Procreate speed paint. A fragment of the larger original piece on the right. This took 3 and a half hours. Everything always takes way longer than expected or looks buttttt i learn so much! I have gone back to loving the large airbrush again.
In highschool i had a science teacher who would get upset if anyone would crumple a piece of paper. She said it was noise pollution and would make you uncrumple the paper ball. I always think about her when i am drawing. I imagine her rage at the pixel pollution created from the push and pull of the paint. 🧹
Procreate paint practice/study of French knight Pierre Terrail. Referred to as “the last true Knight”. Painted by Henri-Félix Philippoteax, 1839. This just a tiny portion of the painting. It is epic. Mine is super messy up close. I am finding that working with oil paints has changed how I am working with digital. Less pressure to be tidy. Glad the art world changed. Totally freeing to be more human

Grateful Maria Bambina found a home! Thank you always @ShowdeerArt for being such a wonderful supporter of my art, means so much to me! ❤️🔥
"Hosted permanently at mariabambina.ar.io, this piece is anchored to Arweave so that the art and its instructions remain addressable long after platforms shift or disappear."
Maria Bambina is a digital relic exploring the mechanics of preservation. Inspired by traditional Catholic devotion to the incorruptible infant Mary, this work defies decay in a decentralized infrastructure. Maria Bambina utilizes Slow-Scan (SSTV) protocol to encode the art directly into audible frequency tones that can be decoded without use of the internet, ensuring unalterable data. read more about a lot of things at my website, bye!

Feels pretty crummy to see who is scraping your website for art. I have tried opting out of things but it is not possible. I saw an interview where Grimes said every artist had the opportunity to opt out of data scraping but I never got the memo and I cannot find a way to get another opportunity. Grimes did you tweet about it back when you were making nfts - maybe you warned us? anyways its yuck. I know its happening to everyone, but still feels like being punched in the face. I hope you enjoyed my portfolio meta yeti.
I do know where I live there are rules through PIPA about this stuff and they successfully challenged OpenAi about this and they had to retire the GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models because were trained on the scraped data.

The secret history of Team X revealed! Turns out that Omega Red has an old score to settle with Wolverine, Sabretooth and Maverick. But will Mojo and Fenris stop them all for good?

A diehard @pokemon fan has claimed a curious record title for the highest price paid for a videogame likeness corn snack after spending $87,840 on a single Cheeto!
Featuring the fiery dragon’s distinct wings and tail, the 3 in (8 cm) long chip was mounted on a custom Pokemon card bearing the Cheetozard name, and was enclosed in a special translucent box just in case any viewers get a little too hungry.
Cheetozard first went viral back in 2024, when the store 1st & Goal Collectibles posted a photo of their find, which they acquired and preserved sometime between 2018-2022.
Reportedly, the owner Paul Bartlett found the Cheeto on eBay and purchased it for $350, so the Pokémon Cheeto's performance at auction brought in a pretty penny.
Cheetozard is featured in the #GWRgamers 2026 book.
