Every movie, song, and book that you love was made without the technology that people who don’t make art are now insisting is necessary for making art.

Write the book you would like to see someone pull from a higgledy piggledy pile in a secondhand shop 63 years after your death and say, "This looks fucking weird. I think I will buy it for Joan.”

In person museums and online museum catalogues can be so helpful. I'd give those a shot if you already haven't. I completely understand the frustration.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

I would like propose that they may have been pro art but not always pro artist. If I remember correctly, both Caravaggio and DaVinci spent a good portion in hiding or on the run from popes.

I picked up Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou on a whim and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Hauntingly well written and one of those books you feel grateful to read. Absolutely breathtaking book.

Please share your feedback on how genAI destroys the livelihoods of artists on the official EU website. You can do so even if you're not an EU citizen. We have to be loud so the change will come, and practice shoes that voicing hatred towards genAI works ec.europa.eu/info/law/bet...

Just as a reminder, genAI images and videos aren't bad because they look bad. How close they get to the real thing is irrelevant. The reason they're bad is because ultimately genAI exists to put the creative process itself into the hands of corporations instead of actual creatives.

This one’s my favourite

A reddit post from the Wile E Coyote AMA that says “Hi WEC, I've watched you since I was a child, just wanted to say thank you for running into paintings of tunnels for all those years.”

The replies is a film still of Wile E Coyote smiling and holding a sign that says “Keep art alive”

Finally taking some product photos of the offbeat holiday cards I make each year to see if any local shops will take em on. As hard as the uncertainty of making a living as an artist can be, it is invigorating when you actually pull something together with duct tape and lamps balanced on your legs.

Listen, I took up needle felting and I don't know why anyone would expect anything else from me. The internet has deemed him Jarlaxle "Beanre", though, and all is well.

I got this finished up! :) It was done with watercolors, gouache, acrylic ink and walnut ink.

A watercolor painting of a skeleton wearing very thick and flowing and draping robes with a hood. It is very gently embracing a human figure, who presses their head against the skeleton's chest and shoulder area as though seeking comfort.
