Em

Well, it's time for a pinned post and the year's half over so here are some of my favorite, finished digital pieces. A thread. My name is Em, by the way. I live in NYC with my husband and cats and I love movies, music and I am an illustrator and multimedia artist and goblin girl

Threads is where the conversation is happening

The Cheesecake Factory “controversy” is nice because it’s a rerun of the exact kind of stupid shit we had to sit through every day of the Obama administration. Now Zoomers don’t have to feel left out of having their own Obama “controversy” to reference.

I wrote a lil something about how frustrating it is to try and have kids now. Give it a read!

I've never watched a Nathan Fielder thing and I do wanna see his doc about the Theranos lady but I'm really worried that all this hype is like when everyone told me that Bo Burnham's Inside was a devastating masterpiece and it was just a stunted, spoiled millennial making Reddit jokes to music

My son made a meme.

Lasted one day cleaning luxury rooms at a local resort. My boss was a virulently racist methhead who spent the whole day shrieking at me and loudly complaining about Mexicans (but she did not call them that) coming to steal our jobs. Easiest decision of my life.

My parents are coming to visit and I am very stressed out about it but I got them some fuckin' choice pastrami from the local Jewish deli and surely that alone will promote me to Favorite Child

Weirdest piece of political memorabilia I've ever seen.

trans rights or else

Bluesky feels increasingly lonely, Threads feels like there was a gas leak, twitter feels like there was a gas leak and also everyone is a nazi, the internet is just less fun these days idk

I'm to the point where I don't even like looking at people clowning on AI art anymore. I just don't wanna see AI art at all.

Hey Artists, Let's try a different kind of art train. Pick an aspect/idea/object from this piece and share one of yours that relates to it.

Well, what did i tell you, Short Man???

I bite into Biberty's skull, expecting warm biberty goo to rush down my cheeks, but instead ... nothing but dust. A decoy. He's messing with me.

Scientists observing animals: They may seem to mourn their dead but we must be never allow ourselves to anthropomorphize these creatures. Scientists observing software programmed to shit out bad country songs & undress pictures of random women: We have created God

Ah fuck I've had this exact conversation

This movie rules but I am unfortunately married to the afflicted so I can't revisit it until he's out of the house 🥲

I do think it's important to give grace to people who realize they made the wrong choice. I don't want to. but other nicer people def should do that. I dont give a shit.

Pumpkin Dance. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, 95 × 64 mm. From 2021.

These were three individual pieces I did in 2021. Unplanned, they became something of an accidental sequence. They then prompted me to make the piece in the quoted post, of the pumpkin dance, by way of a conclusion. Ink on Fabriano Medioevalis, each 95 × 64 mm.

Seeing so many people in my life think obvious AI slop is cool art honestly has me thinking about all of the times they complimented my artwork, like "oh shit, are their eyes broken and that's why they told me they liked my stupid drawings?"
