My new normal is being functional about 4 days a week. About 2 days a week I’m aloof. 1 day a week without fail, I am unable to focus at all, immensely overwhelmed, sad/angry. I really miss being a fully functioning artistic human, but tbh, super glad I’m functional at all.

Back when I was 23-24, I did this oil study from a cast of the Nike of Samothrace at an atelier. It took a month and a half, 5 days a week, 3 hours every morning. It was slow and steady work. But rendering it to this stage taught me what it took to take my images to a final!

I’ve been in NDA lands for quite a while now. I’m looking forward to a month or so when I’m able to work on my traditionals on the side once again. I dream of a winter of oils and pencils! Until then, here’s a 2016 drawing. “The Death I Bring”. :)

A fun thing about generative AI discourse is when ai advocates claim aggrieved artists don’t know how the tech works. But when you ask ai advocates how it works, some anthropomorphized nonsense like “It LEaRnS aNd Is InSpIrEd JuSt LiKe YoU” always creeps up. It’s embarrassing.

1/ Begging studios to understand that you need to ensure your third party marketers don’t use Generative AI(GAI) in any way. People are (rightfully) pissed over what would otherwise been an awesome poster, because the GAI background. And yes its 💯 GAI:

The harms of generative ai are not a hypothetical in a future scenario. They are not some terminator sci fi nonsense scenario. The real harms are happening NOW. First coders, artists, writers, performers, musicians, soon everyone else. The time for solidarity and action is NOW!

1. Dear artists, art contests/spec work is an exploitative practice by corporations who just want free art! @sciencecomic has a fantastic comic on why its bad practice, while offering great solutions to you art contest happy companies out there

1/6 Everything that makes the internet feel wonderful and open, where creatives shared their work freely, these wonderful works are now being stolen and extracted by tech execs in a rush to train genAI models that mimic those wonderful creators. It’s disgusting and immoral.

Holy shit, how does instagram just keep getting worse? I can’t even see the art/pictures of folks i follow anymore. Just frustrating UX and non stop reels. Like bruh if I want to get a tik tok like experience, I’ll just use tik tok? 😩

Now THIS is how a company should respond! Quick, affirmative,and standing by the artists who have collaborated to make their products a success! Excited the company also shares the sentiment of their incredible art teams and the artists they collaborate with! Good news overall!
