Has anyone figured out how to tell their older friends that the video or photo they posted is just Ai, in a polite and non-judgmental way?

I think a 1 hour Billy Joel documentary is long enough. 🥱🫩

You ever actually see someone get so upset that they fainted, like in those stupid old movies?

Haven’t posted a tattoo in a bit! Here’s a samsquanch I did a bit ago!

You ever see a picture of someone, and that is enough to make you squirm ‘cause you hate them that much?

If 100 guys are stupid enough to want to take on a gorilla, just fucking let them lol. Darwin!

Affinity Photo is essentially Photoshop. All the tools are almost the same place too! I don’t know why I held onto that subscription for so long.

MIKE GORMAN @mikegorman.bsky.social · Apr 26

Been over a month being free from Adobe. I have not found a single thing I can’t do design-wise using the Affinity Suite, Procreate and Blocs. I illustrate daily, have made business cards, and built and launched a new website. Glad I made the leap.

It’s endearing when someone discovers a sport they become madly obsessed with, to the point it becomes their entire personality. I was that way too with Muay Thai! Not poking fun!

MIKE GORMAN @mikegorman.bsky.social · Apr 8

Illustrators licensing their work to stock houses killed the illustration industry long before Ai came around…🤷‍♂️

MIKE GORMAN @mikegorman.bsky.social · Apr 1

Another one from last week. I really liked how this turned out!

I think if you like that show, you’d love that movie.

MIKE GORMAN @mikegorman.bsky.social · Mar 30

George Lucas’s first film. It’s amazing, and, that show borrows heavily from it.

MIKE GORMAN @mikegorman.bsky.social · Mar 30

I take it fans of Severance have never seen THX 1138…

Just realized I spelled my own name wrong on every page of my website. Luckily it’s only been that way for about a month 🤫🫤🤦

They sell moonshine at Cumberland Farms now?!

At the risk of suggesting men should bottle emotions: character assassinations of your ex-wife (or soon to be) are best done with a THERAPIST (or at the very least, your BEST friend) not acquaintances…. ok thnx.

The Little Red Hen! I had the absolute pleasure of tattooing this classic illustration by J.P. Miller today. I’ve always loved this era of illustration, and it looks so good on skin!

Sometimes I go on Spotify and click on songs the friends that I’m following are listening to, and I’m like “WTF, really?” But then I’m wondering if my followers do the same and lol at me.
