An exchange on twitter. controlla.xyz: If you hate Al you probably just hate art and expression It's an infinite mashup of all the best art ever made by humans lesliejandersonwriter: If you hate the juice at the bottom of a restaurant dumpster you just hate food and cooking. It's an infinite mashup of all the best food made by humans!
I love this.
Successes: the order of operation in which i laid down inks then pencil. The atmospheric perspective. The water. The clouds. Failures; accidentally smearing ink across the page from my hand(whomp) and an overuse of pencils and blending in the sky. Do less.
A5 painted study of a landscape done in ink. Clouds in a blue sky over rolling hills on the horizon of an ocean view with reeds in the foreground.
Spent some time today working out how to pull off the concept of Atmospheric Perspective with my inks, so i can do landscapes without them looking so flat. Also working on refining inks + pencils mixed media, with mixed success. #artstudy #art #inks
A photo of a sketchbook page with a sailing brig drawn in blue ink, next to an instant polaroid photo of the view. In the far background is the brig being studied on a cloudless sunny day
Much too nice a day to stay indoors and look at reference images online so into the world i go. Why do boats have so much rope. What if they were manned by spiders instead of people and the ropes were webs… i’m getting off topic. What a lovely day

oh! does this mean… i’m winning…
twitter screenshot of idiot asking grok if art can be made by non people to which it firmly shuts his ass down saying AI images are merely a simulation of art.
lmao even the machine doesnt consider AI images to be art
Inside me are two wolves
One wants vibrant colours crisp lines and glow effects digital art and the other wants crunchy texture faux traditional digital art
Why am i drawing giant leafy sea dragons? Don’t worry about it its nothing

AI and Crypto data centers need to be the first ones to lose power in a brown out.
Just tried to plug my aux cord into my energy drink. Good start to the day

Diary entry for November 3, 2025. Scraps of red and black fabric glued to a small diary page with words written in between the lines of fabric. “‘Made a journal walled out of scraps. It needs refining, but it shows promise. (Same.)”
And, I’ve started trying to do stupid little journal entries for my stupid mental health. Did this one about today and then hurt my own feelings by writing “needs refining but shows promise.”
Three notebooks wrapped in burgundy corduroy fabric and bound with an elastic band, in warm lighting, sitting on a faded pink mink blanket
I would like one of those cute, aesthetic traveler’s journals. Alas, I am poor. So! I attempted to craft one today for my three-notebooks-in-a-trenchcoat setup and it… almost worked? 2026’s yearly diaries will be A5 probably so i will refine the design till i get it right. #diy #journal
just learned that some estimates put the global rat population at about 7 billion, which would mean there's more people on earth than rats. so not all of us could be ratatouille'd at the same time
Unclench your jaw.
Relax your brow.
Go get a drink of water.
See if you've taken your meds
Eat something.
Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing.
Because you do.
You're a wonderful person.
And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through
I have things to do this afternoon. Alas, I have Sat Down.
Take what you need:
🫂 A gentle hug
💐 Some kind thoughts
🫶 "You're doing so well"
✨ A long comforting cuddle
💫 A reminder that you're magical and capable
💜 "I love you"
🌟 A kiss on the forehead
🪄 A sprinkling of fairy dust
My own (beautiful, wonderful) cat did not disappoint last night either. This is how i imagine she feels when I’m ignoring her (because I’m asleep)
Joining a new social media is like trying to make friends with cats. I’m here, nearby. Can’t get too close or it will run away and ignore me. Throw the occasional chin scritch it’s way. Wait for it to approach you. Lament your choices when it screams at you at three am and you can’t figure out why
I have the ability to eat bread and cheese and stare into a fire for basically an unlimited amount of time and for this I think I would have made a good peasant
Deep red, purple, orange, and gold grape leaves. Hanging between them is a cluster of dark purple wine grapes that have started to wither and turn into alcoholic raisins.
This little vineyard is the entirety of someone's yard in a nearby area where I walk. The leaves are beautiful right now but they didn't pick any of their grapes???

I need to figure out a hashtag to use so i can find the art I inspire to emulate one day because this is BEAUTIFUL (and i’m lowkey obsessed with Talisen’s character how does he do it every time)
A collage of three cats drawn in digital art. One fat calico looking up to the left, one black cat wearing a sunflower and meowing to the left and a long haired ginger cat sitting politely
Yay! Cats! I’m a mostly digital artist so here are some cats i’ve drawn over the years. My website is stonesdraws.art i draw so many cool things
Oh no he’s so sad let me hug him (incredible art!!!)
I can’t find a schedule button for my posts (not sure if thats a thing yet here but thats okay) so enjoy my rapid fire thoughts posted in the span of a few minutes
I will eventually be posting my own art and words here for everyone’s apathetic doom scrolling, but i am working on Glazing my images for the socials so that AI can’t grab em and that is… a process. In the mean time I have a website with my faves and commissioned work on it stonesdraws.art #antiai
Illustration by Abigail Larson for "The Horror Tarot" depicting a seance scene in tones of red. Hands rest on a planchette hovering over a Ouija board. There's a red curtain backdrop, and a vintage brass lamp with a red glass shade lights the scene. Small candles and a red glass water pitcher and goblet are arranged on the table.

Halloween is almost here 🖤🍷🩸
