Computer, please summarize everything PG Wodehouse ever wrote in ten seconds
rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Expensive materials will not only not make you a good artist, but if you haven't developed your confidence (or at least a "fuck it, yolo" attitude) you will be too scared of "wasting" your good materials to actually use them and you will never get better.
Get cheap trash supplies. TRUST ME!!!

last week i remembered that macOS lets you set your own icons and that *I* have the power to delegitimize the professionalism of the software that runs on my machine, so here's a thread of the 16 new icons i've made so far
i really forgot how fun it was to just sit down and make art for myself :')

It began its life in Europe but has since become one of Japan's most popular desserts. The story of baumkuchen’s arrival is one of creativity and industry flourishing even during the darkest of times.

Then as response to the NYC transition team I said it was great that NYC was transitioning and I was happy for him, someone pointed out, they already swapped names before, and I suggested NYC’s neopronouns were dhey/dem/dose.

in user interface design i was taught to use pencil and paper sketches (or use an interface prototyping software that doesn't LOOK LIKE A FINAL PRODUCT) because otherwise people will look at it and draw the wrong conclusions about what level to interact with the prototype
rough sketches are useful!

Reading letters from the Princess Liselotte of Palantine, the German sister-in-law of Louis XIV, and it's wild because she had this super informal writing style that almost sounds like modern texts
Like at one point she goes "wish to god my son didn't love holding chunks of bread like a peasant"

It's happened again... An e-commerce site called Tokyo Tiger has stolen my art and is selling t-shirts and putting ads on IG/X with my artwork.
Do not buy from them.
These are not licensed products. They are stolen.
