won't have em for this weekend, but i've been getting a few more people at my table than I'd like lately asking *very pointedly* if i drew everything myself, so i designed a new sticker this afternoon that will hopefully quell some of those concerns.

#art
an illustrated sticker design in bright colours a "no parking anytime" sign, but half the letters have faded away to read "NO AI ANYTIME" and the no parking symbol has been spray painted to with a dripping red circle crossing out black dripping AI letters

Bluesky has suspended my bro @Gorangligovic.bsky.social, who’s an amazing artist that would always share Palestinian and other mutual aids while speaking against Bluesky’s mods which would delete these accounts.

Fuck Bluesky.

Stop using a studio's entire budget for the year to make one boring movie that gets dumped on Netflix and instead make probably 50 boring movies, 50 bad movies, 50 weird movies, and 50 great movies

From the Days of Mana specials in Nintendo Power: Katsuya Terada's visions of the world of The Secret of Mana, which, like their illustrations for Link's Awakening, lend the game a darker, more mature vibe akin to the artwork you might see in a Wizardry game.
An illustration of three travellers seen from the back, below the gnarled trunks of an immense tree, all done in just a handful of colours: yellow for the grassy hill and sky, two shades of blue for the mountains in the background and the adventurers, and orangey brown for the tree. The Mana Beast, as envisioned by Terada. A monstrous, many-handed dragon-like creature looms over a party of adventurers on a cliff edge, the central character, a tall guy, with a sword raised. An adventuring party struggles along a ruin, one braced against the other, using his sword for support, while a wide-eyed character half out of chamera has a glow over their face. A huge Siberian tiger-like feline, looming over a stepped ornate classical ruin edge.

This is so incredible. You have to see the photos. These workers held the line for THREE YEARS www.publicsource.org/post-gazette...
PITTSBURGH'S Public Source Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh journalists return to their jobs at the Post-Gazette after three years on strike After a court ruling in their favor, long-striking journalists declared victory and returned to a pivotal Southwestern Pennsylvania newsroom. They return as union organizing continues throughout the region. Stephanie Strasburg November 24, 2025 Natalie Duleba, local secretary of the guild, hugs Jon Schleuss, president of the NewsGuild Communications of America, as she hands him the mic. "The first day of this strike, our folks went over across the street and they sat down at a table, and they started talking about that they were going to take care of each other," said Schleuss, acknowledging the guild could not have known how long the path back to work would be.

Little late to the party but RIPLEY (2024) on Netflix is so insanely well-shot. Referencing for everything right now

The camera descends below the waterline. Screenshot from RIPLEY: A black-and-white image of a man sitting in a chair looking at a table in the foreground. The foreground table has an ash tray and tumbler glass and uses deep focus to composite both parts of the image.

Late, but I wanted to jump in on this trend. While I love Fieren, I am deeply inspired by how brave this person was! They went for the hard thing, were curious, made us all rejoice and draw together!

It makes me so happy to see folks gain that artistic curiosity!

So go forth! Rooting for you! 💖
Reddit user SpaceDev1 does fan art of Fieren, in a difficult angle. User is wondering why the angle is kind of weird. Drawing of a silver haired elf looking upwards

The Things We Bury, 2023

What vibrant pieces of self do we bury throughout our lives, and how can we create meaningful connections with those dormant, tender places?

What does it look like to gently coax new life into ourselves?

Opened Twitter for the first time in a while just to dig up this tweet of theirs I adore
Tweet from Jesse Hamm (@Hamm_Tips) reading "Somewhere out there are people who need to hear a story you're uniquely able to tell. Art by others, even better art, won't do; only yours."
