Done with this place. Come find me in the non-fascist corners of the internet.

So the internet has come full circle, and I'm returning to travel blogging. I'm tired for short-form thought. 🤪 If you'd like to follow along, by all means—come subscribe away with me... Dodoland Dispatch! open.substack.com/pub/mesaschuma…

Last year I licensed some art for the cover of John Vercher's new novel Devil is Fine. Well it finally made it's way to the top of my reading pile and—so good! Beautiful novel. Highly suggest. Proud to have my jellies swimming across the cover. #bookcover #illustration #books

The #platypus gods have been most kind - this little lady showed up within a minute of me arriving at her creek outside #Hobart today. Literally the greatest species that has ever evolved. #MammalWatching #WildOz #platypuses #Tasmania

@The_Intima An honor to be included in the dialog of narrative medicine!

For those making a decision -- about any kind of health issue -- this #graphicmedicine piece by @mesabree gives you time and space to reflect on the choices you make. Thank you, Mesa for your brilliant work; it's an honor to publish this single chapter. #MedTwitter

@Originals_in Thanks for your thoughts! I'll have another look at the feet, I do sometimes make mistakes on this set, as I'm not working closely with experts, and moving quickly! :)

@DianeMittler @HeatherCashman @StormLiterary @JanelCaverly @SharonSivinski @lauriegoodluck @SCBWINewMexico @waywordwriters @MindyAlyseWeiss @12x12Challenge @diversebooks You rockstar! I can't wait to see your work go out into the world!

@pizawL Some clients always did this to some extent, but now they have tools to execute their misdirected vision of things, and it is harder to argue for why there are better ideas... I feel like they just get fixated on a single image, then all other ideas are doomed to fail.

@mesabree That sounds awful. I wonder if they could even articulate why what they’re suggesting would meet their own needs better.

AI is ruining my work. Clients now come and say "make this picture, but a different style that destroys the all details of the original medium, but also the same..." and I try repeatedly to explain why that isn't possible instead of making good art. It closes all creative doors.

@domenicpennetta Thanks! Hoopoes are some of my all-time favorites! (Admittedly a long list.)

@mesabree Beautifully drawn Mesa! I love the translucency in the wings.
