Zelda Williams, on how she feels about people generating AI videos of her dad Robin. I echo these same sentiments on AI. It's repulsive, overpriced fast food that isn't art, or entertainment. I recommend everyone take time to read this and evaluate how you see AI. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Robin Williams' daughter pleads for people to stop sending AI videos of her dad

The filmmaker said it is not what her dad, who died in 2014, would have wanted.

After working hard in school for a whole year I came to a very funny realization. Out of all the ponies from MLP I'm literally like Twilight Sparkle so, of course, I had to make a kin-sona as a goof
She’s not an official sona - more like a gag. Plus I need to give her a name…

Creative Comrade @5lafka.bsky.social · 22d

She just like me fr #kinsona #mlpsona #5lafka2025 #5lafka5onas

Drawing of a twilight sparkle kinsona, the image shows a purple pony who looked like twilight sparkled but has different features that are pointed out with text around her: green eyes, curly hair that gets greasy fast so it’s already in a ponytail or clip, well trimmed golden hooves. She is using her magic to hold up a coffee cup.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

The trick I've found to be the most useful when designing a story's cast is not just to work them up in silhouette (ensuring that they read differently at a foundational level), but to start with literal shapes. You can more easily spot the means to differentiate similar components (like armor).

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"

That's... usually not the case!

In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.

We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

I just finished some glamor shots of this spring’s sculptures. These two little beasts are each about 4” long. Fired for 50 some hours in my train kiln!
They’re all packed up, ready to head to the Seattle Art Fair.

Two wood fired creatures, playing tug of war with a bit of fancy cord.

Another view. They’re simple, stylized, with no facial feature.

This view is the side of the beast that faced the firebox in the kiln. There’s much heavier ash, running in rivulets.

This side is the side away from the flame. The rich red of the clay is more visible.

One of the most powerful things is looking at the cave art for early modern humans. They didn't do it for money, to become influencers.

In an era where survival was a challenge, it was something they needed to do. Art is a part of our humanity.

I was thinking about the impermanence of the internet in general. So, in a similar vein I started doing clay tablets of people's characters.
