As a graphic designer and illustrator, a lot of people think I hate AI flyers because AI is trying to take my job. Nope. Among a myriad of other reasons, I hate AI because everyone’s own human brain is capable of wondrous creativity, and AI is trying to kill that (and the earth, lol). I also hate AI as a comedian, because it makes comedy shows look like shit.
Click the button below for a list of resources for people who don’t want to use AI. It’s in its infancy, so if you have resources you think I should add to the list, message me!

Free Coloring Pages for Hard Times
For all of those fighting hard for your neighbors, feeling afraid, or just generally needing a moment of calm in the fascist nightmare we’re living in, here’s some free coloring pages. “Pintame Halagado” is a four coloring pages in Spanish (more to come—thanks to my friend Rojo Perez for translations!), the Color Me Flattered big print pack is my regular bundle, and if something upbeat isn’t the right vibe for you right now, the grief coloring page is a little more of a meditation on heartbreak. So much love to everyone who is dealing with the rampant white supremacy that is terrorizing our country. Please feel free to spread these around anywhere as needed, send them to folks, do anything you can if it will boost morale.
New Color Me Flattered: Nature Edition just dropped!
What do a rollerblading rabbit, tumbling tardigrades, and a flower-sniffing sloth all have in common? They are all part of this morale-boosting coloring book!
Inside are twenty-three full page colorable compliments, each paired with a fun fact. From a sparky electric eel to a weightlifting kitten, every character is lovingly drawn by Laura Sanders with an encouraging compliment for you to internalize and enjoy.
