to this day, “venture” is still such a diabolical play on words here

I still think about this piece often. It's really stuck with me

Shit dude I feel it

Oh, god, my heart. 😭 I'm proud of you, dear tiger, but so sorry...this is not what the future was supposed to be...! :( Absolutely incredible piece! Breaks my heart 💔, but darn impressive to capture such raw emotion so vividly. <3

So Happy to see this again, this has always stuck with me since I've first Seen it.

I remember this image. I had it saved on my old hard drive for some reason. It spoke to me on how the world was at the time. The world is still like that now unfortunately. How something wonderful can be watered down and turned into a money grabbing activity. Depression and wonder all in one

Oh god I've been looking for this pic for years since I first saw it in 2020, thank you

It's only getting more real

Oh hey, wasn't aware you'd moved over. Great piece to let me know you are here though.

i didn't notice the logos on it before then read the explanation. what a really good piece

From Federation to Ferengi

This piece has its own alcove in my mind palace

Oh yeah, I did draw some different animal went to space too last year ago.

I remember this really well, and it's a favorite for sure. I think about it a lot, especially since it seems like private venture has only seemed to make a grab at the public commons more than ever. Anyway, love this piece!

if I'm honest, it haunts me too

My Kerbals on their way to attempt to lift a busload of annoying hundred-thousandaires into a parking orbit of Minmus so that MAXO Construction Toys™ will bankroll my next serious scientific endeavor

I see Amazon and space, and all I can think about is that purple furry nepo baby who annoyed me on twitter.

Still massively powerful, and still massively upsetting how it seems to be more relevant every year

MAN, this piece really hits hard.... are you going to crosspost the explanation you had for this piece from twitter over to bluesky, by the way? Shame I missed it the first time, I can't see it over there

"And the papers want to know whose shirt you're wearing"

Profit-seeking rocketeering enabled by equipment built by the lowest bidders? I'd have that face, too.

Very 🫤👍

Still one of my faves from you, my god

anything to appease shareholders

I never understood why he looked so depressed until I started to pay attention to the world and now I understand on a spiritual level

Oh my god I remember this one

The more time that passes, the more powerful this becomes. It's been a few years since I've first seen this piece, but it still hits me all the same.

I love this image.

it definitely tugs at my heartstrings

The explanation for this piece is now private, can you post it here too?

@mongreldog.bsky.social

Thinking about how much has changed since you first created this

this is /The Piece/ to me. So glad to see it here!

oughhh... i love it

The b&L logo tops it off

What kind of brush did you use for painting this? Gosh it's so good 👀👀👀

I think about this piece a LOT, whether it's due to a new tech "thing" or another space launch.

Joining the throngs of people who want to read your explanation.

very happy to see this again

This belongs in a museum I think

Hot damn. It's not every day you see the fandom attempt "poignant art" but when it hits it hits!

He knows.

I still stand by how devastating this piece is and how effective the caption is at completing the work

Congratulations on your bit of success / we can't wait to see what you do next! 🔗 weasyl.com/~kavaeric/submissions/1919634/ 🔗 furaffinity.net/view/36981197/

I cant believe I just NOW noticed the Buy N Large logo

At first I was confused scrolling by, but the expression made me look again... then I saw all the logos, the flag, and the background... this is too real and it hurts. Wow.

the expression kills me to this day. hard to tell whether this piece is prescient, or if the Rot has been with us for over four years now...

wow, poignant

It’s more telling with the expression and the Amazon logo in the background

any similarity to actual events is purely intentional

"Cheer up, Rajah, we've lowered the probability of you blowingup to only 29.99% !" "So... nearly a third" "dangit I forget that doesn't work on people who are good at math"

this one hurts to gaze upon. thank you for your service in making very uncomfortable art

I didn't realize you were on bluesky. Following now

Loved this when you first made it, and time has only made it more relevant and real, great work as always

still one of your best works to this day, an absolute masterpiece

This piece still speaks to me as a space, NASA, and Sagan fangirl

I'm very glad this art of yours happened upon me again, i love it a lot. It only grew more powerful with time, alas...

This piece remains one of your most stunning artworks. It's filled with melancholy.

You can feel the passion and energy for exploring the stars being sucked away as the spacesuit is adorned with private space travel and military companies like a race car.

This is beautiful, but every time I see it it breaks my heart.

This is both simultaneously: "Brother euuugh" and "Peak." Incredible.

Tough to pick favourites of your work but this one has stayed with me since I first saw it.

Seeing this again awoke a melancholia in me I forgot I was carrying
