And meanwhile there are other artists doing things like taking their own reference photos and building little maquettes. It also seems pretty dehumanizing to apply human time and skill to repaint an image from a mindless algorithm.

I think duchamp did that kinda. I don't know how he made I living but I distinctly remember hearing at sometime he stopped making art and just wrote about the art he could hypothetically make. Except he was making it, he just bailed on sharing it with anyone 🤣

Packing up and unpacking all my babies for markets is such a fucking nightmare like what do you mean I have lost an entire box of swan figurines somewhere between the door of my house and the studio. Pray for them.

Not to make *everything* about AI but this is a great example of why real art is going to win. Performance enhancing shortcuts won't help if you don't have the discipline to hone your craft. Also AI content, like the enhanced games, is a clown-show for amateurs.

It’s #WorldAIDSDay - Did you know sanitation and barriers are industry standard in tattooing because Cliff Raven, a gay tattooer from Chicago, made sure he could still provide service to his own community as most shops refused to tattoo homosexuals when the AIDS crisis emerged?

Cliff Raven outside Sunset Strip Tattoo in California shortly after buying it from Lyle Tuttle

A screenshot from https://www.luckyfish.com/cliff-raven-in-chicago-2020 reads:

When HIV emerged, studios began refusing homosexual customers, and many gay tattooers left the field. In a letter to Raven, one artist explains feeling relief that police raids closed him down. "I do not fancy working continually with people's BLOOD on my hands in these plague days of anguish and horrible viruses which they... don't know shit about," he says.
His community's palpable anxiety bolstered Raven's commitment to providing a medical-grade sterile environment, and it secured him as a beacon to gay men who wanted ink.
Pat Fish, the last tattooer trained by Raven, recalls him saying three things are necessary to be a good tattoo artist: art, craft, and morals. Part of having morals meant prioritizing clients' health.
"He made me buy an autoclave before he let me buy a tattoo machine," she laughs. This was in 1985. According to her, gloves weren't even industry standard until a doctor led a workshop on it at a tattoo convention in 1986—though Greg James, another tattooer who worked with Raven, says they were slowly becoming common in the early 80s. Raven began wearing them in the late 70s, and he was using an autoclave, the machine hospitals use to sterilize reusable equipment, as early as 1970.

"small business" is such a funny term bc in it you have like a bunch of little gremlin artists fighting over a dollar and then also a guy who owns every tire store in a tri-city area and they are both like "im a small business"

I hate the word "talented." It's an empty idea that obscures effort. I prefer to think some people are born with a "knack." A brain with a knack adapts to certain skillsets faster, but without dedication, knack falters. Many are born with more passion than knack, and passion succeeds every time.
