If you see AI generated actors...

It is remarkable that the general state of things is:

1) creators whose work was stolen to train AI have no rights
2) users who create with AI have no rights in the output
3) the AI companies have full rights to everything they want, including user prompts

I dunno, sounds wrong and untenable.

This is an anti AI piece of mine from a couple of years back.
It was the first large scale stencil bit of street art that I have done in a while.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

I like the idea of that image but the AI gen sheen to it put me off reading the article.

Yeah I still have smoking dreams and they tend to be great dreams with all kinds of adventures going on and in the waking time I am like fuck you brain equating smoking with wooden trains that drive through the sea.

I have been slowly uploading some original screen print/painting mash ups to the sales page on my site.
Many of these pieces I am loathe to part with but I need to make space in the new studio to make new art.

Here are a couple of bits of choice ephemera I found in my studio during the big move.

The headaches after giving up coffee can be quite severe and unpleasant too.
But I haven't had a coffee for 2 years after a life long addiction to the stuff. I have to say giving up coffee had made me feel great and less mad and more focused and just generally more chill overall.

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

Oh stick it up your arse.

My digital memories tell me this was me 2 years ago, living my best life.

Ha yes I can see Stop Treating Adults like Children! being sloganised by the right in stupid but seemingly horribly effective way.

I found this piece in my studio when I was moving. It, like a load of other paintings, had been stuck in a corner behind some piles of wood so I hadn't seen it since I first moved in.
I have a habit of finishing art work and then squirrelling it away like I am keeping it for winter.

Well that was all kinds of bonkers.

The Belfast the Time Forgot (the Arcade Game) is coming as soon as I find someone who an build the bloody game for me.
