I'm thinking of getting/making a pressure pot this winter so I might be messing around with mold making again. Maybe something MadBall shaped will roll out 👽

3d printed a golden ratio caliper. Now I can fairly easily figure out the ratio of various things.

Seeing how Gideon the crochet puppet measures up to the Golden Ratio.

Last week @juupiter.com and I were at a painting workshop at Chapel of Sacred Mirrors led by Alex and Allyson Grey. Really amazing experience! We're going to do some blog posts about it soon at imaginarymonsters.com

Me with my puppet Gideon on my shoulder. We're standing in front of a painting I worked on at a painting workshop at Chapel of Sacred Mirrors.

@juupiter.com busy working on their self portrait at the painting workshop.

After a busy day of painting, even Gideon needs to rest. 🖌️

If I was planning Nintendo Switch 2 sales vs tariffs and prices had to go up, I'd include some Shop credit or some digital download codes. I wonder if digital sales get taxed by an import tariff since it's just electricity in the end.

Peter @imaginarymonsters.bsky.social · Apr 4

Maybe trying to do big shelf impact "this is unmistakably a Switch 2 game". Top red bar is a little oof but hopefully less confusing than new 3ds games

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

Herzog/Kinsky Nosferatu is way good too

I also learned that if I add emoji (literally these guys ✌️👽) into the text of a WordPress post either WordPress or Themify freaks out and deletes all of the content of the post. Lucky I copied the post export before it exploded and I could troubleshoot it. Maybe emojis require a plugin 😂

🔴CALLING ALL ARTISTS🔴

Christie's NYC is planning an AI art auction expected to bring in over $600,000 to creators who've used models trained on copyrighted material from non-consenting artists.

If you object to this, please sign and share this open letter.

openletter.earth/cancel-the-c...

8 February 2025
Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction

Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez

Christie’s, New York

Dear Nicole and Sebastian,

We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s.

Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them.

Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work.

We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction.

Yours sincerely,

The undersigned artists
