Happy birthday, Grafit, and thank so much for the free resources! I'm also tickled to see one of my community picks (from the excellent Steel Lady pack) in the roundup. Cheers! (Also attaching the censored pack image for those who don't want to clickthru for artistic nudity.)

An Art Community story to keep up with. The anti-genAI artist community, Cara, has been scraped, but is now working with one of the scrapers to create new tools. Cara is also currently raising money for a legal fund to protect its community. Reaching a large outlet like WIRED is very encouraging!

He Scraped All of Their Art for AI. Now He’s Collaborating on a Tool to Help Them

The art portfolio platform Cara, designed for creators who don’t want their work used to train AI, has been under assault by trolls seizing and publishing its data.

Very impressed with the Gold & Silver paint pens from the ARTISTRO brand! I usually run out of my paint pens while signing prints. PROS - Crisp fine lines that aren't goopy - Quick drying - Sticks to coated paper - Very opaque on black & white paper CONS - Not v shiny, but a decent semi-metallic

A photo of the paint pens writing on an art print on semi-gloss photo paper. The art is by me, which you can see more of at angelasasser.com

Oh this is neat! I use DaVinci Resolve already for video editing. I wonder if it can beat the depth of Photoshop's Camera Raw settings. If it's anything like the color grading options for vid, feels like it should come close!

Did DaVinci Resolve just kill Lightroom with its new photo editing tools?

This speech encapsulates so many thoughts I've had trouble explaining to my AI-curious friends & family. Whether it's destructive to the environment or not (it is), whether it is based on stealing or not (it is), it also robs you of the opportunity to learn through the experience of creation.

Luckily, I've gotten much better at this lately!

A three panel comic titled "Portion control". A person is looking at art online. At first they are motivated "That's some interesting art... Maybe I should try that too?" They keep looking at more art and feel motivated: "Wow!! These artists are so good! I can't wait to go practise so I can catch up!". As they look at even more art, they get overwhelmed: "They're so many... Why am I even trying...?"
