The train ride wasn’t as smooth as I would have liked, so I took a photo on my phone, sent it to my iPad, and did a loose squiggly sketch of some “Herzog” boxcars we passed.
The city’s annual art exhibition is afoot! This year we go to the city’s pollinator sites and make art about them. It’s for the butterflies or the bees, I can’t remember. I biked out to my closest site and had the best time doing this today. I made these extremely piss poor pixel sketches while cars were whipping past me and a cop was watching. I couldn’t see my iPad from the sun. Still did it tho. #art#kentucky#pixelart
An artist-run, anti-AI social platform called Cara has grown from 40,000 to 650,000 users in just a week, as artists leave Instagram in their thousands to protest against Meta’s AI policies.

A social app for creatives, Cara grew from 40k to 650k users in a week because artists are fed up with Meta’s AI policies
"On Wednesday, Zhang opened her email to find a horrible shock: her bill for using Vercel, a web hosting company, would cost $96,280 for the last week."
The CD City, as a sci-fi city, took some inspiration from Blade Runner; Large billboard screen showing a giant face, and the blimp carrying more advertising.
Again, that face was a challenge in itself; it's small enough to fit on your smallest fingernail.
