are pearl eez and tooth dating? Just read the book for the first time and I get such poly vibes from them <3

Yeah, they’re a polycule! I didn’t want to get into romance or sex in the story, so I just left it up to interpretation.

Instead of working, I drew my new D&D character and her four sisters. It’s only a one-shot but I full-ass every RP char I play. They’re brass dragonborns whose family runs a brothel.

Automattic will sign a contract with OpenAI for Midjourney to learn off of Tumblr and Wordpress

Hello! Automattic, Tumblr’s parent company, will sign a contract with OpenAI and Midjourney so Midjourney can learn off of Tumblr’s and WordPress’ art and other user data. :) (The full text of this article is copy/pasted in the cut below). You can opt out! but I truly cannot imagine a more idiotic or out of touch decision on the part of Tumblr’s CEO.

First thing’s first: When/if this goes live, opt out of this immediately. Do this even if you’re not an artist. The more people opt out, the less valuable this contract is to Midjourney. in an ideal world, literally all of the active users would opt out, but if we can even get to 50% that’s pretty delicious.

Second: Contact Tumblr Support. It’s vital that you do this politely. Tumblr staff is not responsible for this decision and the point of doing this is to show the userbase’s unwillingness to be involved in this, not harangue Tumblr staff. (Seriously, stop haranguing Tumblr staff). Here’s a script:

Hi, I’m writing in to express my disappointment in Automattic’s pending contract with OpenAI to sell user data. Midjourney is already embroiled in copyright lawsuits, and it is not possible to train it without compromising copyright, including violating the IP of artists on this site. I strongly protest this contract and will opt out if it goes live. Depending on the privacy terms around what user data is sold to OpenAI and why, it is possible I will leave the platform entirely. Thank you for your time.

Third: Download Glaze and start poisoning them prompts, my friends

Fourth: Stare into the middle distance for a second with me because holy fucking shit? How stupid can one decision be?

I know the print version is done but does Supercakes still exist online? I can't seem to find it on your website any longer!

Oof, good question! I had to revamp my website and I haven’t put my comic links there yet, thanks for the heads up.

sugarquill-slayer asked:

Did you ever draw anything of Viv as a mermaid? I just reread thirsty mermaids and it’s one of my super faves (:

I didn’t! But I thought about it, and I decided she would have a flashy gold tail. Something like a beta fish.

Thirsty Mermaids giveaway!

My latest graphic novel is coming in PAPERBACK! To celebrate, Goodreads is doing a giveaway

Check it out if you interested in messy, outcast mermaids sneaking onto land for booze and wake-up hungover only to realize they are stuck as humans! They have to learn about capitalism and clothes!

Hello! Is there anywhere one can get a copy of Pancakes? I'd like to read it but can't seem to find a copy anywhere. Thanks so much in advance for your help!

I’m afraid not! There was a very limited run on the print version, even I don’t have any left.

AI “art” is not innocuous. It is having real negative impact on the arts. From magazines and book publishers deciding to use AI “art” instead of hiring illustrators, to literary magazines having to close down submissions because they’ve been swamped by AI “stories,” to art contests being won by AI “art,” opportunities for artists to make a living are already being cut, especially for newer, less established artists. Even for me, with a 20 year career and an agent, I’m seeing fewer avenues to paying work. I can’t imagine being 18, wondering if there will be any way to get a job in the arts when every entry level art job will be taken up by AI by the time they’re halfway through art school.

So many AI “artists” have this idea that real artists have had it too good for too long, holding creativity hostage somehow, living easy lives, when most of us have to constantly hustle just to stay regular poor instead of homeless poor, our mental and physical health in rough shape all the time. To work so hard not only to hone our skills but to take on the equally hard second job of chasing down opportunities for work, only to see those opportunities go to someone who told a computer to do all their work for them, who then turns around and says we artists don’t deserve money or even attention… it’s such a slap in the face. It’s such a breathtaking insult added to grievous injury.

It’s not that these people are using AI to *assist* the creation of their work. This isn’t like Photoshop, which is a tool. PS might make some aspects of the work easier or faster, but it’s still a lot of work, a lot of time, a lot of skill. AI does it all for you. AI “artists” are no different from clients who commission me. If a client describes to me in great detail what they want me to draw, and then I draw it, are they somehow the artist? No! Telling it to a computer instead of a person doesn’t change that.

I know AI “art” can be interesting. It’s nifty to see what we’ve taught computers to do. It’s funny to laugh about how many fingers they have. But it’s really having such a huge negative impact on the creative world right now that the drawbacks far outweigh the curiosity of it. I wish I saw more people outside of artist communities thinking about this, caring about this, talking about this.
