Hello, bsky!
I'm Jeffrey, a queer and genderqueer multidisciplinary artist operating out of Kansas City, MO, USA.

I'm a jeweler, a novelist, an illustrator, a photographer, an occult blogger, and a public ritualist.

You can find my links in my profile (above) and in the thread below.

A digital illustration, the current draft of the Prince's Fighters novel cover. Derrek, Khanaarre, and Elana stand against a backdrop of a map of the world. Derrek, on the left, is the tallest of the three: a soft faced, pale human man, with golden brown hair and green eyes, dressed in bronze poofy pants, a white poet shirt, and a blue doublet. Khanaarre, on the right and almost as tall, is an elf woman with red-brown skin, dark hair and eyes, dressed in tight fitting green coat and trews. Standing between them, much shorter than either, is Elana, a bronze-skinned human woman with short dark hair, dressed in a light blue chiton and bright red chlamys, holding a rapier at her side. Behind them stand Rennin, a bronze-skinned human man with a shaved head, dressed in gold-colored hoplite’s harmor and a red chlamys cloak, and Orland, a tall pale red-headed man in a steel bell cuirass with jointed pauldrons. They are flanked by neoClassical columns and Art Nouveau lotuses, with the title The Prince's Fighters above and my byline below, all in black and white.

Office's grammar check has always been a little stupid, but its insistence that all writing should be at a 6th grade reading level or lower annoys me more every day

As artists it can feel like there's a pressure to make art faster, more generic, and marketable for a wide audience. Generating art is that idea to an extreme. I think we need to embrace niche art that has thought and care put into it. Not just for clients, but making something only for yourself.

Anyway time to post this again.

AI is a tool of fascism.
Batman breaking a rifle in half from a 1986 comic. The rifle has a label "AI (even if you're making fun of it)" and Batman is saying "This is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it. We will not use it."

A sexy lil' deer skull-headed humanoid sits in a chair with legs crossed and perched on their knee, wearing only a beautiful red afghan scarf (and nothing else) around their neck and head. They are giving off major babushka vibes... Aside from the nudity.
