🥝 artist from nz, draws stuff 🐛 currently working through artblock
People like Kane and many many others that do care about human art and the creative process have been a beacon of hope while trying to navigate making art in this current climate.

Interviewer: I read that you do not want to embrace Al.
Kane: Absolutely not.
For me the whole point of doing what I'm doing-art is a way of processing life. I don't see the value in outsourcing any element of that.
When I'm looking at someone else's project, if I see an element of the environment [where] they use generative fill or whatever to change something about the scene, it just shuts off the part of my brain that wants to know more about that world. Because I would assume if they're willing to make an arbitrary choice there, they could make an arbitrary choice with literally anything.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wk7ktvs3sld47pgfndy43gyp/bafkreid3oivudz5p3kmcuu6ss3gr2tmy73r3uqe3ljh6h5rxbeax2dcme4)
The Adventures of Prince Achmed just turned one hundred years old. It's still among the best movies ever made. For the film's birthday, we're sharing Lotte Reiniger's wonderful firsthand account of its creation: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/a-film-tha...
I feel grief but I struggle to explain why. I guess it's normal. I'm working towards getting a clinical diagnosis for neurodivergence, but I'm nervous. Here's a funny worm I made
please continue to share your art despite it all
Wanted to create an oc in a psx style. Didn't finish it but it was fun.
I haven't drawn much recently, trying to spend more of my life outside and focusing on moving out. Maybe I'll start sketching traditionally again.
still experiencing seasonal depression, but thankfully it's sunny today
pick up an analog hobby, I'm so serious. something that holds your attention and is fun for you, literally anything. Collect and identify bread tags or something, just don't fall into the trap of doomscroll paralysis again
Experimenting with blending 2D and 3D, not sure if it works here but I had fun regardless. [ #animation #b3d #2d #art ]
Go make the art you’ve always wanted to make. Write the stories you’ve been dreaming of. Sing your heart out. Pick up an instrument & play. Do the things you’ve been holding back on because you’re worried about what others might think. Just do it. Do it now. Life is short. Life is precious. Please.
No matter how dark our world may become, keep creating things that challenge the norm & never stop being weird.
I think it's important to write about how and why we make art because like... humans need to make art, and they need to experience it. It's a way of the human brain processing reality; without enough of it, you go fuckin nuts. So if we can help people make good art, we can offer some nourishment.
2024 was definitely a difficult year for me, but through that difficulty I'm carving my own path forward. Independence and self-trust is scary for me, so I know that that's an area worth focusing on in 2025. ⭐ Drawing has been such an important part of keeping me relatively sane.
Woof. I lost patience to complete this, but I did manage to create something. [ #animation #art #gif ]
What you avoid holds the key to your creative growth. Don't let fear stop you, embrace it. The more terrifying the endeavor, the bigger your growth.
I like eels, they're pretty neat [ #art #animation #maori ]
