I think the biggest damage to the art community was the obsolescence of gallery sites (y!, deviantart, etc) and the rise of scroll-by social media, like twitter and even tumblr. Art is not ''content'', you shouldnt need to post art every day (or every month!) to be relevant. This mindset sucks.

Hello, my bathroom ceiling collapsed. Unrelated, would you like to buy some art? They’re calling it “the best time” to do it ✨

Perfect emails at the end of a very hard day
It's March 5th, and you know it!
All year I have a savings account for tax payments, and a few years ago I started another for a very nice treat for myself every time I file them. It doesn’t help but I have nice shoes.
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company
A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.
Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.
This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

Update. Gold done and cloak started
"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.
Gotta live to see this guy swaying beneath a bridge
I love being an illustrator because you can be in a meeting and refer to a book of your favourite shapes and colours and be confronted by the fact that you have, to hand; a book of shapes and colours
The recently defrosted caveman listens to universally known music for the first time genre of video is like a night time glue trap for me. I know it’s fake but I want them to get to the bit in daft punks Digital Love and they better react the way I want them to or I’m gonna do it
I hope nobody saw me pinch zoom that recipe book
These streams have kept me both conscious and sane during newborn trenches and long, late nights and I highly recommend them all ❤️
My husband is a trained killer… he’s not trained to be killed 🥺
Happy birthday!

Like I’m happy this is still my job either way and I’m lucky to be living on it but once in this life I would like to confidently say what the next 5 years will look like
Started selling prints last year for the same reasons and made more than I ever have and this year that seems to have reversed and I have to remember how to freelance again 🥴
Thanks!

Don’t read this out in court officer I mean yeah posting won’t stop the war but fucking do it anyway
My favourite The Fall lyric is
“I've been sharpening a knife in the bathroom
On a brick I got from the garden
No one will fuck with me again”
Because it really nails how pathetic and absurd being angry at the world make you feel and sound, but you’re still doing Something
I make illustrations of flowers do you like them wouldn’t they be so nice in your home
