Heya! Just your local illustrator, concept artist, and comic nerd that loves fantasy to bits! If I'm not obsessively drawing I'm probably obsessively gaming!

Art friends: Here's a tip for getting rid of *a lot* of the AI slop in your Pinterest feed.

⭐Go into your account settings.
⭐Click the "Refine your recommendations" tab.
⭐Click the GenAI Interests subtab.
⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING.

So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

Screenshot of the Pinterest settings menu. The option "Refine your recommendations" is circled.

Screengrab of the Refine Your Recommendations tab in Pinterest's settings. The subtab GenAI Interests is circled.
Below, all options have been turned off.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Up next in our line of game developers is Brother Ming Games with their deck building game Pond (art/design by Pond HQ) ! This 2-4 player game has you amass your own frog army and take them with you across the pond to fight other frog armies to take over the pond!

BM 1: An open set of red curtains with little circus froggy heads, mini sparklers, a microphone and drums frame the reveal of a Game Developer: Brother Ming Games! The top of the curtain frame had a beige ribbon that says “Frog Con 2025” and the bottom framing ribbons say “Game Dev”, “Brother Ming Games”, and G2 (artist alley table number). In the revealed middle space, there is a board game laid out with frog minis of various heights standing off against each other on an illustrated pond board.

A board game box called pond is on display showcasing various frogs exploring and fighting amongst each other in a pond. Next to the board game are cards with different frogs/mechanics, mini frogs of various heights used in the game, and a list of features about the game [2-4 players, 45-90 min/game, for ages 10+]

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

FFXIV viera OCs, Bjorn and Vide. Bjorn brushes aside Vide's hair so he could look into the blue eyes he's so fond of. Vide sits on Bjord's lap, smiling, a hand pressed to his chest. The moment is intimate, quiet, illuminated by the light of a hearth.

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
