Still working on a show in June.
20x20 acrylic on panel
I think I’ve tentatively titled this one β€œRinse Cycle”
I thought about adding more colors, but decided it was better this way.

This is how I’ve been using AI to create. Lots of individual images collaged onto a digital file, drawn over on my ipad- changing, moving, deleting, simplifying,- then I start the same process over again transitioning from the drawing to a painting. Lots of steps to try to get to something good. TD

Work on progress. I’ve started this over three times. Its still not what my mind says it should be. I think I might need to mess it up a little. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈTD

Golden Slumber- oil on panel
The inspiration for this painting came from playing with AI. Some of what came up looked like a mad, but beautiful strange dream. That was back in the early days of AI when it wasn’t as smart, and many things had to be reworked, and designed, but I kept the general theme

I'm looking to see if the cuts & chaos at CDC and NIH have affected any clinical trials or research for drugs for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other serious diseases. If you know anything, please contact me at DavidCorn.99 at Signal.

Or if you have any other good stories.

once were.

There are too many sirens. Even posting new work on social media seems to be waning in effectiveness. Art feels analog.

In the future, I will try to make my art a siren, and a holder of attention, if only to survive in this new attention age.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

(the wealth gap is definitely part of it).
But, after listening to just part of your book, I suspect that fine art is suffering from a lack of grabbing people’s attention.
It’s not that people do not love art, and appreciate it- I think they just aren’t thinking about it as much as they

I just listened to your free chapter on you podcast, and immediately ordered the audio book so I could continue.

For several years now, artists and gallery owners I know have discussed this slow decline in the fine art business. Many times it’s been hung on the pandemic, politics, the economy

This will work as long as it takes for people to call in fake reports and send ICE to investment firms, dental offices, and car dealerships -
(it won’t work).

I’m going to try to build my presence here in 2025- to try to break away from the Meta monopoly.

I’m an artist in #Boise, Idaho. I paint a lot of different subjects- I just love to create art. You can see my available art in my Etsy shop - tobydavisart.

New Desk Calendars

For a long time people have been asking for calendars, and I just could find a good option. I ordered a sample of these and it seemed like a quality product. So, I designed 7 different calendars featuring my paintings.
They can be found on my Etsy shop- tobydavisart.Etsy.com
Thx

I’ve never painted pets. I just wasn’t something I was interested in. This one was fun, maybe I’ll take on some commissions in 2025.
