I love being a human artist and creating something never before seen, out of my mind’s eye. I love making every decision with care. I love trying and failing. I love noticing mistakes and fixing them. I love it all.
Digital painting of a sunrise sky: a gradient of pale blue to red through yellow, with a light veil of thin clouds. There is the sun right above the horizon, casting off a bright red glow all around.
We report as we are leaving the night behind: our breath fogs pale between the sun and us, and the sun rings red in the dewy air. It was not supposed to be this cold, but our usual suspect, the humidity, has us hunched up against the slight breeze. Our expert is in a cheery mood.
A graph titled “The Creative Process” showing a cute pumpkin girl going through stages of making something. She starts out high up, “I just had the best idea!!!” and starts sliding down a hill “this isnt as simple as I expected.” She winds up in The Swamp of Despair (two skulls say: “this part sucks! don’t give up!”) She says, “this sucks, I suck. Why am I wasting my time.” She crawls her way out of the swamp “it’s not perfect but I’m going to finish” and crests the final hill, “it’s done??? I lived???” Finally, she walks away from it all, glittering with pride. “This turned out pretty good!”

A photo of a rectangular painting against a white wall. The painting depicts a blue seascape, an island sits in the center of the sea. Behind it, a large white star rises from the horizon, surrounded by a circular double rainbow, the clouds part for the star rising.

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but:
If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.
Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover
He's up for pre-order!! Let's make this guy happen. I've had to see six years worth of terrible bootlegs, i'd love for an official, well-made one to exist!
i am gutted by the population at large so wholly abandoning any effort to protect the most vulnerable members of our society, which includes disabled people, the elderly, and children. we all deserve protection and access to public space amid an airborne pandemic

The monolith monsters threatening to fall over and crush a farm.
The earth from space, a meteor about to hit it
A wide shot of a threatened desert town, the monoliths looming in the distance.
A young girl stands in the shadows of her ruined home.
Watched The Monolith Monsters (1957) yesterday and it blew me away. Alien invasion / giant monster movie where the "monsters" are inanimate rocks from a meteor. Everytime they get wet, they grow into towering monoliths, fall over and shatter, and then the cycle repeats, multiplying. Ingenious.
Dual-color illustration (gold and black) of two owls with stars for heads against a black starry sky, perched on a branch and staring at the viewer.

Two-color gold and teal illustration of a lamb of tartary, with the plant's roots surrounding a sheep skeleton underground. The text reads "despite everything, it's still you." The style is reminiscent of a riso or screenprint.
