Hopeless dilettante
Picker-up of unconsidered trifles
The real version may be some kind of proto-mammal, but the plastic version is definitely a dinosaur

Some of us grew up with entirely inaccurate representations in the form of luridly coloured injection-moulded plastic Dinosaurs with made in Hong Kong written on their bellies

It's always so difficult to get right, because so many times I try to adjust things and end up overworking it, and it just ends up looking kind of fussy and heavy.

I'm glad that it actually arrived, it's always stressful putting art in the mail

Thanks, I had three attempts at an earlier version that I just could not get to work, and then I did this one. Here is the earlier attempt

This is literally the reason I stopped taking things like cocaine, there's no outside of the system we're in and the many forms of violence with which we are complicit, but taking Coke was just directly funding torture, murder, sex trafficking etc, so I could be annoyingly hyper at a party for 10min

My birthday present to my sister finally arrived in NY and so did some kind of summery weather in Copenhagen

Thanks!

To be honest that does sound a little bit like burnout but also (at least in my own experience) the healthy way through that is what you're doing, which is finding ways to make art that are more fun and less stressful

Or more Marxistly, AI critique reifies a political-economic movement as a technological force. This mystification helps naturalize the disruption of existing labor arrangements while directing critique away from the movement seeking to remake social relations through AI.

I was just thinking about all the books on my parents shelves that I idly read as a child

Thanks, I am feeling a bit (but not 100%) recovered now
