I really am the type to hang on to a website with my fingernails until absolutely impossible and take a whole lot of horrible changes in stride, and I really don't like "i'm LEAVING!!!" posts - I tend to just stop posting instead. But I wanted to give a final little notice that I don't think I'll be sticking around here at all anymore, because I've been here so long it feels strange not to. I went to upload something today, and just... the inundation of AI everywhere on the site, they've paywalled GALLERY FOLDERS and gotten rid of categories, I can't restrict who can full size download my art anymore?! like... this is so fucking untenable for artists it's really, really, really disappointing. so, yeah, that's it, man. I took it about as long as I could. you can find me on twitter, toyhouse, and bluesky as surli, for as long as those last, I guess. tumblr is surlifen. here's an art and oc discord server I own: https://discord.gg/qAuSc5zP6S I try to keep it active and cozy in there!
