Matpat is literally about to help make any & all artists feel WAY safer & happier in a time where unregulated tech monopolies are running rampant without pause for human concern.
Things are looking up, artists-- KEEP FIGHTING!!! DON'T GIVE UP!!!
We are now in the SENATE!
After another year of conversations around DC, we have gone bicameral. Steph and I are proud to announce the launch of the Senate Creators Caucus.
Washington is making increasingly consequential decisions about AI, social media, online safety, and the future of creative work. Creators, as the front lines of these issues, should be a voice in those conversations, but historically, we've fallen into the cracks of the system.
Now we have a seat at the table.
More to come soon!

Hay everyone I wasn't planning to setup any special donothan or subathon outside the usual start of the year one, but after my recent surgery some things didn't end up going as expected.
**UPDATE:** So due to seeing my doctor yesterday during follow up, I have been told I will require an additional procedure putting me out of work another 3-6 weeks starting October 6th. While this time I will likely be back to streaming in 1-2 weeks compared to before, the added time out of work has caused me to make an adjustment to the Donothon posted.
So for the month of September I will be running an uncapped and untimed Dandy Donothon to get things back on track and if we hit all the shown goals new ones will absolutely be added!

I spent a total of 648 hours in photoshop working on this. That doesnt even include the absurd amount of research and reference gathering I had to do. I put together a pretty dense collection of the process for all this if you're interested too. A LOT of lessons learned

If you can, please consider donating whether it's $1, $10, or $50 to our legal fund. This will help us seek legal options for both Cara & its artists, and in carrying out necessary legal actions.
Please help us stop scrapers from targeting artists. gofundme.com/f/help-cara-leg…

Cara's story in Forbes: forbes.com/sites/robsalkowit…
"The recent attacks on the artist site Cara, built specifically as a place for artists who do not want their work scraped by AI systems, suggests a deliberate disregard of the principles of consent". 1/

Interesting, because Amazon would have me believing that in order to digitize a book you have to destroy the rare first edition version of it for your AI.
(thank you Internet Archive for archiving our internet and media <3, you are an invaluable resource)
We've been getting a lot of questions lately about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.
Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/…

📚BACK✏️TO 📓SCHOOL ✂️FUNDRAISING! 🖍️
Hey cuties! I know the LAST thing anyone wants to think about in JUNE is going back to school, but we are fundraising! So many teachers at my school have put out wishlists, so I wanted to reach out here and share some of their wants (without doxxing myself 😂). I’m going to set some goal for us to reach, but if we can reach $250 worth of stuff purchased, I’ll wear an inflatable cow costume at Offkai… 👀
Check out my throne for a list of items requested! And thank you for all your help!

Example:
In the shaded front view, it’s unclear whether the light area on the tail is a highlight or white fur. The flat-color side view shows that only the tip is white—the rest is light blue.
