Take away my paper and put me in a dive bar in the middle of nowhere, I'll draw on a cocktail napkin with a ball point pen.
Take that away, I'l scratch a drawing on a cave wall with charcoal.
Because I have spent decades practicing the fundamentals.
AI plagiarists... what do you got?

"Generative AI is a tool, just like Photoshop. Traditional artists criticized digital painting when it came out, right?"
Take away my computer, I'll paint on canvas.
Take away my canvas, I'll draw with ink on board.
Take away my inks, I'll draw with pencil on notebook paper.

AI is a joke. AI is a bubble. It is nothing but hype. This shit does. Not. Work.

I just realized how badly I need a West Wing spin-off (written by Aaron Sorkin, obviously) starring @dulehill.bsky.social as Charlie Young, who is now a senior partner in a law firm. Maybe he's a lobbyist, so it's titled The Lobby. Make it happen.

I'm never buying another Xbox, I never subscribed to Game Pass, and I want nothing to do with the brand. Phil Spencer's internal memo just before laying off 9,000 people was disgusting. #cancelgamepass #boycottxbox

I watched The Last of Us season 2, and am playing TLOU 2 game. Hot take: Joel got exactly what he deserved and the more I play through Ellie's story the more I despise her, killing hundreds of people to avenge one man. #tlou2

I just found out that Batman Begins is as far in the past from today as the Adam West Batman show is from the Tim Burton 1989 Batman film.

They don’t believe in any gods and can’t read the Bible. How can they possibly do the morally correct thing?

Character models for The Physics of Santa, a humorous (to me, anyway) infographic animation I'm making, which involves the statistic that there are an average of 3.5 children per family.

Working on her quickdraw and "fan the hammer" animation. I've got the basic movements down but need to add secondary motion and revolver animation.

My first fully rigged character from scratch! She has a walk and idle cycle for now. I added the finger guns to learn more about Blender's Nonlinear Animation Editor.
Blender 4.3 and Substance Painter, Cycles render.

Canceled my Amazon Prime membership after over 15 years. Good timing, too; it was up for renewal in 4 days. #fuckjeffbezos

Every time we have our weekly meeting at the office and someone brings up their difficulty with the 3ds Max license server I have to really bite my tongue keep from saying "You know what program has never given me that problem? I'll give you a hint; IT RHYMES WITH BLENDER"

2/2 GameStop is done. They're cooked. They are sinking like the Titanic. It's just a matter of time before the whole company declares bankruptcy and is liquidated. I hope they enjoy my $5 because it won't save them. DO NOT preorder anything from them. #RIPgamestop

1/2 Pre-ordered Dynasty Warriors Origins from GameStop. I learned last week that my local GameStop was closing and that my preorder was transferred to another store 30 miles away. It's literally not worth my time or the gas to drive that far to purchase a game for which I put $5 down.
