Digital painting of a fairy with giant blue morpho butterfly wings and a faint halo, holding a lantern that attracts butterflies.

Digital painting of a deer centaur. He has long snow white hair that drapes over his chest, goatee, and a pair of velvety black antlers with a blue-ish sheen. His centaur body is of a black stag with a white belly. and white spots sprayed across its back. On its back is also a pair of medium sized butterfly wings with blue markings and coloration. He is wielding a staff that's seemingly made of gnarled organic material, perhaps wood, and on its end is a pair of reptilian hands, holding a white crystal ball. There is a flurry of black and blue butterflies swirling around him.

Given the obvious portents for Republicans, seems that this election is going to be riddled with fake Democrats and the billionaires that fund them.

DHS said that Ruben Ray Martinez was a threat.

That he “rammed” their vehicles.

Video evidence shows he was at a full stop and not a danger to anyone.

They shot him three times and killed him.

Just like Marimar Martinez, Renee Good & Alex Pretti.

They’re lying to cover up murder.

Personal commission that I created recently.

The client requested I make it a freebie so 8x10 prints are available via my free downloads archive!

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

Why ‪@why.bsky.team‬ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code.

"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.

Gouache illustration of an American robin on a starry background

February is nearly over and so is #FebruaryFrost26 🥺 For the final week (Sparkling & Robin) I was determined to paint an *American* robin—I have always under-appreciated these guys because frankly, European robins are way cuter 😂 But I now definitely have a new appreciation for my local robins 🤍

We respect all types of work boots in this house [picture of some construction work boots and a pair of white sparkly pleaser boots]

How come “How are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Total eclipse of the full blood moon is tonight, in case you haven’t checked in on the doom portents lately.

Today is Disability Day of Mourning.

People with disabilities are far more likely to be trapped in abusive relationships.

To be killed.

To be assaulted.

We’re forced into legislated poverty & made to be dependent on people who don’t always have our best interests at heart.
