Use AI for something useful like finding a solution for climate change or something.

From industrial design to technical writing to technical illustrating to just illustrating. It's a journey. I might be lost, but that's fine.

Same for me... Rammstein was my go to work music until my knowledge of German kind of resurfaced....(when I was ver young I spoke bordergerman, but forgot most of it)
That's how I ended up with Russian, Polish and Mongolian metal...
No clue what they sing about...
I'm no purist when it comes to participating in things we all know are bad. I try to reduce my harm but I'm an honest hypocrite.
I won't judge you for still using Spotify, just try this rad alternative. I'm listening to music from Dar es Salaam. Where will you listen to? radio.garden/listen/furah...
screenshot of a tumblr post from user βwildmanstersβ The thing that really boils my potatoes about Al in general is that I have been a creative professional for over a decade now and the devil has ALWAYS been in the details. Big and small, I've had single-person businesses rip me to shreds over how their colors turned out on newsprint, and have worked with huge companies with THICK brand guidelines with every detail of their brand identity laid out and enforced with an iron fist. But I guess all of that stuff doesn't matter anymore? Who gives a fuck if this Al generated baby has six fingers, that mom-and-pop shop is still going to use it. That rug from Temu says Happy Thanksgivirg? Oh well haha it's just a silly funny thing now (nevermind that you never would have given a B-grade item from a craft show the same consideration). I don't actually care that the Al Coca-cola ad has a truck that changes size every scene, but I can't help but think about how, if it had been some poor underpaid artist, they would have been laughed out of the building. I don't really know how to put it in a succint way but it just feels all the more obvious how much more grace and flexibility has always been possible but never offered.
i know WHY this is but that just makes it even more of a kick in the pants lmao

Maybe if we start talking about necromancy fuels instead of fossil fuel we can convince some groups to stop using it? See if we can covince them to drive out this dark necromancy thing with light (based energy)?
I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Text: 10 sweep In dragon boat racing, the one steering the boat is named the sweep. The pole the sweep uses to keep the boat on course is also named a sweep. Illustration of two dragon boats. The one in the front shows the back of the boat with the sweep and two rowers. The one in the back only shows the front with the dragon and the drummer. Topright corner shows a chinese dragon head
Because I didn't have much time in October, I was only able to finish a few, but I have most of the sketches. I like working on the prompts, so we're now in the finishember months.

Piece of non figurative art stuck to a door, lower half shredded to pieces. Pieces lying on the floor underneath
When you have this experimental piece stuck to the door of your workroom because you don't know what to do next with it, AND you need to lock up the cat for the night and she get bored/wants out...
I guess it's an even bigger experimental piece now ....

Galaxy painting with seven, totally different, spaceship
Early Sunday morning at the #hsfcon. Seven people were awake enough to help build our own #HSF-CON spacecity.
Each person brought their own unique style, just like all the different species in #Valerian that build Alpha.
It was quick and dirty, but I love the result!
Thanks everbody

Millennium Falcon just in the front of the TNG Enterprise Text: 20 rivals? Well not really... Inktober 2025 day 20
I know these franchises are often pitched as rivals but, like many, I love them both.Β But to be honest, for me, the Millennium Falcon doesn't have a rival. In all it's roughness, it just might be my favorite spaceship of all time.#inktober #inktober2025 #ink #art #day20 #rivals #startrek #starwars
