Umburrough Pages 1-5 This is a webcomic I've been working on for sometime, and I'm finally posting it for the internet to see. Updates are going to be sporadic and infrequent for the time being, but I will be mostly focusing on getting the Website up. #webcomic #digitalart #comic

Switching your main feed on here to an image only feed, like The 'Gram, is the absolute move. People are so much less likely to share images of stuff they don't like/appreciate/etc. People are so much more likely to write out angry/negative/drama posts.

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

thinking again about that twitter post that went like "if you can swap 'the homestuck fandom' into your grievance with 'the left' without changing anything else, you're not mad about politics, you're mad at the internet"

Some leftists were mean to me on the internet and that's basically at the root of why everything sucks is a very specific brand of douchebag bullshit. The level of self-absorption this entails is intellectually disqualifying.

artists support each other when systems will not. there's little safety net. it is resilience. artists are not your competitors. artists are your peers, mentors, and the ones who will defend the ability to create sustainably. to those who struggle to continue drawing, you are an artist.

The who IP vs AI debate is such a shitshow because it's really two different regimes of seizing and enclosing our collective creative commons. Disney's entire model is taking folklore and transforming it media that they and they alone control, OpenAI's model is just Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I thought being a professional artist had radicalized me enough against AI shit, but now that I’m working in childcare and seeing the slop on kid’s YouTube, my hatred knows no bounds. There is no well or pit deep enough to throw the ghouls pushing this shit.

One bright side to being forced to live in an AI slop tornado is now I see my artistic mistakes as incredibly endearing. The human machine of my body made that weird line. My worst day of drawing is completely untouchably better than anything AI will ever produce until the heat death of the universe

It remains absolutely fucking wild to me how many people seem to have radicalized themselves against the very concept of "judging a person morally by their words and actions".

Remember when we made fun of Doug Walker for summing up Pink Floy’d song about the abusive and pedophilic British school system with “lol, so school sucks, grow a pair of balls!” Anyway here’s my post about how this guy on bluesky is a big whiney anarkiddy who just needs to grow up…

Artists have already been struggling because of AI. The loss of work has been very real and very tangible. And now we're heading into a recession with skyrocketing inflation If you have the means, please support your favorite artists. Join their Patreons. Buy prints from their shop. We need it
