A digital illustration of three recently announced Pokémon: the water gecko called gecqua, the fire puppy called pombon, and the bean chick called browt. They are on a dark teal background and the whole image has a papery texture.

Leave it to Pokémon to help me out of an art funk. 🫶 #pokémon

Text post that reads:
Hey lovelies!
I hope everyone had a happy holiday season, and that the New Year is off to a good start!
I have been… mostly disconnected from the internet. Which I think is good! But I also don’t really have a lot of art to share, which makes me feel.. a little disappointed with myself. But I’m just going day by day. Even though I’m in a creative funk, I’m happy and I love my life. I don’t want anyone to think that I’m having a hard time just because I haven’t been posting. (Sometimes this is the case, because that’s life, but right now things are good!)

Anyway, hopefully I’ll be back to making content soon, but I’m not going to stress too much about it.”

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

friendly reminder that you didn't waste your year. any moments of happiness or comfort. any small accomplishments, they all matter. this has been a really hard year, and simply surviving is something to be proud of.

A photo of a cheerful artist’s booth at a pop culture convention. The banner says “HappyGo!” in bright colors, and the table is adorned with happy animal art on prints, bags, notebooks, and more. Behind the table stands the artist, a woman with short dark hair and glasses.

A cute digital illustration of the Pokémon typhlosion embracing the hisuian variant typhlosion. They hug with their eyes closed happily, both of them glowing with warm yellow and purple fire respectively. They are surrounded by dark greenery and a starry sky.

FanX in SLC is this weekend and I’m super excited because I’ll have a bunch of new art, including this print of Typhlosions! I love, love.

If you see a rabbit outside that seems to be an unusual color or size for a wild rabbit it is probably a domesticated rabbit that has been dumped.
I’m very passionate about this!! Domesticated rabbits do not survive in the wild.Outside is a death sentence. If you find one PLEASE contact a rescue!!!

The snow leopard Pokémon chien-pao lies on the ground next to the goldfish Pokémon chi-yu. There are tiny hearts between them. They are each the shiny version of their respective Pokémon.
