My first gallery show!! This summer I was part of an art festival, one of the galleries hosting it invited me to be a visiting artist!
I am so unbelievably proud of myself. If you’d like to see them in person (and some incredible work from other artists) I’m at the Fox Clark gallery in Indiana PA
Happy Jeff Goldblum day!
Why is it Jeff Goldblum day? Because I’m posting a painting of Jeff Goldblum I just finished!

Torn between becoming inured to the horrors to preserve my mental health and raging against the horrors because JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK
I think they’re against anything other than squatting in the fields to birth a baby. Because, you know, medical interventions save mothers lives
lol. I am absolutely not surprised that the mommy blog space has slid hard into MAGA. I spent years trying to fit into that space and it was awful.
I adore your set up! And also the subject. Can’t wait to see it when you’re done!

Judge rules George R.R. Martin and other authors can sue OpenAI for copyright infringement

• Said ChatGPT generated 'Game of Thrones' content similar enough to infringe copyright

• OpenAI’s motion to dismiss was denied
Correlation definitely is causation if you call it a “causative association”
I can not stress deeply enough how the concept of fan fiction and fannon helped me understand the religious right.

Hate to do this but can you guys share this tiktok around on that app because a dude is stealing my art and designs and is running a dropshipping scam to steal people's money and the copyright forms are literally not doing their job. I can't let my work be used like this

Being a creative in 2025 is like, okay, time to work: first, let’s have a good cry about all the cruelty we are powerless to stop in the world but not too long, don’t want to drown in despair and alright time to draw my silly little pictures now
I have a notebook where I keep notes for the making money and promotion side of things. But lately it’s just a lot “why am I even doing this”
Putting chili crunch on all my food just to feel something
Everytime I sit down to paint I have a challenge in mind. An expression or a lighting or color challenge. Something to give it a little spice.
Unfortunately this means that I am 100% of the time making things harder on myself than they need to be.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!
Real uses for it where it can be incredibly useful. But those are not what it’s being marketed for. And it is not able to create art. You wouldn’t expect a customer service chat bot to write you anything meaningful. Everyone who’s used one knows they suck. AI is all marketing and it’s a scam
Do a great job at processing human language into searchable data. And that’s a huge deal. But LLMs are not ‘intelligent’ in anyway. They’re a souped up version of the predictive text bar on your phone and smarter_child on AIM (iykyk). What drives me nuts is that there are legitimate and real- 🧵2
I hate AI so much. But more than that- I hate the hype and lies. Large language models do represent a big step forward in certain areas of computing. Specifically in the area of natural language processing. (NLP) 5 or 6 years ago NLP was a brass ring that people were striving for, and LLMs do - 🧵1
I’ve been playing a mobile subway game (mini metro) and have been looking for something even nerdier. This looks fabulous
Plein aire painting is so wonderful. It is so calming. Just sitting outside and focusing very carefully on something in the distance. I’m pretty sure that’s a kind of meditation
