CHINGA LA MIGRA ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ’ฅ risograph prints will be with me at SPX on some kind of sliding scale, with sales donated to the Florida Immigrant Coalition, a coalition of advocacy groups across the state, and CASA, a group active here in Maryland as well as Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Ah, there's nothing like waking up to see a post from a past client where they've used AI instead of a real artist. I shouldn't look at Instagram in the morning.
RIP Graham Greene. I've never seen Dances With Wolves, I guess it won 6 Oscars. What didn't win six Oscars was Clearcut, but god damn is that a fascinating movie with an eerie performance from him. He goes from hilarious to scary just like that, and oh boy that de-barking scene. GO WATCH IT NOW!!!

You know the drill:

- present yourself (optional)
- show your art (obviously... ๐Ÿ˜…)
- no NSFW please (artistic nudity/erotica is allowed)
- have fun!
Late here because I'm on vacation! But thanks so much for the tag. I'm Ven, illustrator and concept artist, and here are couple of my Excision album arts:
I got my copy of Bad Space Comics!!!!!!
Take good care of her for me ๐Ÿฅน I moved away last year.

Stop using generative AI. There is no legitimate use of generative AI. There is no โ€œI hate AI but this is okโ€. Not everyone is using it. We do not have to โ€œget used to it or be left behind.โ€ Just donโ€™t. Just stop. Delete the app. Close your account. Save some money. Take the first step.

I was like "haha 20 years ago" and then was like...oh yeah that's when I started digital art too! The years fly by! Cool stuff...
Welp, that's an instant follow
Congrats on the 3k! Posting a few pieces that I hope are creepy but a little pretty too.

reminder that every print ordered from my shop is made, proofed, and hand signed by me personally and never dropshipped from some anonymous print factory farm <3

Just watched that on Sunday. Ooph. Tough watch but good.
I started learning some After Effects around 2019, and now use it pretty regularly to (among other things) make visualizers out of my album art on Subsidia. Here's a fun one: youtu.be/ergI7kIUwOs?...
