It’s true, I do think glass blowing would handle this perfectly

Been working on getting a few new pieces photographed. This speckled clay is what I’ve been working with the most lately, though I’m also working on making a blue glaze I like.

Hmm I’m really thinking I should put some effort into revitalizing this account. All I can show lately is pottery though 😅

I know I'm not on here much, but over the last year I've gotten really interested in pottery! It's been a really great outlet. I hope you'll take a look! acpottery.com

Seriously- and it sums up a lot of feelings about AI quite well.

Just repeating it because some are repeating Microsoft's lies unquestioningly about them having to cut people to save money, etc. Their gaming division was 26 *billion* USD in the black. They had just posted record revenue. They were swimming in money. But Microsoft wants to invest *80bn* in AI.

New from me, on The Guardian (!!): Generative AI is causing new, unusual problems for game developers — people are being accused of using it, even when they say they haven't. Building trust between a studio and its player base is more important than ever. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/j...

A real issue: video game developers are being accused of using AI – even when they aren’t

Generative AI is causing new and unusual problems for developers as players become more sensitive to the use of artificially generated ‘slop’ images

Pieces that paid me $50-$100 are still in print or being resold or repackaged into new products 15+yrs later. Unfortunately most studios use work-for-hire and negotiation room is slim. And sadly AI further is limiting our bargaining power.

I’m not going to call out the game or the art, because I signed the contract- but as my husband has gotten into board games over the last few years, I’ve also gotten a front line seat to seeing how often illustrations get reused .

Anna Christenson @achrisart.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

I’m watching a board game video for a new game, and surprise! Art I did 15yrs ago for an older game is featured in this new game. While I’m flattered, obviously I didn’t get paid for the card I probably got $100 back in the day. Anyway, this a cautionary tale for why work for hire sucks people.

It's been a while since I've done a commission, but I'm delighted to be working again for a musical artist, Marian Tem. It was a real pleasure to work with Marian, who gave me a lot of freedom to interpret his music in an illustration. So many thanks to him for his trust ✨🖤✨ #art #surrealism

A person curled up in on himself, with gilding coming off his body similar to the Kintsugi technique. His head is enveloped in smoke. And the paint seems to be coming off in certain places on the canvas.

1/4 Well look at that. Open Ai and Google outright reject “Opt-Out” models, hell they even reject basic transparency requirements. AI companies demand they get everything, including our Intellectual Property, for free, and without anyone ever being able to tell the companies no.

Don't tell anyone but I think my dream is to make concept art for something that very few people would be interested in buying.

RIMRUNNER (2011) Oil - 18” x 28” A painting in The End of Nature subset of my personal work, which represents humanity as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature provides for them. 1/2

With flowers decorating her long dark hair, a young woman draped in flowing white fabric spreads her arms wide as she dances along the top of a moss covered wall. The narrow path set high in the clouds unwinds like a ribbon, zigzagging left to right and back again. As the path recedes into the distance breaks become larger and more apparent.

It’s been such a heartbreaking thing to witness. Like it’s not just a job, work is often where we form friendships and have a social group, so it’s not just money it’s also is an open hole of connection that has to be filled too.
