I'll be leaning into a weekly newsletter as social media is less effective delivering info to the the people who want it.
I just sent out one today. I won't be abusing anyone's inbox - just one email a week. If you want to know about projects, art sales, and cool stuff

I've been around long enough to not trust any social media company, so that's why I censor every piece I post here as necessary, so it's galling when @moderation.bsky.app labels everything as explicit adult sexual content. Just another reason to not trust

In case you aren’t aware, any video you see with the label “Sora” is A.I. generated. It’s fake.

Do NOT make or share #AI videos. It contributes to misinformation, and to a larger culture of disrespect for truth and disregard of reality.

Plus it enriches capitalist techbros raping the planet.

October is usually an all-spooky movie month, but now I just want to watch a pile of John Hughes movies with Canada's greatest comedic export.

I expect a number of the witches would be big fans of various manga and anime. From Witch Hat Atelier to KIKI'S DELIVERY SERVICE, there are plenty of things to choose from, so here's a little kawai pose from one of the Coven members.

I think if I ever have custom windows made, a pentacle will be a mandatory addition.

Low angle perspective is a great visual storytelling tool. Reminds me of THE FABLEMANS where David Lynch, as director John Ford, explains how horizon placement creates interest. So, hopefully, this low horizon captures your interest.

If he did something as bad as speak the truth about a right wing monster, I suspect retailers could have gotten refunds for those issues

I'll do more flying pictures later, but it'd be too easy to keep drawing airborne witches and have them dominate the rest of the month.
