Hey there, I'm a designer and illustrator. My wife said about my art: "you draw gnomes as they live in real life, their daily experience(...) Like, yeah that's how a goblin would collect pumpkins."
It's my favorite thing anyone has ever said about my art

Happy #KidLitArtPostcard to all who celebrate!
My name is Zac and I like making art about all kinds of things with a bend towards spooky and fantasy. I'm looking to work with folks but also looking to just make some new art friends! Critique partners! Mentors! People who want to talk about goblins!

The number of nominally progressive folks using generative AI is frankly embarrassing. Using a tool that is expressly built on stolen labor and which is an environmental travesty immediately undermines any kind of cogent argument being made.

You want a machine to make art for you? Why? You might as well ask a machine to eat for you, or fuck for you. Might as well walk into the ocean and let the machine live your life

A new horror I hadn’t even considered.
“…for an AI chatbot to generate an autopsy report, contract workers have to sift through thousands of gruesome crime scene images, a gig known as ‘data labeling.’”
The AI Industry Is Traumatizing Desperate Contractors in the Developing World for Pennies
AI is propped up by a global sweat shop operation, where exploited workers polish the software for wealthy corporations in the west.

Never forget that Norman Rockwell, debatably the most famous American artist to ever put brush to canvas, was not afraid to show the ugliness along with the good. Having his work/reputation sanitized and trimmed into marketable nostalgia is about American as it gets.

Tonight I’m dancing to Artlord and the Self Portraits and feeling 19 again (I will not feel 19 in the morning). One time I went to a diner with the members of @future-islands.bsky.social while I was dressed as Batman. What a time to be alive.
