This is so incredibly discouraging. All that hard work and dedication to her art, dismissed by morons. I loathe the plagiarism machines so much.

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

AI CEOs right now are like cigarette salesmen: “Please buy our cigarettes, they don’t affect your health, I swear! If you don’t buy our cigarettes, our company will go bankrupt, so hurry up and start smoking today!”

Stranger Than Fiction (2006) Wristwatch

On some projects, I had the fun opportunity to design unusual things. For Stranger Than Fiction our small Montreal VFX team did R&D for on-screen graphics representing Harold Crick's (Will Ferrell's) thoughts and routines, and the creative team at MK12 in Kansas also worked on the cool graphics. The script also featured a watch sidekick that talked/beeped and emoted. That was my job.

My complicated feelings about being online.

This is after all a blog, and for the first time, I'm going to write something just like a blogger does. Or an old guy rambling on too long about stuff. There have been a lot of posts on BlueSky lately about the heavy lifting and exhausting process of self-promotion and constant "content creation" that social media demands for artists to be seen.

My steampunk submarine, the Seabeam as an antique photo using Affinity Photo. I have a collection of antique blank 1920s photo paper that naturally aged and molded which makes converting new photos to old a fun process.

Antique-style photo of my miniature steampunk submarine model, made to look like a real vintage image underwater.

I have an embedded old Twitter logo on my Wordpress website which is part of the default template (I don’t have an account). I can’t find a way to remove it, so I’ll have to upload a new template, which will mess up my postings. This is my only social media account. Hope I can fix it.

Looks like I’ll be posting and viewing on my Mac from now on, in the browser. No update or support for the Bluesky iPad app. Works on my iPhone though. Can’t quote-repost in the iPad app.

This book from 1906 has been a source of inspiration and learning for me throughout my career. I’m not a mechanic or engineer but if I had to design anything mechanical, this was very helpful. 355 pages too.

Book - The Engineer’s Sketchbook of Mechanical Movements by Thomas Walter Barber.Interior of the book. Text on one side, mechanical drawing on the other side.
