Mr. Miyazaki sir, I love your movies about how capitalism and the destruction of nature are evil, I made a shitty facsimile of them in a computer that drains reservoirs, do you like it

This and when you use gen ai you are not creating anything. You are using a computer to produce an image based on a prompt. There is ZERO creative expression in that image.
It is a mockery of what anyone’s creative brain can do if given the chance.
#noai

That cool artist you admire is probably struggling real hard right now and trying to make it seem like things aren't as bad as they are. You should give them some love.

I'm against gen Ai in art but imagine how life changing it might have been for some artists if they could sell the licence for their work to opt in then receive royalties every time their art's used. It pains me knowing how much has been stolen and devalued when a fair solution is right there.

Show me how you draw/paint women 💖

Listen, I'm just a lil sapphic bean

My toxic trait is scrolling through animal rescue adoption pages and having a little cry, as a treat

If the welfare cuts kill me, every single Labour MP is invited to my funeral to view their handiwork. I might also write letters to Starmer, Reeves and Kendall to be mailed upon my death 🤔

Violet, an art print by Ari Gallery Quality Prints

🇲🇫 ouais, sa canne blanche est techniquement une violette claire, mais c'est pour l'esthétique, oui ?

A digital drawing of a light-skinned, plus-sized woman with her plum-coloured hair piled on top of her head. She is wearing a vibrant purple, strapless dress with a pastel purple ruffle. There is gold embroidery of roses and a flower on her skirt, and she is wearing a gold diadem. She is holding a folded up white cane for the blind, which is actually pastel purple too

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 yes, her white cane is technically a light purple cane, but it's for the aesthetic, right?

A digital drawing of a light-skinned woman with a dark blue bob. She is wearing a gold headpiece with blue jewels and wearing a royal blue ballgown with gold glitter around the hem and bodice, but fading out towards the waist. She has a sky blue shawl around her arms that matches her walking stick

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 blue is such an overpowering colour though 😭

A digital drawing of Bloom from Winx Club in my style. She is a light-skinned ballerina standing in profile, with one foot raised behind her and one hand raised above her. She is wearing a blue tutu with gold flames embroidered, and teal ballet shoes and fingerless gloves. She has long, wavy orange hair and fire puffs from her hand.

This is such a lovely idea and congratulations 🎉

Hi, I'm Ari, I'm a disabled artist with a thing for fantasy ✨ I don't really have a favourite colour scheme but I've been drawn to a lot of orange and yellow/gold recently

It's a really especially tough time for small businesses, so thank you to everyone who is sharing and shopping small! 💗

None of the artists I know who are living from commission to commission are even close to comfortably well off. Asking people to pay what you know the skills you've honed are worth and what you need to survive is good and anyone who says otherwise is deeply unserious or hoping to exploit you.

Is it just me or is 90% of the pro AI hype just massively damaged people who can't express a single artistic notion and want to punish artists for having something special that they themselves will never have
