LAST CALL! 🎉

Gonna pack the last orders of the year tomorrow! My shop will then close until January 2026.

Photo of a fold enamel pin on a backing card. The pin has a flower shape with a blue stylized ribbons on the bottom. The words "No. 1 GenAI hater" are written in blue in the center of the flower shape. Photo of an enamel pin. It's a grey cat wearing a beret, a vest and shorts. She's covered in yellow, red and blue paint splatters and poses in a wide angry stance, holding up a paint brush in her right hand and a paint palette in her left hand. Photo of a sticker showing a fat white cat giving a thumbs up. The cat is decorated with several crooked yellow stars, that have "You tried" written in their center. Photo of a wood magnet. The design looks similiar to Microsoft Word's mascot Clippy, but with cat ears.

Some advice from a couple of years ago that I still think most creative people need to hear --
Don't put down your own work. Plenty of people want to devalue you and the things you Make. Don't help them do it.

in 2026 i would love to see cartoonists collectively let go of the resentment that "comics take years to make and moments to read." 🙏 the contrast in time creating vs time experiencing is true of all art. why complain that someone read your work? Chill out and enjoy meeting a reader on the page.

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Next #alteredtcg token illustration! My DnD-OC as a recruit. The labyrinth theme fits our early campaign setting perfectly.
A red haired lady in an Altered recruit uniform with a food bowl and flying glow bugs, a warm light on her face, the surroundings are a grey labyrinth wall and a broken sitting bench.

This whole section really.
Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
