I feel like there’s more production value in the intro for Tales of the Crypt than most Netflix shows.

I have no idea how people who do freelance maintain a Patreon at the same time (even more so if they have a day job, art or otherwise) but I am constantly marveled by it
Hell is having a storm blip the computer and now one of your drives possibly has a bad sector… If chkdsk doesn’t resolve it I might need to get a new drive. And a battery backup while I’m at it.
Meta’s new AI sunglasses will help creeps record women without their consent. And then use the videos to train Mark Zuckerberg’s robots. God forbid these tech bros build something the world ACTUALLY F*ING NEEDS???
This is what I mean when I say we need to imagine technology without the profit motive.

This painting is at Enchanted Brush right now at the Mazza Museum! The theme of this year’s show is “Homage”, where our artwork will get to sit alongside work that’s selected from Mazza’s collection. June 15-August 14 #jamesgurney #dinotopia #dinosaurs #watercolor #gouache
AI dipshits are the types who would look at the BTS footage of who framed Roger rabbit and have zero sense of wonder at how it was pulled off and marvel instead at “how much easier it is with computers now”
My whole life I was told that plagiarism is bad only to become an adult and be told it's fine now because it's A.I.
That whole video from Epic showing their concept process with AI is the stupidest thing imaginable. At no point does it meaningfully contribute and often actively fucks up the process and for what? Minor polish that doesn’t matter for concept art?
Artists! Quote with your blue art! Painted by a human 💚 #digitalpainting #dragonart #summoning #digitalart

Took close to a year and a half to finish this sketchbook, but it’s finally done. Some samples from it. #sketchbook
Mid life crises back in the day involved buying a car or some other dumb shit. I think a mid-life crisis nowadays is daydreaming the best way to effectively blow up a datacenter while debating if you search for that or not
“Creative breakthroughs happen when visionary storytellers are given access to transformative tools”-- Actually, creative breakthroughs happen when people don't have to drink brown water from data center waste. This is not cool or accessible, this is disingenuous & disappointing.
Animation Magazine@animag.bsky.social · 3mo agoThree AI animated series are heading to Prime Video streaming via Amazon MGM/AWS-backed GenAI Creators' Fund: 'Cupcake & Friends;' 'Love, Diana Music Hunters;' and 'Punky Duck' from Jorge Gutierrez.
Surest way to completely delegitimize every single thing you’ll do now and in the future and have a big ol asterisk on your past work. Hope the paycheck was worth it Gutierrez
Big Natural Resources@dagnificent.bsky.social · 3mo agoit's about who they can get to bend the knee, and then brag about being down there. They chose him. They knew there are precious few who could break industry hearts. No way this was not a targeted attack. Don't give up. I won't give up.
Oscar Isaac deserves credit for being, as far as I know, the first major actor to capture the tech bro CEO, in Ex Machina. Those guys were all over the news by then, but movies were still doing the "babbling nerd with a pocket protector" thing. Also accurate: what he really wants is slavery.
Throwback to an older piece, acrylic and colored pencil, available at @everydayoriginal.bsky.social “Queen of the Harvest”, 12x18 #acrylic #coloredpencil
From a few days ago - finishing up a piece for Dan Chudzinki’s Enchanted Brush exhibition. Been really enjoying painting in gouache, so I busted out the nicker paintsfor this one. Will have more info as it gets closer to the show. #gouache #coloredpencil #dinotopia #nickerpostercolour
Just got out of benefits enrollment meeting at work The time of year I always go “if Luigi bad, why keep doing shit to encourage Luigi?” Price went up, deductible/oop is up, annnnd now I get the joy of paying 2k a month to put my family on my health plan.
Ever have a “fuck it well do it live” moment? Hit that last night with this piece. Did some initial toning with acrylic ink, and was planning to do some underpainting washes with acrylic but after sitting around for hours not moving on it I said “fuck it” and decided to go straight to gouache
