Udo Kier film should not be streamed on Netflix. envelop yourself I. the darkness of the movie hall and submit to the artist's vision

RIP Udo Kier, a true original
📽️

his one and only social media post:

@patstaresat.bsky.social on ＡＩ doomerism

A quote from Alan Moore that reads ""I believe that magic is art, and that art, whether that be music, writing, sculpture, or any other form, is literally magic. Art is, like magic, the science of manipulating symbols, words or images, to achieve changes in consciousness ... Indeed to cast a spell is simply to spell, to manipulate words, to change people's consciousness, and this is why I believe that an artist or writer is the closest thing in the contemporary world to a shaman."

Many happy returns to Alan Moore - writer, artist and magician - 72 today.

The full quote: "I think the sublime confusion is from nineteen to twenty-nine. You think you are late for everything, you're a has been, nothing is happening, there's no opportunity for you, the world is closed, everything is a disaster, you wanna die. And then you're thirty. " "You young people are in the exact age of desperation. I never felt more done and old than in my twenties. I'd say 'life has passed me and I did nothing.' But I'm here to tell you that's not true: you have a lot of fucking time."

I love Guillermo del Toro calling ages 19 to 29 "sublime confusion"

If you’re waiting to feel “good enough” to share your art, you’ll be waiting forever. Very few artists feel that way, at all stages of their careers. Share anyway 🩵

I've seen many people try to explain why bluesky is "boring" to them and they just end up describing social media addiction.

"Bruh I get on bluesky, see a few posts, then log off. But on twitter I stay scrolling all day!"

THAT IS BAD. YOU HAVE BECOME A DOPAMINE ZOMBIE. ARE YOU NOT HEARING YOURSELF

It's time to ride! 💫

They're eight years old now.

Archie & Chester, they're younger here, but haven't changed much.

There's only one way to find out. Better stick around and see.

Y’know, art can be hard. It’s the reality of being a creative. But I try my hardest not to make “art struggle” posts. Because in the back of my head I think I’m adding excuses for those dumb AI bros to be like “See? Just use this!”

So all things considered, I’m quite proud of my progress. #humanart

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them. Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Important Reminder

Become a Newgrounds Supporter! Newgrounds is 100% independent and needs your support!

I myself am a proud supporter of Newgrounds

Newgrounds as a website operates on a loss, and is mostly only up because Tom believes in having a place for all creators without the foibles of social media/algorithms, and I think it's worth supporting, like wikipedia

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it:

Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

It's almost time to discover the world of Star Garden. A FREE demo on Steam and the Kickstarter campaign both launch on September 2. 💫

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Balatro

We need to celebrate the Canadian gamedev scene more. Lets list out all the games we can, built at least in part by Canadian gamedevs.

I'll get us started with Balatro.

Now you go.

Na poster hanging up that says no Kings no slaves no Nazis with three red hands, pointing to a crown a confederate flag and a swastika

They were one of the first platforms to make explicit rules on AI use and tools to flag them. Still one of the few sites to do it, because Newgrounds is a website for artists.

If you can read this- you deserve the world.

Stop being so hard on yourself. Rest, relax, and continue on your journey no matter how hard it may be.

Aint nobody as worse an enemy as themselves.

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do
