My Bio
The art and ramblings of a disillusioned idealist.

I'm a digital artist, graphic novelist, and UC Berkeley grad with a focus on environmentalism and cyber activism.
I've illustrated and authored numerous graphic novels and plushed a few books. I'm currently working on the Axent Wear cat ear headphones that I designed.

When I'm not drawing away or dealing with the unpleasant business side of running a headphones company, I enjoy sculpting, hiking, and experimenting with aquaponics.

A shame you use AI despite having drawn some beautiful art in the past.


AI is theft and plagiarism. There should be no reason you should be using it.

Their art is actually legit. They've been on this site since 2003 posting quality artwork long before AI art was even conceived.

No, it's been proven by many that she uses AI and actively supports it on MANY platforms.


And many of us have lost respect for her; there should be NO REASON for you to turn to generative AI.


NONE.

True or Wrong, IA is a tool that you will need to learn to use, as photoshop or any software.

We know she has good art anyway. Support or don't, as you want, but IA will exists anyway and new people will appears with wonderful work.

Hello! It is NICE to meet you.

Hello! Are you an anime/manga fan? Are you a fan of Super Smash Bros.?

You are so talented why are you using AI? It's an artist killer. And I am very disappointed.
