I haven't posted in a long time. I've been dealing with some personal stuff and I've been worried about AI, but I'm back. This was part of my thesis and now I'm reworking it. I'll post the final result when I'm done. Are you interested in seeing the progress pics, or just the final painting?

one of the best things about fascists is they tend to be very stupid, so you can hide a lot of your resistance in art, metaphor

don’t be afraid to stop creating

poetry is resistance

art is resistance

stories are resistance

go create
Keep making art. Keep writing your stories. Even if they must exist in secret for a time, they are important - each of them a little act of rebellion.

Most of all, keep on living. If you can muster no other motivation on some days, then do it out of righteous spite for those who want you gone.

I HATE this. Part of the joy of reading is the elegance (or sometimes the crudity) of writing, the flow of language, the words CHOSEN. It gives the bones of a Story its vitality, and now they want to drain the body and leave just a dessicated skeleton. Ugh.
I can’t think of a clever caption for this. It just breaks my fucking heart.

One of the negative byproducts of going to school for art and doing it as a living is that I've forgotten that it's okay if I literally only just draw cats. Like this is fine.

I’m not sure there’s anything you can say about a society that wants to protect kids from Anne Frank’s Diary but won’t protect them from guns.
Texas school district agrees to remove ‘Anne Frank’s Diary,’ ‘Maus,’ ‘The Fixer’ and 670 other books after right-wing group’s complaint - Jewish Telegraphic Agency
The district in the Rio Grande Valley immediately agreed with activists who said the books were "filthy and evil."

I'm a bit low on spoons, so I won't be posting again for awhile.

this is one of my favorite and most frustrating drawings. when I drew it, I was trying to draw "like bill watterson" and make a cartoony t-rex.

In other words, not my "natural style."

I've tried many times, but haven't made another doodle hit the style like this one did.

this one is special 🥹
I heard Jurassic Park turned 30 this week, which makes me older than this dinosaur.

Happy 30th bday JP! 🦖

Seems like Elon is harming Tesla—and its shareholders—to further the delusion that he's good at running Twitter.
