Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Guess what

i wanted to try traditional animation for a while and heres a cute little guy inspod by sonnyelim ; 3 and here are the seperate frames as well

I'm still Big Mad from the animation industry AI news, and I had some thoughts I needed to get out. There are lots of more important reasons why artists shouldn't use AI, but here is my philosophical take on it.

as my studio friend Fire & Grace says, mugs are one of the most intimate pieces of pottery that we own. we hold them close. we handle them a lot more than a plate or bowl, and we bring them to our lips.

and hopefully we find moments to relax with them

so it doesn’t matter what kind, or where you got it, so long as you love it. reblog this, or make your own post and tag me in it, either way!

here's my favourite mug

it was wheel thrown for me by Fire & Grace and given to me as greenware, so I could paint and carve it, with a poem by Aaron O’Hanlon. I originally intended this mug to be for @subpar-lemon-bar but it turned into my favourite lol

(and here's the back)

I didn't know how to pull handles yet. The rim isn't smooth. The foot is shallow almost to the point of being non-existent. The kiln didn't reduce properly so the glaze ("purple haze") came out blue instead of purple.

But a potter's very first mug is always a special thing. Nothing beats drinking something from a mug you made yourself. Every sip reminds you that this is something you made. Where there was nothing before, now there is something; and it's currently full of tea; and you're using it. It is both a beautiful piece of artwork and a functional part of your daily life. And a tangible tie back to all the people from the past 30,000 years who also took raw clay out of the ground and formed it into something that made their lives better.

I can't believe this mug is nearly 20 years old now.

I wanna make one of these that is like a literal curtain of worms
