked silver studs and is holding a canned beverage. He sneers as he says, “if you saw somebody stealing food, no you didn’t.”

I’ve written another book. It’s about awful things like trauma and gentrification. It’s also about wonderful things like helping one another and fighting back however you can.

The next best thing to not spreading slop is refusing to engage with slop.

Illustration that says ‘no ai slop.’ AI in blue lettering and ‘slop’ brown and dripping, looking like poop, all behind a red circle with a line through it.

AI slop has no stories to tell. You do.

Comic book style drawing of Harry Dean Stanton in the Wim Wenders film, Paris Texas. He’s wearing a suit and tie with a red cap, clouds and desert behind him as he looks off into the distance. Text only: I drew this almost 2 years ago and wasn’t happy with it. When I looked at it, I couldn’t see past the janky lines. The lack of shading. The difficulty I had (and still have) with facial hair and eyebrows. And that ear. What the fuck is going on with that ear? I fixated on the places where I erased and tried again. And again. But now, I kind of love it. Those mistakes and difficulties show that I was learning. I can now see what’s beneath those janky lines: me, at peace, in the moment, making something and absorbing myself in Harry Dean’s incredible, emotive face. I see the story of me making something just for the joy of creating and the love of an unforgettable artist. What I see is human. So, yeah… you should make stuff even if you think it looks like shit. Because it’ll still be better than ai slop, which absolutely looks like shit and has no stories of its own to tell.

Summer’s almost gone.

#bookquote #writingcommunity
Sun setting as 3 girls pose for a photo, their faces obscured by shadow. Text in the center of photo is a book quote from a book titled ‘You Don’t See Any of This’ that reads: “August is that last flicker of fun and heat before everything fades and dies. The final moments of fun before the freeze. In the winter, everything changes.”

The Crown Bar
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Interior of bar, taps serving Guinness, Coors, and a few others. Pint glasses to the left. In the background, a couple of kegs of Belfast Black stout and lager can be seen. Interior of bar portraying corner of bar and intricate decor: stained glass windows, pattern on tile floor, carved wood along bar, etc. Pint of Guinness in front of a little stained glass window. Carved wooden lion figure and shield with stained glass windows and ornate ceiling in the background. Very fancy and old timey.

There are not two wolves inside you. There's a pack of bickering, feral dogs inside you that should've learned by now that cruelty is a weakness.

A few words and illustrations from a project finally nearing completion.

#writingcommunity #procreate #art #writing #wip
Black and white illustration of an apartment building with a full moon above and off to the right side. On the left, a parking lot with a few cars and trucks. In front of the building, a bus stop, abandoned shopping cart, and trash can overflowing and spilling on the the ground. The cops entered the dark apartment, and Jacob stood in the doorway, hands in the pockets of his bathrobe, thinking about everything they had told him. He’d had the police here several times because of his tenants, but couldn’t recall anything as extreme as this. He turned and scanned the building. The sky was still dark, but this place never really slept. Christmas lights and spray-on snow decorated a few of the windows. A little Santa here or a snowman there. He’d already noticed a couple of curtains being pulled back, curious eyes and noses poking through them. A faint glow had begun to show itself in the east. Soon it would erupt into a bright pink and yellow swirl. Jacob knew he had minutes instead of hours before they’d open their doors and trickle out into the courtyard. Bored and inquisitive, they’d want a better look. Folks here, Jacob knew, were like folks everywhere. They instinctively follow the smell of misery. Black and white illustration of an older man wearing a bucket hat, sweatpants, and a bathrobe. He’s looking at something off to his left. Black and white illustration of a city street in winter. A vehicle is driving on the road, a small Toyota pick up truck. Street lights and snow flurries in the black sky above.

“…everything becomes a myopic contest of who can best exploit peoples’ anxieties to command their attention and energy. If we don’t learn how to extract ourselves from this loop, none of the information we gain will manifest as tangible action—and the people in charge prefer it that way.“
You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism
Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them, Janus Rose writes.

And greed has got to go
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose.🎶

Black and white illustration of Woody Guthrie with his famous guitar that has the phrase, “this machine kills fascists” written on it. A cartoon speech bubble above him reads, “All you fascists bound to lose!”

Altered screenshot from Futurama. A sign reads: 0 minutes since fuck I drew on the wrong layer. It's comically mocked up to look bad, and transparency artifacts appear around transformed text. The character Fry has a Wacom stylus edited into his hand.
