Decided to write about this: patricknathan.substack.com/p/choking-on...

Choking on the Cloudpatricknathan.substack.com What "AI" tells us is that content pollution isn’t a metaphor at all. Content is pollution, and we’re not only polluting with no consequences, but we’re being invited, on a minute to minute basis, to ...

More of the Big Man, the Diva Divine lol I might have to do a comic for Him

Why are you hiding? 👀🤭 (forgive the quality, I drew this on my phone)

It's my birthday! This means everyone is required to peruse my wares and also share this post 🥳🎂 ko-fi.com/elainemwill/... Here are just a few of said wares -

In an effort to leave Instagram behind as my main art platform, I am reworking my Patreon page to offer more to free subscribers, as well as a free 7-day trial that will give you access to my entire archive for the trial period. I know that this won't work but I'm trying anyway

Can’t decide which version I like better so here’s both

Lol

Anyway hopefully this pixel art app isn’t mining my data or whatever bc it’s really fun and you can compress photos with it

Really super annoying to see an indie comics artist telling people they should be flattered that someone wants to steal their work (or artists in general writing off AI shit like “all art is stealing”) when that is neither the point, nor what is actually occurring

Found a fun pixel app to draw dogs with

Went on my first hike in maybe 2 years(?) I shouldn’t have done the whole loop, but I did

One upside of all this is that I’ve gotten better at drawing on my phone

Light and shadows and fleabane, I think

New blog post: I had a lot of thoughts for a while and I had to write something about it. Making games for free is a luxury. museumofscreens.wordpress.com/2024/06/06/m...

Making games for free is a luxurymuseumofscreens.wordpress.com Hollow Floor Today’s blog post will be a bummer. The Museum of Screens is based on the principle that free web games are special, that there is something beautiful in making games just for personal e...

It does not matter what I think but what I think is this: the video game tv show/movie trend sucks

I made some poem zines out of newspaper and tape for an event yesterday, and am thinking more about creating things intentionally non-digital and non-reproducible

Really curious to learn about the game design of Death Stranding (i.e. integrating online multiplayer elements into a single player game in a way that doesn’t overwhelm; giving and taking away items/abilities to maintain a slower pace of exploration) but I have to finish playing it first

I would love to code an email signature that auto populates a field to say “This email only took me (x) hours to write!”

Phone drawing of my dog while I’m stuck in bed

A frustrating and humiliating thing about chronic back problems is frequently having to tell employers Sorry; I thought I’d be better by now but I’m not

I can always spot one line that I didn’t fix in a comic panel but the catch is that I can’t spot it until after it’s been posted

Posing in the bathroom with some dead flowers bc I needed to update my profile pic from 4(?) yrs ago

I’ve been slowly playing through Death Stranding having very little prior knowledge of what it was about (and never having played a Kojima game), really enjoying it
