1/9 NEW COMIC - The Inspiration Fairy So this comic took absolutely FOREVER to make. It doesn’t necessarily reflect where I’m at now, I had the idea ages ago, and I just wanted to finish it and close that loop, and get it out there.. and now I can die. Hope you guys like it xx

This scene is perfect. The two screen split in the middle gives the impression of a mirror. Modern Narcissus meeting his greatest fear. Everything is here. The awkward gestures. The flood of Pepsi revealing the character’s obsessive traits. The inability to form a word. Narcissus contemplates in awe what he could have been in a parallel reality, if not for the genetic lottery of life. It’s the moment he realised that this is the energy he feeds off.

@JeffSynthesized I don't understand the question. People make stuff like this without AI. AI is replicating the work of career artists. This only exists because literal humans who are masters of their craft created things like it, and the AI was fed all of it.

RIP Renato Casaro, an Italian artist known for his film posters. He passed away yesterday at the age of 89.

@belarba Thanks man

Hey, anyone know where I can download books..? 🥹❤️

I had a child “diagnosed” with ADHD several years ago. The immediate reaction of the people involved was to prescribe drugs. We refused. Absolutely under no circumstances were we going to let our pre-pubescent child take amphetamines which is what these ADHD drugs are. More generally, I found the diagnosis process shoddy, the availability of resources for my child (tutors, executive function help etc) to be scattered and expensive and the desire of the school to “solve” the problem lazy and reductive (sit alone, go take tests in a separate place, have more time on assignments and feel isolated from peers). It can’t be the case that so many of our kids have ADHD and are then put through this. I find it more plausible that economic incentives drove an entire industry to spring up around an FDA approved drug that, looking back, mostly doesn’t work. People make money diagnosing it, tutoring around it, coaching around it, etc etc This has done decades of damage to kids. Here is a summary from Grok of a great article in the NYT. x.com/i/grok/share/Q…

one of the classic symptoms of ADHD is the ability to focus — but only on what you find interesting. that isn't a pathology, that's a personality, and adderall isn't medicine. it's a drug we use to turn young, thoughtful men into robots.

David Lynch's first art student film project. I filmed this in the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. It's called "Six Men Getting Sick" (1967) & it involves an animated 16mm film loop played onto a 3D plaster cast screen. All of later Lynch is here. The audio mix is great

This will be the most disturbing thing you read today. The Irish government outsourced the care of vulnerable children to an African migrant with a fraud conviction. They paid him €10 million, even after learning about his conviction.
