I got into Gaslands recently and have been having great fun, trying to trashbash as much as possible. Browsing YouTube and I spot @greigarjohnson.bsky.social and @chrislackey.bsky.social making together! Don't know how I missed that originally, but it's given me some excellent ideas. Thank you!
There is much that troubles the human mind, the human spirit, where despair is endless and reputation incapable of repair And @greigarjohnson.bsky.social gives it form with all sorts of scrap. Everything I know about mod podge I learned from him The King in Yellow youtu.be/OuJNUj9Pibw

After watching @greigarjohnson.bsky.social 's last build video I had to find a copy of the Bucky O'Hare GN, which I figured was going to be pricey. I lucked out on fleaBay, got one for under $20 shipped. I don't think it's a repro, if it is it's a nice one! Greig's build video youtu.be/YK0svVNittc

Please please please for the love of god don't fall for the "AI is democratizing creativity and making it more accessible" lie that AI companies have been pushing ever since this shit first started. If you think AI "art" is good for anything besides making tech bros rich you have been fooled
chris@yrpalchris.bsky.social · 6mo agono great artists have ever struggled, a famous thing about artists that we all know. everyone prior to three years ago lived lives of luxury.
![the stupid 'talent is a gatekeeping mechanism' thread that's going around, three posts reading:
tired of having these arguments so i'm gonna lay out the STARK reality of AI for some of you privileged fucks:
1. "talent" is a gatekeeping mechanism that has created a culture of professionalism that is no less of an ivory tower than academia, a moralized proxy for access to time, training, money.
2. being poor means having to make hard choices like:
[a] drawing something yourself in a way society would call "bad" (i.e. unprofessional)
[b] sacrificing resources you don't have to pay a real artist what they're worth (or learn yourself)
[c] not doing it at all, or
[d] using AI.
“just don’t use AI” is a luxury position. when people moralize choices made under scarcity, they’re pretending the menu is the same for everyone. it fucking isn’t.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dei7f7zh74xr3hoghei6ke3d/bafkreig5uei5qn5bkwhgniorhoyesfs73ovo76xwfk2yxprmtnbde4cvp4)

Met the very lovely @greigarjohnson.bsky.social today at Thought Bubble. Been following his stuff for many years (and if you’ve followed me for a while you’ll have seen me banging on about ‘How to Play The Shenanigan’ being my favourite YouTube video)

@greigarjohnson.bsky.social has uploaded 'The Wilds' to his YouTube channel. Urgent family matters pull a craftsperson away from their workshop. A frantic phone call reveals a troubled sibling's return home, demanding immediate attention before nightfall. It's fantastic.

Every single respected actor who does a perfume advert looks like a silly tit.
Was sorting laundry and had a video on of @greigarjohnson.bsky.social making a working prop of the Hitchhikers Guide. Naturally (to me at least) he made a 5min film to show it off, and I was overjoyed to see @tombellforever.bsky.social as Ford. Beaurifully done. Bravo! -Ash youtu.be/-431pDOiYRQ?...

Culturally, I'm a natural fit for YouTube. I know Gen Z will dig my latest ep, in which I make unscripted references to Howard's Way, Glengarry Glen Ross and Duckula.
