AI marketing is built _entirely_ on ambiguity, so there is no middle ground. You either recognise its harm and oppose it, or you lend credence to the claims that it's good for society. You _have_ to choose a side or you necessarily default to the latter.

A birdie. That loves cats. Current brainrot: queer and action comics. If you enjoy my silly art or even my silly talks, please consider giving me a tip: https://ko-fi.com/tsui
Se o arquivo digital que você "compra" mora na nuvem da empresa e não pode ser baixado e acessado qd você quiser, então, você não está comprando nada.
In September, some PlayStation customers will no longer be able to access some purchased movies and shows. It underscores the fact that digital purchases are really more like long-term rentals. www.wired.com/story/sony-e...
Did you know that I make custom fonts that imitate hand lettering, and that you can pay me to make one for you? thingsbydan.co.uk/fonts/ like this one I made for @lucysullivan.bsky.social
One of last month's nsfw patreon posts. Really really happy with the lighting on this one. #tyreecomic #nsfw
also shout out to @rayday.bsky.social for figuring out a fantastic way of lettering it. Like serious. Big brain moment.
"Why does Viktor use LSM/sign if he's not deaf?" Viktor is selective mute and autistic! He also has a very bad stutter that manifests easily, esp when anxious. [which is often] He prefers signing to communicate or using his journal if the recipient doesn't understand sign. #tyreecomic
It's time to start treating the direct market as what it actually is--books for a niche audience that don't reflect the general public. Nothing wrong with a niche audience! Essence magazine readers are a niche audience. RuPaul's Drag Race has one too. The DM doesn't contain the default reader.
“I dont think my art is good enough to make this comic/webtoon/visual novel/game” You should make it, because even if your art isnt where you want it to be, the constant practice you gain while working on a project will rapidly improve your skills as oppose to just waiting
NÃO existe aprendizado meramente passivo. aula NÃO é entretenimento. aprender REQUER ESTUDAR – e estudar se faz, em grande medida, LENDO E ESCREVENDO. dá trabalho, gera ansiedade, é cansativo. mas a real é que o verbal escrito é uma TECNOLOGIA ÚNICA para a construção de conhecimento COMPLEXO.
sempre a mesma ladainha culpando o professor. querem fazer crer que a educação de nível superior tem que se tornar um showzinho de mágica para "capturar" ADULTOS que ESCOLHERAM estar ali. o que essa alegação quer é reduzir educação a algo puramente instrumental, de modo a tornar o prof substituível.
El absentismo en las universidades se desmadra y alcanza el 40% en algunas asignaturas: "50 minutos de chapa o leer un Power Point no ilusiona" ondace.ro/7em1o3
The film was built entirely by hand, from watercolor backgrounds to multiplane underwater scenes to needle-pricked paper and inverted paint techniques, without any CG. www.cartoonbrew.com/feature-film...
The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here" The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨ #queer #lesbians #illustration
Was going through my unused editorial sketches folder from the last few years, found some stuff that I wish had been used. Always a reminder that your favs likely won't be chosen, but that's the name of the freelance game! Hoping to make some new art soon🧡

Okay so if you guys wanna do the honors. help.ko-fi.com/hc/en-us/req...
I didn't know @ko-fi.com even allowed genAI on their platform. Disappointing. I would argue that prompters don't own the copyright to anything they generate, so how are they allowed to upload and sell it?
Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:
"We as developers and players need to push back against this bullsh*t just like we did with NFTs and crypto games and try in vain to do with predatory micro transactions, loot boxes and battle passes."
I always smile when I remember this 900 year old Sam & Max fanart, carved into some old twelfth century church in england
