I want to make it perfectly clear that I don't "create" using Generative AI. I think that S**t is lazy and steals from real artists. This is my Process:

Just a calm day of cleaning and listening to Swans - To Be Kind. A classic of their reunion age. A sound that evolved beyond Soundtracks for the Blind. Man, I respect these guys ability to craft brutal, soul-searching music. M. Gira and the crew are masters.

So today is my first day of putting myself on an artist schedule. Mondays are 2 hours of Comic work, 1 hour of social media, and 1 hour of story research (for the comic). Do any of you creatives out there set up a weekly schedule, and how does it work for you?

I'm excited! My wife and I are going to The World Oddities Expo in Houston.

I miss all the Freaks and Geeks back home, but this may fill the gap until we get back.

Every user gets verified in an effort to fight AI. They are also working really fast. I was verified within an hour. They are doing this as a passion project so it isn't monetized. This is like the good ol' internet of the mid 2000's again!

Bowie overlooking my Displate, Redbubble, and Fine Art America POD uploads - mostly non-exclusive rights, stuff of mine that is over the 2-year licence limit. If you're interested, check out my linktr.ee/umbraluduspr.... Hopefully, stuff you'd buy for Christmas as stocking stuffers.
