Lots of painting done this morning. All of these are 2.5 in square canvases. And yes, lots of them have googly eyes 👀

cats aren't my entire personality but it's close. ALL OF THE LINKS https://angry-gato-designs.square.site/links
The wizard tries to engage the little cat in a conversation about reagents. The little cat leaves the room.
My life is pretty rad right now. I have so many good friends, a bunch of art projects in the works, a cozy home, and my cat loves me 🥹
hey so! this truly feels like impending doom on a platform i have come to really care about because of the people there, please let Twitch know how you feel about this, i sure did. twitch.uservoice.com/forums/92338...

Twitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.
New intro post! I'm Lindsey, the artist and gremlin behind Angry Gato Designs. I make silly art about cats with boundaries and personalities. You can check out my art and wares here! www.angrygatodesigns.com
We can afford to house people. We can afford to feed people. We can afford to give people healthcare. We just need to put more people in office who will actually do it.
Welp, I fired my client. I can't believe I have to say this, but please never ever ever ever ever feed an artist's work into an gen-AI LLM. Ever. Don't. Do. It.
When you go "You can't DO that" with regards to art - writing, drawing, lettering, music, sculpting, whatever your art - you've lost. You're limiting yourself for no good reason. That "never" might work on a project, in a moment, for a reason, but you closed the door before you even considered it.🧵
Friendly suggestion to my fellow accounts with decent followings: it is a GREAT time to start a weekly art show with your account to boost indie artists/crafters. Everyone is struggling due to AI and Etsy becoming a toilet. We can't magically fix everything but we can help some individuals.
Once a quirky bastion of amateur vulva jewelry and pet portraits, Etsy is now deluged with mass-produced goods and AI knockoffs. Some customers don’t seem to mind.
i've been full time for ten years and i love it more than ever.
One of the nicest things about having been online for long time is being able to see artists I’ve followed for ages, still making art and having that love and spark for what they do.
You really have to learn to treat yourself like you treat your best friend. Give yourself the same amount of slack, love, and kindness. No jokes no funny replies. I think we all generally need to get better at it. 
Finished my inspections of ~1,450 enamel pins. My hands, shoulders, and back rejoice. Or, they will in a day or so.
Look at how small and cute this pin is AAAAHHHH
Just got these stickers in and I'm very happy with this 🐾 product photo 🐾
Chiitan loves all genders 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 Because I myself have no gender. Even now, transgender people are carrying deep anxiety— yet I believe they have the right to freely love the ones they desire, and to live together with their true soul.
I yearn for the consumer tech of 2017 - 2019. It feels like things from that era offered a great combination of innovation and practicality. The car I bought in 2018 was cheap, reliable, and came with Bluetooth PLUS a backup camera. My phone? Bought in January 2020 and I dread replacing it.
People who kill houseplants don't realize that they are saving space in the long run. I started with a tiny $2 aloe from Trader Joe's. It now occupies like six different pots. A teeny jade I got as a trade? Now five jades of various sizes. An 8" tall Norfolk Island Pine seedling? It's a tree.
The frogs are now up in the shop! These little felted friends ship to the US, Canada and the UK and if you get one right now, it will go out this afternoon since I'm heading over to the post office later. Shares appreciated! Thank you 🐸
New frogs dropping (hopping?) in less than an hour, at NOON ET at my Frogby Shop. Each felted Frogby comes with a mini-comic for you and a mini-mini comic for your little friend. 🧶🐸 frogby.bigcartel.com
I've been making silly little adventure cats tiny art! These are about the size of Pokemon cards. You can find them here! www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?s...
Got home from vacation and took a 3 hour nap.
A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!
