Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

New holiday card for 2025, inspired by 'The Magician' tarot card. Never forget your creative spirit! Fluo pink + yellow + blue ink risograph.
A young woman sits on a wooden bench with a large manilla pad, holding a piece of charcoal. She is looking down at a setup of flowing featuring lilies and roses. She has curly hair which is tied up in a loose knot. Colours flow from her hand and surround her as she draws, reacting a rainbow spetrum of blobs.

1980s: “We think this heavy metal group is hiding garbled messages backward in their music. Better convene a congressional hearing.”

2020s: “This company’s chatbot is straight up encouraging teens to off themselves. We better give them billions of taxpayer dollars.”

Today's #ArtAdventCalendar features a headpiece with a detachable halo. I have yet to use this in a photoshoot, but I hope it'll get an opportunity soon!

#art #artpost #snow #snowflake #headpiece #crown #wintervibes #snowqueen
A wig stand is set up before a dark room, lighting up the wig and headpiece on it. The headpiece has 5 white rays coming out of it with white branches between the rays; they are all covered in sparkling and clear rhinestones. White fluff sits along the hairline, looking like snow. A white halo covered in clear gemstones and pearls arches over it.

I loved making this crown, I love wearing it, and I love seeing it in photos. I also loved painting a Catrina that matched the beautiful embroidery on this Ayuujk shirt.

Sophie stands in front of a solid red background looking up, wearing a gold halo filigree headpiece with pearls and red rhinestones. There is a halo of red and orange marigolds above her dark hair in 2 braids. She is wearing gold filigree earrings, a white shirt with red and black flower Mixtec embroidery, a purple and yellow fabric belt, and a blue skirt. Her face is in a Catrina with patterns that match the shirt embroidery. One hand is down at her side; the other is gently frames her crown.

#ArtAdventCalendar 9/24 - from the long strange summer of 2020, a beautiful eerie #landscape near Kalaloch in Olympic National Park. One of my last solo camping trips; maybe someday I can go again. #photography #canonphotography
A color photo of a hazy shore with seastacks rising from the low tide flats. They are perfectly reflected in the wet sand. The background is obscured by fog and haze but the sky is blue. Trees on a hillside are dimly visible.

Today my #ArtAdventCalendar post features a #headpiece that is currently very unique in my selection. I made this inspired by #ArtNouveau and #Jugendstil  #jewelry and #headpieces and hope to make more in 2026!

A wig on stand is facing the side, showing the profile of a delicate silver headpiece. There are heavy dark silver filigree pieces serving as the base of the structure, one is a headband made up of squares, and another that is a circle that sits over the ear that has a mandala-like pattern on it with many small silver bells hanging. Thin silver chains with black, blue, and silver beads make up the back and front decorations, framing the hair and the face. A wig is on a stand is facing the wall, showing the back of a delicate silver headpiece. 3 delicate chains adorn the back of the head. The top chain has 2 triangle filigree pieces on either side of a set of black and blue beads; these sit on the crown of the head. The second chain is made up of a repeating pattern of silver, blue, and black beads. The last chain dangles around the back of the neck, a long silver chains interrupted by single silver beads and groups of blue and black beads. The camera is angled down onto the top of the delicate silver headpiece. There are heavy dark silver filigree pieces serving as the base of the structure, shaped like squares and act like a headband. The center square has a filigree flower on it with a rhinestone in its center. It's also possible to see the top hair chain that sits on the crown on the head. It has two triangle filigree pieces on either side of a set of black and blue beads.

Freaking loving this consistent -20C. Maybe the canal will open before the New Year? One can dream.
Pic of an ice canal at sunrise, with a bright sun reflecting off the ice surface. Fun fact this was my old work commute, 7km one way.

My horned art? 🐐

Inside the two empty spaces in that shape, a vegvisir rune and an aegysjhalmur rune in silver, and at the bottom in the side of the wallet front a golden valknut rune. The red background is textured as grain Close pic of a leather passport cover, with the symbol of a very lineal deer's head carved and the words "RYVSTRAD pasaporte", dyed in shades of light brown and sewed with beige thread Pic of a mimic chest from D&D lore, made of leather simulating wood and metal bars decorating it.

Here is a French Christmas ad for a supermarket. It has infinitely better look, story, and message. It actually sparks joy in you rather than leaving you depressed, unlike Coca-Cola and McDonald's AI ads.
