Traditional and digital artist. NO AI. They/them

(Sort of commentary coming) Had this painting accepted months ago for a show, now that I brought it in I was told it might be better not to show it, as families (i.e. kids) will/might attend, and they may have nightmares, or parents may complain. I sort of get it, and I'm not personally mad, but 1/5

A massive creature with multiple reddish, fleshy and bony limbs, flies above a crowd cheering on it. Its face is human-like, and small in comparison. Above its head sits a halo emitting several rays from its centre. Its wings are formed by an indefinite number of thin limbs. Most people in the crowd below are raising their arms in adoration, and some of them are missing parts of their body. The sky is bright orange with greenish, ominous clouds.

I'm quietly crawling into obscurity, cozily working on personal and commercial projects and letting the pressure of algorithms and capitalism slip over my shoulders. Thanks to all who pay any attention to what I do ✨ Here's some art, by the way, not sure I shared it before!

Artists feel pressured to make new art too quickly at the moment. Normalise artists fucking disappearing for months. Just walk off into the woods for a year and come back with a single sketch. It’s good for you

Stuff like this is perfect because it shows how utterly devoid of creativity genAI evangelists are. Great you recreated a photo that already exists in a drawing style that only has currency because of who you're stealing it from giving the world something with absolutely no value or meaning.

OpenAI released a new version of their image generation technology, and people are using it to recreate memes in the style of Studio Ghibli.
