Fish stockists in the UK are now using AI to "enhance" the photos of the fish and are basically turning them into hideous monsters 😱🤢
It is so lovely to see the actual physical brush strokes made by real artists, both digitally and traditionally. AI may be able to showcase someone's creative mind and their ideas, but it can never translate their movements, their essence, their being...
I've got today's #BirdOfTheDay covered with both #grey and #redbeaks with this Heermann's Gull, done for the Waymakers fundraiser last year. Immigrant children in the US need more help than ever. Sign up for this year's race! (and mutuals, DM me for a discount code). runsignup.com/Race/IL/Chic...
It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.
Feel confident enough in my traditional art to take commissions now. Only one problem - TIME!!! :(
I finished a painting!! Two this year actually... but what did I actually learn? 🎨🖌️ 1. I have a distinctive style; an actual style that I LOVE and that is 100% ME! 🤍 2. I MUCH prefer painting traditionally to digitally! 🪺 3. I need a WHOLE lot of time and headspace to actually paint... ;V; 🎣 💔
Last two weeks I have been working on an actual painting, a full illustration! It makes me sooo happy putting paint to paper! I want to do more!!
Can we all go back to sheezy.art please??? Social media is not good enough for art/gallery sharing. Also there's NO AI!

I say this a lot but... so many art ideas, so little time ;v; I desperately want to draw my two Raven characters together but I haven't even fully decided on how they look yet!! >V<
I think we’re long past the “ai bad because of stealing” argument and fully in the “ai is also actively and tangibly destroying our planet why are you even trying to use it as an art tool at this point” stage
Not trying to be a bummer but seeing obvious AI art still making thousands of likes on here with a flood of comments about how good it looks meanwhile me and other artists bust out asses off everyday on our work and then we post it and it barely gets any traction has to be the worst feeling ever
Happy Pride month! ^v^ Here is one of my fav fish species which is just PERFECT for pride; the Rainbow Shiner! (Hydrophlox chrosomus) 🌈🏳️🌈🐟 For me, this is the ultimate trans pride fish with its amazing pink and blue spawning colours!! A native of North America, it prefers cooler temperatures ❄️
It is strange for me spending so much time in Bristol now for work, it's like I've come full circle. My adult social life as a 19 year old began here, and ultimately brought me to Yorkshire where I've lived since. I didn't appreciate this city so much back then but I do now. It's very progressive!
