Glaze 2.2 is out. It is an update for Windows users to support recent NVidia GPUs (including 50xx GPUs). Downloads at: glaze.cs.uchicago.edu Mac users do not need to update. We are also updating Nightshade to fix the True bug and also support new GPUs. That update is coming in the next few days.

Fun times in northern Colorado today. 70-80mph wind gusts. Trees are down. Semis are flipped over. Buildings are getting damaged. Power is out at my place and the wind is only going to get stronger into the evening.

generative AI has become widely available in the summer of 2022 and entered mainstream in 2023 people are working themselves up in a frenzy, convinced they're utterly helpless without software younger than still-fresh canned tuna. we have been making art for at least 50,000 years, get a grip

Just write and draw what you love, regardless of what's popular. Don't try to catch or ride trends. It takes too damn long to make comics, and by the time you've finished the 10th page, everything's given way to the newest trend.

I'm obviously really good at creatures, but I really think I'm pretty solid at acting and subtle expressions when I'm doing narrative work (comics/storyboards) I've been told I have a really good sense for pacing too---all of this being stuff that exists only in private wips or NDA form 💔

I got this spider plant from Tom Lyle and his wife while I was at SCAD. I watched his pets/plants often and asked for a cutting. It almost died this year bcuz of my life turmoil, but I put it in my fishtank and it slowly came back. Lyle was an amazing artist and a great teacher, I miss him so much

Saw some stats for my area that only about 30-44% of active voters actually take part in the small elections (just ballot issues for us this time). I've heard variations of this kind of data all over the country for years, and it still blows my mind how few people actually vote.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

i struggle with a brain that wants to stiffly copy whatever reference i'm using and one thing i've found helpful:
1. draw big blocky shapes over the reference
2. turn off ref and redraw big blocky shapes
3. draw in figure with big blocky shapes overlaid

in a separate window ive redrawn the red blocks, then have drawn details over the red blocks, using the photo+red transparency as reference

Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.
