Gemini installed itself on my dad's phone and changed the function of the side button from 'power off' to 'ask the AI for help'. Enter one very confused 79 year old. I hate this. Can we just stop. ๐Ÿšซ

Chapter 1 is pretty much a lock. Wherever happens with the rest, this is how I want the book to start. Started working on a simple little piece of art based on it this week to celebrate. Ultimately, I would like to do one for each chapter and include them in the finished publication.

Drop me your portfolio here if that's you! ๐Ÿฉท

ICYMI: Commissions are now closed. I'm having to take up a temp job over Christmas to pay the bills and want to devote my free time to personal projects and writing. I don't know yet whether they will open again in the new year. As ever I remain open to opportunities. I'm not ceasing to art. โค๏ธ

Painting of a girl standing in the shallow waters of a bay, fishing net in hand with a barrel around her chest. Some crabs are in the barrel. The sky swirls behind her.

Final call for now. I will be closing commissions at the end of October as I'll be working a temp Christmas job most of the week to pay the bills. Financially, I can't see past that at the moment and I want to devote more time to writing in the new year, so it might be your last chance for awhile. โค๏ธ

Hi #PortfolioDay!

I'm an illustrator based in the UK. My freelancing has died a death this year, so if you'd like to see it revived then a little share or support would be very much appreciated. โค๏ธ

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

๐ŸšซIt's not AI. It never will be. It's a composite of photo manipulation and painting. I started working like this before AI. I don't use it for everything, the look just really suited what I was going for with the world setting in my book. ๐Ÿ“–(more examples in replies)

Thank you for 3k followers everyone! โค๏ธ

Some of you will be happy to hear that there is actually more personal work for my book in progress. It's not ready to show yet though. Until then here's some older work for it, in order too. Perhaps you can even figure out what's going on...maybe...๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ™ƒ
