started trying out film photography in august, so this is going to be my thread for that!

join me as I figure this stuff out.
analog photo of a ceramic sculpture peeking out between two bushes. it is a stylized head made out of dishware shards and mosaic tiles, with a long teapot spout as its nose, one dangly earring (the ear is a cup handle), and a little ceramic bird on its hat. plants on the side of a path, with the focus on a spindly plant with white flowers.

taking two more rolls of film to the lab tomorrow.

I had one from october that I was very excited about, but because I'm not made of money I decided to send it to a mass processing lab. and they Fucking Destroyed It. I received two little shreds of the negatives and not a single picture. for 5€ :)

Found a delightful recording of Parting Glass with Natalie Holmes that we did back on the Pieces of Eight tour! Longer versions available as permitted by various platforms

got a bit stressed today so i did some ink washes and then got funky with it
three drawings on different pieces of paper. the first is a small rectangle with a green background onto which celtic spiral motifs have been drawn in a blue ink. the second is a page with a green wash on which darker ink has been drawn in a rectangle, but leaving a celtic labyrinth in the middle. the last is a page washed in greens and purples on which a flower, some leaves and a shooting bud are drawn, all with their roots showing two thin rectangular drawings. the first is on a sheet with a light green wash, it has a stylised swan drawn on it, boxed in awkwardly by the confines of the page. the second is is a page washed in blue that has a negative space bird flying upward towards two stars.

something about reds and greens and the interplay of city and nature
film photograph of a curtain of leaves draped over a thick concrete wall, nearly obscuring all of it, except for a corner that has been tagged with various graffiti. the leaves vary spectacularly in color from light and dark green to yellow, bright red, and maroon. a tram station under a bridge closely surrounded - nearly overgrown - by trees and shrubs. graffiti decorates the walls of the station. the silhouettes of waiting people can be just barely made out in the shadow of the bridge. the red metal of the railings and street lights at the station contrasts with the green plants. a railway crossing over a footpath at the edge of a park. the signage has been plastered over with various stickers and graffiti. the railway crossing sign, a parked bicycle, a car in the background, and graffiti on a metal wall behind the tracks all stand out in red against the trees and grass.

after posting those photos to tumblr first I am really feeling the difference in post format (up to 30 pictures per tumblr post with several arrangement options incl. full post width images vs. 4 images on here with significant cropping that makes me reluctant to post more than two at a time)

Gotta say…
Sketchbook comic. Panel 1: a disembodied voice says “I KNOW a.i. is ethically, ecologically and esthetically awful, but I just gotta say…” Lucy is reacting with a ._. Face and thinking “do ya? Do ya really GOTTA?” Panel 2: Lucy’s thought bubble reads: “do you just GOTTA recite some tired anecdote using the phrase ‘I just typed it in!’ That just amounts to you admitting that your cheapness, laziness and poor taste outweighs your unexamined ethical code?” Sketchbook comic page 2: Panel 1: Lucy’s thought bubble reads “and, at the very least, do you GOTTA say it to ME?” She is turning away, saying “ok I’m gonna go, um, get a snack.” Panel 2: another disembodied voice is saying “Lucy! You’re an artist— whattaya think about a.i? Ya know, it may be bad, but I JUST GOTTA SAY…” Lucy is startled, dropping a chip. Sketchbook comic page 3: Panel 1: Lucy is surrounded by speech bubbles and text, repeating the phrase “gotta say…” she looks terrified. Panel 2: she is fleeing the repeated “gotta say”s, yelling “you gotta live with yourselves, but I don’t gotta!” A note with a heart at the end reads “stop doing this I will not absolve you.”

i remain HAUNTED by ben talking about how things would’ve been different for zolf if she’d have come back… somewhere they are napping together and making up for a few thousand lost years

ID: a digital sketch of sasha and zolf, curled up together and taking a nap. zolf is sat facing the viewer, hand on his belly with sasha curled up to the left of him, her head resting on his chest as she sleeps with her leg bent and tucked under her. zolf has one hand resting gently on sasha’s head, his other rests on his belly. sasha has a blanket over her, her left hand, which is missing the ring finger, is holding it around her shoulders, and her right hand has fallen away from her body slightly to rest on zolf’s lap. her index finger is outstretched slightly as if to double check he’s still here. the line work is dark red with some brighter spots, and they have blush faintly drawn in their hands and faces. above them are three scribbled stars. end ID

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.

Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.

"She probably doesn't mean me"

I do.

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;

most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

well, we do. so fuck off.

at this point, after not drawing for nearly a year even though I used to be a Guy Who Draws, and knowing that over the years I have gotten into 3D art and animation and cooking and photography and bookbinding and sewing and cross stitch and embroidery and crochet and whittling and now papermaking -

I have a long weekend off and thought about this box of books in my basement that I am never going to read again, but neither want to put back into the world by reselling, nor want to just trash, because this is personal and I can do better.

so join me for a little craft project. 🧵

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."
