“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Concept art of Rosalind Lutece's wardrobe and outfit construction from Bioshock Infinite, drawn by Claire Hummel

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-"

wrong

I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI

get good

Feeling mischievous? This took like 5 seconds to do. 😈

heh ty! me toooooo

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Totally missed this pic of my pure glee when I first walked up to them

Nah man the wings are cool!! The backs of tiger’s ears are meant to look like eyes too.
It unsettles me that from far away they’re like ooo pretty and then they land on you and you see their buggy face and body and legs. Sheesh talk about gaslighting.
Yeah, I said it. BUTTERFLIES ARE GASLIGHTERS.

P.S. We were yelling from separate rooms and I just realized all the windows are open.

Sorry neighbors!!!! 🤣

This sparked an “argument” (heavy quotes) with @jonnynero.bsky.social about moths vs butterflies.

Look I dunno why, all I know is that moths and butterflies are equally terrifying to me!

I blame that one episode of SpongeBob.

MIT Backs Away From Paper Claiming Scientists Make More Discoveries with AI The retracted paper had impressed a Nobel Prize winner in economics.

This should get WIDE circulation:
MIT stating that it “has no confidence in the provenance, reliability or validity of the data and has no confidence in the veracity of the research contained in the paper.”

Tumblr poll from “lesbianalism” Do you think you could take a werewolf? Yes: 70.6% No: 29.4% In a fight? Yes: 8.1% No: 91.9% Final results from 35,878 votes

Allow me to share one of my favorite tumblr polls of all time

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

I was *this* close to buying it

Beetlejuice (from the animated series) drawn with neon gel pens on a black post-it. He’s smiling at the camera with a sultry look in his eyes, tongue hanging out, while he pulls his tie off. Cue the saxophone music.

Up to something 😈

HOW DARE YOU

ALSO I LOVE YOU

A sloppy drawing of Beetlejuice done with neon gel pens on a black post-it. He is slumped over looking tired and done with everything.

So, I have severe “just right” OCD and just started seeing a specialist. We’re doing exposure therapy.

Step 1: I have to post more shitty art on here.

(By “shitty” I mean “doesn’t meet my IMPOSSIBLY HIGH standards I set for myself”.)

Anyway here you go. I hate this :)

Without downloading new pics, describe your gender

I did a homage to this one once for my Anarchist Coloring Book (which is available for just $2 at alterici.gumroad.com) :)

I cannot stress enough how much I love this kind, passionate, talented, funny, absolutely fucking amazing human being.

A selfie of me with my left eyebrow freshly pierced. I have straight dark purple hair and cat eye glasses.

Got my eyebrow re-pierced! Fingers crossed it won’t reject again.

Damn you.

BRING IT. 😎🥰

Don’t expose me like this!!!!!!

Beetlejuice from the animated series drawn with neon gel pens on a black post-it. He is leaning on one hand and smiling dreamily. He has hearts in his eyes.

The same drawing as previous but under violet light. The colors are much more vibrant.

Swoooooon
