"if you consent to your art being used to teach other artists, what's the matter with genAI using your art?" Literally consent. It's my art and my terms of service. I want other artists to learn from me. I don't want large language models learning from my art. It's that simple.

An illustration of a little girl drawing on the walls of her slightly unusual house. My father is an antique collector and I grew up in a house full of strange and old and beautiful things. I had a lot of struggles making this, but my dad is quite happy with this illustration. :)

Ok I absolutely recommend making yourself a bird bag. Excellent weekend project. Extremely funny if you add legs. The pattern is pretty well done, I wish some steps included more detailed diagrams or photos. madison-makes.com/shop/fly-awa...

Illustration art of a child drawing their dream world. All this while, I've been mostly drawing what my son loves. This time I decided to take some time to think and draw what my younger self loved. I don't think we're that different though! We both love insects, birds and dragons.. Drawn digitally in Procreate and Photoshop

Illustration of a small black cat with large white eyes sitting on a grassy field. The background is a textured sky blending bluish-gray tones with abstract warm orange shapes layered across it. The text above reads: “It’s almost never about being fully ready. It’s mostly about being brave enough to try and choose courage anyway.”

Children's book illustration from Truckosaurus, a picture book written by Karen Shapiro and due to be published by Sourcebooks in March 2026. It depicts a half-truck, half dinosaur playing jump rope with an axolotl and a laser-toothed tiger with glow-in-the-dark pythons in the background. Everyone is wearing party hats. I really enjoyed working on this insanely fun book.

An illustration of a child with a bunch of birds facing forward. Birds include a Major Mitchell Cockatoo, a blue footed Booby and a Barn Owl. The boy still has his net for some reason, and there are still no insects to be found.
