hey all, just a heads up to my artist peers- this is all AI slop, I would avoid this. It isn't adobe code, it's just vibecoded to emulate their features.

Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source. Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update. getartcraft.com/apps

My girlfriend and I spent our 10th anniversary this weekend going to a Gorillaz concert. So happy I got to enjoy one of my most cherished bands with the woman who has been my greatest friend and support over these past ten years. Love you so much, Laura. πŸ’–

I've been getting a few of these emails in my inbox lately, so lemme say this upfront: If you send me a collab offer, and there is AI of any kind advertised in the email, I am not interested. As an artist, I do not support or condone it whatsoever in my line of work.

Out here plugging @trueref.bsky.social again since I used another one of their fantastic pose ref's by the model Maggie. Don't wanna spam tag them, but seriously, their references are top notch, please go give their work support and love. bsky.app/profile/true...

A new Narrative Beats art ref pack is here! 🀍✨ Narrative beats focuses on consecutive shots showing a full range of movement and everyday story telling beats- like cooking. Pairs nicely with our Dinner Time set~ Made with comic artist in mind. TrueRef: Just the reference you were looking for

I have no clue why I'm so shy and nervous about going with friends to do karaoke, but when I get to the karaoke booth, I become a rockstar with a microphone. (Folks who know, know I ain't lyin' about this.)

It's a tough road ahead regaining passion and drive for my personal art right now, but I'm thankful for everyone who's given me work to keep the bills paid. That at least keeps me from becoming too rusty.

I'm a bit scared about where my career is going, and uncertain about my motivation as an artist going forward, but I am doing my best, and the support y'all give me really keeps me from giving up entirely.
