Hey, so our workshop got broken into over the weekend. Most of what was stolen was just replaceable stuff, but one very precious mask was taken. Tierney's head has been stolen. If anyone sees this head anywhere, let us know immediately. Hoping against hope that we can bring her home.

A brown-colored gryphon mask modeled after a female northern cardinal, with an orange beak and orange crest. Its eyes are green, slitted like a housecat's.

While ShieldFont isn’t a foolproof defense, its implementation could create a lot of extra work for scrapers and slow down the indiscriminate, large-scale scraping that's become increasingly prevalent across the web.

The web’s newest weapon against AI scrapers is a font

“ShieldFont” aims to poison AI training data without making pages unreadable for people.

My masters is officially submitted. Everything is out of my hands now. Guess it's time to capitalize on some of my free time to work on art so I don't chew myself to pieces in the interim to my defense.

Themis @thebleedinghart.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Really getting tired of finding places that might be good places to hang out only to discover they are AI-friendly. No thanks. You can have rules for your hangouts, but I got rules on my own integrity especially when it comes to art. Want me to show up? No AI. Period.

Themis @thebleedinghart.bsky.social · 3mo ago

My masters defense has been scheduled for the end of June. It's both so far away, and screaming up on me faster than I thought possible. Time is doing that wibbly-wobbly thing again... and I am not so sure I like it. Time to go read more papers and scream into the void!

I just paid my last school bill, and registered for graduation. All I can think about? Is the day when I can resume making things has inched tantalizingly close. Soon! Horns and antlers galore!

Just a reminder of what's coming this summer post-graduation. More casting projects than you can shake a stick at!

Themis@thebleedinghart.bsky.social · 5mo ago

As soon as my educational endeavours are over this summer, I will begin casting horns and antlers for costumes in both resin and foam. Just a small sample of my backlog.

Themis @thebleedinghart.bsky.social · 4mo ago

I cast antlers! An example of the casting I do. This is the set of reindeer antlers I cast for my armored caribou. They went from a coupe of pounds of bone, to a couple ounces of resin. First and second pics have the originals and casts. Last one is the completed casts. Hard to tell they ain't real!

Themis @thebleedinghart.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Contemplating the sale of the first head I ever made. $600. IT HAS FLAWS. Comes with an abbreviated set of hands that I never liked. Horns are cast of foam, and fragile. I can cast new horns for $100-150 species dependent at buyers request. More pics in replies.

Become a unicorn they said. It'd be fun the said. Well, they were right! Got makeup on order for around my eyes, but man, this mask is a lot of fun to wear! Feels just like a second skin. Mask made by @magpiebones.bsky.social #unicorn #costume #mask

Finally finished my #FireHorse for the #LunarNewYear (only 2 months late! 😅), combined with my feelings about ICE. I have this in a b/w version too, if folks want to color their own, and both pics are available upon request for printing on protest posters/merch. Please comment or DM if interested. 😊

Digital art, done in Medibang, of a stylized, fiery, enraged unicorn plunging his horn into the surface of a frozen lake to shatter the ice, and the cracks in the ice resemble stylized lightning bolts. The background is a circular night sky full of stars, with light rays radiating out from the point of impact. There's text encircling the unicorn that says "Hearts on fire don't play nice; feel our ire break the ICE." There's also an emblem of a burning heart on the unicorn's chest. The whole image was colored via stock images of watercolor gradient paper.
