Hi friends!

This is a very exciting step for me--I've decided to start a Patreon! My dream rn is to get to place where I feel more comfortable scaling back and eventually leaving my current job (a far off goal for certain).

This will give me the opportunity and the motivation to center art more in my life. Any support would mean the world to me! Even just rbing. <3

Starting in March there will be two fan art polls a month-> one sfw and one... not. LOL. I also am going to shift to devoting more time and energy to comics, the full releases of which will be limited to Patreon for the foreseeable future.

Okay thank you for your attention hehe.

CHECK IT OUT!!! MWAH.

What is this about the tumblr staff wanting to sell art data to midjourney?

An ex-colleague of mine mentioned yesterday that there may be contacts between Automattic and midjourney in that direction, but nothing is public yet and I don't have any more info. They probably won't have anything specific to share either, since they left the company weeks ago too. That being said:

I have no reason to doubt my ex-coworker word, they are a trustworthy person.

Tumblr's CEO has been absurdly enthusiastic (comically, even) about AI, and is a big fan of LLMs and 'AI' companies.

A deal with midjourney could solve tumblr financial issues (not the same company, but openAi is paying up to 5 million/year to news companies to use their content as training data... tumblr generates several orders of magnitude more content than any newspaper or any media company and it only would need a 20 to 30 million per year deal to be profitable)

So I don't have any extra info yet, but I'm keeping my ears open.
