the continuing censorship of sexual content on the internet while the elite class still gets to use banks and credit cards when doing horrible things to children makes it obvious it’s about who has the money, power, and control, and not protecting anyone.
So unnecessarily rude
Illustration of a fat bearded mage riding a scooter wearing a pink hat and backpack full of groceries. He's standing by and looking at an ancient ruined statue of a wizard that's now converted into a foothold for a streetlamp. There are a couple of small souther-European looking buildings in the background, one is an old hotel that has a dim light coming through the entrance door. The whole scene is framed by the colours of the dusk.

Furry Feral Friday? Flashback to this classic of the OJ canon. One of the first pieces I made under this pseudonym, I still think it holds up. octoberjoe.myshopify.com/products/twi...
Four colour photos in dark studio environment. In all a flowering branch of plum is in a glass vase on the ground, quite still. I am in all the pictures, moving a little or a lot. In this one, I'm kneeling left of the plum, moving mostly my upper body. You see the trails of where my hands were as a result of the long exposure.
Getting up from kneeling next to the branch.
Sitting more still next to the branch, pointing upward with my left hand, my right hand holding the camera remote.
Standing up from a fully kneeling position.

Hi honey how's Boston?
It is quite pretty. I watched a comparison video just to see and I don't think I would have noticed the difference.
A very Happy Birthday to Pablo from

Digital illustration split into two panels. The top panel is a close up of a gay male couple kissing, facing opposite directions. The one above has a hand gently holding the one underneath's throat. The man above has longer dark hair and tan skin, while the man underneath is paler with red hair and a beard. The bottom panel is of the ginger man, laying on his front being pinned by the arms of his partner. His head is turned to face the viewer, mouth open as he grips the sheets beneath him. The background is a red orange color, surrounded with a black spikey frame. There is a yarrow flower in the center of the image, separating the two panels.

Sunday Morning (2025)☀️
Those quiet little moments, when everything feels just right.
Four BW environmental shots (hotel room). 1. Close up face. Looking at us with a neutral but intense expression.
2. Shirtless, head and shoulders, looking to the side about to say something.
3. Sternum length, shirtless, arms locked in front of him, pulling them apart. Stern expression.
4. Looking at us sideways past his raised arm.

Body positioning is subject to inverse quantum rules: unobserved it is free to exist in a single state, but upon observation it breaks into a waveform of all potential positions which causes errors in the classical physics software installed in our brainputers.
Congrats on the engagement!
The background image is a colour shot of Multnomah falls. Layered onto it in negative is the composite image of Van in the next frame ->
A layered BW image of Van squatting next to the wall, his arms many times multiplied and going from his face to his knees.
A single frame from the previous image.
Exegesis 03. At the end of 2008 I did a series of composites using Eadweard-Muybridge-like stop motion series and layering them together. Here's the finished image and some process shots. The model is Van, 2008 12, Toronto.

Sandy paws, happy claws, life's a beach
...What would you lick first ?
AI impoverishes us at every step of the process: - data centers pollute our environment - energy use drives up costs - content theft robs creators of income - the actual output is used to displace workers and depress wages - using it harms our mental health and impairs our competence - the flood of AI slop is damaging our sociopolitical landscape All in service of making a worse product - and world - to enrich a handful of already spectacularly wealthy people
While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI:
At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.
