I'm Smeg, unprofessional illustrator. My primary background is in comics-style art, and I enjoy applying my skills to silly ideas for my own amusement. There is little at which I won't laugh, but I have no tolerance for genAI—LLM users have empty minds, while image generator users have empty souls.
When I moved to CLT around a quarter century ago, a coworker described it thusly: "you know how they call NYC 'the city that never sleeps?' Well Charlotte is the city that never wakes up."
The craziest thing about this is that Charlotte is literally the most boring, normal place you can imagine. Charlotte makes Indianapolis look like Victorian London at its most dynamic. Charlotte almost perfectly conveys the experience of Locked-In Syndrome. Charlotte is an amiable void in spacetime.

Okay, I can't let this one go. I live in Ireland, not the UK, but the use of this image by a supposedly socialist party is so stupid and offensive, I'm going to get stuck in.
Let me explain to you why any experienced illustrator/designer could have stopped you making so many miserable mistakes. 1/

All of the replies to this are along the lines of "why is he touching it?!" and all I can think is "how could anyone resist?" Maybe I should be a scientist

People blocking you, whether artisinally or via blocklist, are doing you the courtesy of signaling that you will not vibe well with each other and self-selecting out of the pool of people on Bluesky you will potentially have to deal with.
Blocking hatemongers is one thing but this trend of using mass block lists to avoid hearing from people who might or might not hold points of view you expect to disagree with is unhealthy imo and hurts the platform.
Bluesky was better off with folks like Margaret Mitchell and Giada Pistilli on it.

Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.
