Good to hear! Vertigo is no fun. I have dizzy spells as well and it's a frightening experience. Bodies are so miraculous and so terribly designed.

Could use an extra boost today. My grandma is in the hospital. She helped raise me and taught me so much about being a professional artist (she was a professional illustrator). Who are the inspirations in your life? I'd love to hear about them.

Your life is getting harder and costlier because of the oligarchs, not trans people"

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing.
These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say:
If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:
Let me emphasize this. Without your support, Nechromia doesn't exist. If Netflix loses a subscriber it doesn't make a difference, but $15 a month to me, is like, real food in the table.
I know itβs difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you canβt Do The Work when youβre starving.
As a about to be 36-year-old woman I can say that my art is so much better than it was when I was at my peak and "famous" at 21-29. I do miss the fans and the privileges though, it's funny how fast those things go away when contracts end. It's certainly been difficult starting over
What's wild about that statement is that those of us that did get a big break in our 20s end up restarting later. It's almost harder because the audience you get only wants one thing from you.
I got my big break at 21 and it lasted till 29. Now I'm 35 and have had to start over. It sucks.
Would love to do art for that. I've been in several anthology's but none so eruptive. It could be quite the incendiary collection.

Best movie I've seen in years. Seriously, go see "Good luck, Have fun. Don't die" it was a really brilliant way to talk about AI, future tech and our addiction to social media. Sam Rockwell is amazing as always.

Absolutely gorgeous!
Because it's not something to be calm about. Solidarity
Minneapolis (and Minnesota) will be changed by this, I just hope it's the good parts that linger the longest and that they outshine the trauma.
A handsome man dances with a beautiful woman. He is wearing a skull mask and an ornate suit with a skeletal design. He's looking intently and the woman as he dips her back, his eyes are glowing blue. She is leaning her head back like she is unconscious or in ecstasy. Her dress is pink and flowing, her hair, red and falling back. Behind them there are blue and red flames.
My latest painting "The Last Waltz", inspired by the theme "Beyond the Veil" and the 1919 poster A Dance of Death.
I've been really into #romantasybooks and wanted play into that with the theme.

π thanks. It's really scary here
It's really hard to focus on making art here in MN. It's also very strange thinking,"I have a deadline, oh also*gestures at everything around*"
How are y'all coping?

A woman in ornate plate armor praying. Light is shining down on her from above. Her walnut dark skin is covered in shimmering crystals. Her purple eyes reverent, looking above her. She holds the pummel of her sword in her hands.
Don't mind if I do. This is my DnD character Iris, she's an earth genasi and a Paladin. Here she is doing a smite in all her crystal glory.

A photo of an ipad showing a WIP art piece with pixeled beads, and geranium flowers. The text in the middle reads "genAI is for losers".
It's giving Lisa Frank, but I also snuck in geraniums because they stand for stupidity π
