Reposted by George BletsisGeorge Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 25/09/2023Anyone else have a painting they couldn’t be bothered to finish, but occasionally do little 15-20 min stints on it to get into the groove before working on something else? Mine is this study of a Gundam on my desk 011

George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 13/09/2023I’m doing the same, if that’s any consolation. I even sent myself a ‘test’ email from another account, convinced my work account was broken 😳 010
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 13/09/2023Same! Twitter was a big source of work, but it now totally hides me from everyone. I think all this AI nonsense has a big part to play too. 130
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 13/09/2023Hi Brian, would love the opportunity to work together! monstertree.co.uk 090
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 05/09/2023Yeah it’s not clear at all. I’ve seen some people use them (but they don’t turn blue like on a certain other site) and some people putting tags in parentheses for some reason! 100
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 05/09/2023Do hashtags work here? Wondering how to reach a wider audience 120
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 05/09/2023Exactly. Try and explain this to them and there will always be some form of mental gymnastics to justify it. Sickening really. 120
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 05/09/2023Hah, same! A lot of people I speak to though say something like “can’t you be the one that does the AI” so I don’t even think the majority of people know that people are being replaced and stolen from. 040
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 05/09/2023And those not speaking up for artists now are in for a shock when AI becomes so mainstream that it comes for their office job. 260
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 05/09/2023100% And when you try and explain that you just want to make money from a craft you’ve invested so much time into, you’re met with “You’re just annoyed you can’t gatekeep creativity anymore” Honestly shocked at how many people silently resented artists. 1150
Reposted by George BletsisBree Lundberg @breelundberg.com · 01/09/2023The convos around the copyright/AI situation shows how lots of people love art but hate artists. You want to consume what we make, but not for us to have any ownership over it. The reality is we live in a capitalist society; we have to protect what we create or we can’t support creative livelihoods. 10586159
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 30/08/2023Yep, exactly how it felt for me too. I then started floundering and making deliberately different work because I was convinced everyone was bored of seeing the ‘same’ thing from me. It honestly took way too much of my time, and quite a toll on my creativity and mental health if I’m being honest 020
George Bletsis @geeblets.bsky.social · 29/08/2023You’re not alone. At first it hit me in my confidence, and I started thinking I don’t make good stuff anymore, no one likes my stuff anymore etc. Now it’s hitting me in my wallet, and I’m just not getting the eyes on my stuff, and consequently struggling for work. Don’t know what to do tbh! 1100
