Since I can no longer do commissions I thought I'd share my redbubble; I made it a while ago (before I was on here) and there's not much on it, but I plan to add more soon :]

Uhh hello to the new followers? Have a beautiful river goddess as thanks!

Digital illustration of a woman rising up out of a river, the waves forming a beautiful dress made of water. She looks off screen with an expression of determination and holds a lotus flower in one hand. Behind her is a forest filled with glowing lights.

For no reason at all I’m thinking of an AI bro on here who sneered at Timnit Gebru, saying her only claim to fame was being fired, all because Dr Gebru pointed to the deep roots of eugenics in tech, and the problematic ways Blueskys own engineers talked about eugenics in relation to AI.

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

#SharkTober2025 day 15: cowboy shark !

A watercolor painting. A pink seahorse is wearing reins, which are held by a dwarf lantern shark. The shark is smiling; its head is surrounded by stars and has a cowboy hat falling from it. Beneath these two is "YEE-HAW!" in yellow letters.

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

A work in progress photo of a siren painting. She is partially submerged in water and surrounded by lily pads, skulls and candles. The background is mostly complete.

#SharkTober2025 day 13: shark vs mechashark !

A digital drawing of two anthro sharks battling. The shark closer to the viewer is leaping out of the way of two missles fired from a shoulder canon from the mecha shark, which is farther from the viewer. The shark in front is angry and is wearing pants, as well as wraps around their forearms and tail. The mecha shark has a strong stance and an emotionless smile. The drawing is meant to emulate manga and thus has half-tone shading and speed lines in the background. The title, positioned above the sharks, reads "SHARK -VS- MECHA"

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)

r/SaaS
u/soasme
I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP.

Everyone's busy adding Al to everything.
I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work.
I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything.
Guess what?
I see more registered users and higher retention.
That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better?
Here's my question:
Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

#SharkTober2025 day 11: frutiger aero shark!

A bit late bc I bit off more than I could chew haha

A piece of traditional art. It shows a fake desktop. The top bar says "Frutiger AerOS - Shark" and has a little shark wearing headphones next to a speaker icon surrounded by music notes. The bottom bar contains a recycling bin, file, globe, photo, music note, and paint pallette, as well as the signature for the piece. Overlapping the bottom bar is a little anon model saying "I ❤️ sharks" and a lava lamp. Behind the lamp is a wave, and behind that is a CD with a picture of a mermaid and the text "Sounds of the Sea サナ人魚". Above the lamp are some bubbles, one of which holds a goldfish, and a computer mouse with some water and floating sharks in it. To the left is a robot shark, also filled with water and fish floaties. Behind this shark is a drawing app with doodles of a shark and a fish. To the left of these are three CDs in three colors (yellow, green and blue). Below those is a photo app showing a thresher shark. Around and beside this app are some kelp vines. Between the photo app and bottom bar is a music player app with a fake album, which has an angel shark cover and text that reads "Tiburón de lo..."

One of the main components of Great Hammerheads (Sphyrna mokarran) diet is stingrays. Sometimes they even keep a souvenir. 🤣🦈 Therefore, I submit to you my illustration for #Inktober Day 11: "Sting."
