probably the silliest and most fun illustration I've done in a while, thanks to @trueref.bsky.social. I'd forgotten how much I love figure drawing and it was so nice to enjoy drawing (for myself) again

Artists, it looks like Adobe might be doing very questionable things at the moment by auto-enrolling you into a more expensive AI-heavy "pro" plan (potentially even charging you for opting out after the fact, which I should hope is illegal).
Be vigilant

Happy Pride, fuck the police, prisons shouldn’t exist, borders are stupid, wars are even stupider, resisting colonial violence with violence is resistance. Queer people are the most revolutionary out of all peoples.

I feel like this one image alone solidifies why I’ll never understand AI: this little guy was made by a human, centuries ago, but but now their art still exists. They’ve personified their love of making a little guy for people to still experience, this was a part of them they made and lived on
I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage
