Sometimes a sketch is enough. I used to spend hours rendering every detail, thinking that's what made art "real." Then I realized the raw lines had more life than my overworked pieces. What's holding you back from calling it done?

I got tired of sending students to sketchy audio converter sites filled with ads. So I just built one myself. No account needed, no email harvesting, just drag and drop your audio files. Sometimes the thing you want to exist won't exist until you make it. Link in bio if you need it.

I used to announce everything way too early. Told everyone my app was dropping next week. Then the next week. Then crickets. Had to ghost everyone and just build in silence like I was recording an album. No updates, no promises, just work. Dropped it last night with zero fanfare. Link in bio if you want it.

The Paintbrush Hasn’t Changed Much in 500 Years. Here’s Why. The artist’s paintbrush has a surprisingly long history. Early brushes were made thousands of years ago using animal hair, plant fibers, and feathers tied to sticks. Ancient Chinese brush makers refined the craft, creating brushes capable of both delicate detail and expressive marks. By the Renaissance, European artists were using specialized brushes made from hog bristle and fine animal hair, many of the same materials still used today. Despite advances in paint and technology, the basic paintbrush design has remained remarkably consistent for centuries: a handle, a ferrule, and bristles working together to translate an artist’s hand into a mark. Fun fact: Some of the finest detail brushes were traditionally made from the tail hairs of Siberian kolinsky weasels because the hairs naturally return to a sharp point after every stroke. A simple tool with thousands of years of history behind it.

A zombie girl walks past an astronaut. She needs a soda. I made this using Seedance 2.0 generative AI. I am not trying to take anyone's job. I’m not trying to destroy the environment. I am experimenting with this new tool. I'm an independent artist. These generative AI tools let me create a scene I couldn't afford, especially for an experiment.

Let the Claude Fable 5 memes begin! I made one to start you off.

I drew this astronaut on my iPad using Procreate. The dithering effect in the image was created with a Photoshop plugin. No AI was used to create this image. This will soon be available as a physical sticker for sale in my Etsy shop.

As promised here is the alternate version of second scene from yesterday’s short video. I’m making these videos while learning how to use generative AI tools to make films. A young woman finds herself lost on a trail in the high desert. She feels a ghostly presence behind her. A specter appears behind her and says, "Every morning the sun rises without being asked." I made this with Seedance 2.0.

My for you timeline is all Backrooms! I remember looking forward to Kane Pixles dropping a new episode of Backrooms on YouTube. Can't wait to see the movie.

Most people don't realize we're living through the biggest creative revolution in human history. I just told an AI "a man walking, holding a red balloon" and it gave me this video. A full character. Movement. A red balloon floating perfectly. The guy even looks happy, like he genuinely doesn't have a care in the world. Took me 30 seconds. No film crew. No animation software I'd need a degree to understand. No budget. Just a sentence in Grok Imagine and suddenly I'm creating things that would've cost thousands of dollars and weeks of work five years ago. The wild part is how good it's getting. This isn't some janky experimental tech anymore. The physics work. The lighting makes sense. It actually looks like a real moment someone captured. And I can't stop thinking about what this means. Anyone with an idea can now make it real. The kid in rural nowhere with zero resources but massive imagination suddenly has the same tools as Hollywood studios. That's not just cool tech. That's a complete shift in who gets to be a creator.

Whew, I clicked on Creator Studio, and my creator revenue share was gone. Then, with a refresh, it returned. I almost had a heart attack. Lol! Grok made this video of me freaking out.

Robert Capa landed on Omaha Beach with the first waves of Allied troops on D-Day. Not as a soldier. As a photographer, carrying cameras through machine-gun fire. On June 6, 1944, he took some of the most famous war photographs of the Normandy landings. The images are blurred, chaotic, unstable. People later technically called them “bad.” But that’s exactly why they feel real. The motion blur came from panic, water, explosions, and survival. The photographs look like memory under stress. Most of the negatives were also accidentally destroyed in a darkroom accident at LIFE magazine’s London office. Out of more than 100 images, only 11 survived. Those surviving frames became some of the defining visual records of World War II. Capa once said: “If your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” On Omaha Beach, he was closer than almost anyone else with a camera. Here is one of the most famous Capa photos from D-Day on Omaha Beach. The title is Face in the Surf. The photo is in the public domain. upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped…
