i hate that this dumb fuckin video has worked on so many artists on the left. Like sorry man i know we are sensitive emotional souls but u need to recognize when you've been hoodwinked by spooky editing and a 3 hour runtime into thinking his dogshit arguments are smart

thumbnail of Alex Avila's 3 hour youtube video AI Wars, where he is theatrically surrounded by smoke and darkness and spooky corporate logos

J.K. Rowling is a menace to society whose anti-trans rhetoric is violent and encourages offline violence. Her telling people to take pictures of suspected trans women in bathrooms and disseminate them is sexual harassment. And it puts everyone in the women’s bathroom in danger.

I've been meaning to paint a personal piece featuring a horse for a while now! What is artistic terror for some is one of my favourite subject matters. Blend in sunflowers and fairytale dresses and I'm very happy :)

'Summer's Breeze' watercolour on hot press paper

Whimsical watercolour painting of a woman in a flowing dress riding a large black, shiny coated unicorn through a field of stylised sunflowers. The moon sits in the sky behind her as she looks behind her.

I've had the most intense bout of artblock I've ever had over the last year. The piece I just posted is the first personal art, aside from a 2-3 trashed sketches, I've done for myself in a long time... almost a year 😬

I've been reposting old art and freelance art but hopefully I can stay motivated💪

Here's a poster I did up for Season of the Lich recently where I cobbled together all the corrupted versions of the heroes I illustrated. Always fun to create new art with your old art.

poster for the board game, Season of the Lich (which never came out unfortunately... yet) It has the central lich villain up front with the corrupted versions of the heroes around her. A gallery of villains of sorts.

If you see this post a witch!
