Maybe you can look for an artist who creates in a similar style & is willing to make it as a gift for them?
Asking them gently if they are aware that the logo was generated is fine (they might not know); from there, you can offer to do the legwork/shoulder the costs, if you are willing/able to.

drawing on a tiny screen with a finger is Not Based, but I liked that it took the pressure off
Like heeeey if I fumbled or got something wrong, just lay off me, I did it with my finger!
(ibis has a touch offset setting btw, I like to offset mine so the line isn't covered by the finger completely)

Have a silly bird for inspiration

An oil painting of a foggy, monochrome forest with a singular man with glowing eyes standing in front of it. Before him are multiple shadows of wolves, their eyes glowing in the darkness as well.

Drawing of R. Daneel Olivaw, cut in half down the center, revealing cybernetics on the right side. He is holding his hands out and standing like an Alex Grey Chapel of Sacred Mirrors artwork, the background radiating gold from his head.

An illustration of a person from the chin down. They have both their arms around black wolves, which are asleep and cuddled against the person. Two more wolves are asleep and piled on top. The person and the animals are all smeared and smattered with blood, indicating they had a great meal together.

Ten winged people in a baroque style drawing. There is one man in the middle with long dark hair grabbing another by his scalp and punching him in the side of the head, while the rest try to pry him off. Feathers and wings are flying everywhere.

A photo of an ipad showing a WIP art piece with pixeled beads, and geranium flowers. The text in the middle reads "genAI is for losers".

It's giving Lisa Frank, but I also snuck in geraniums because they stand for stupidity 😌

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't. By magicmosshka, yesterday's

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

I read the 2nd sentence and was like "ohhh sounds a lot like Lady Parts" and then had my first unfiltered reaction immediately confirmed xD

I'd be the 2nd kind
Unhinged shitposting ftw

A white samoyed dog is sleeping in the lap of a large teddy bear, easily three times the size of the dog. The bear's paw is placed on the dog's back and its face is arranged looking down onto the dog.

Happy 20th anniversary to "Samoyed and teddy bear" on Wikimedia Commons.

"This is a picture of my samoyed with a teddy bear. I release all rights to it, it would just be nice if her image could survive forever."

For new and returning users :D

I honestly never introduced myself here, I hope I will get to the point where I do that some time soon :) As of now, I don't feel like I have much to say about me - not in a sad sense, more like "I don't have a solid reason to invest my time and energy into it."
Someday 🤞

Thank you for the re-introductions
I don't remember when I started following you, and a lot of this was "I feel like I know this, but maybe I'm misremembering" to me.
(Which happens a lot, so regular reminders are👌more people should do them)

✨I put together a pack of wonderful LGBTQ+ artists open for commissions! ✨ Drop a comment here if you'd like to be added 🖤

Helpful reference for doing it.

It doesn't have to be lengthy, just enough for someone to get the jist in whatever situation they need alt text for.

(Having your posts be readily searchable is SO HELPFUL.)

For better or (mostly) for worse, 2025 is almost over.
For all the human creatives out there, artists, writers, musicians, dancers, choreographers, and so many more, thank you for your perseverance and courage.

Happy to announce: ETCH (Ethnical Technology and Computing for Humanity), a nonprofit.

Beautiful.

Good morning everyone, even Steve, who has just stumbled back from the pub and is pretending it’s “very early” rather than “very late.” He's currently talking to the toaster. I'm keeping out of it.

Please help, they're such good eggs Q_Q

Tldr my aunt sold the property after being told we'd have time to move out & we were only given a month to leave. We need help to raise money if the worse happens & we end up homeless. This comes after a cancer battle & major surgery. We need a Christmas miracle.

My Linocut portrait of Caroline Herschel against a starry sky with comet and 5 inset diagrams of her observations

For day 9 #spacetober_challenge nebula: Caroline Herschel (1750 – 1848) a trail blazing woman in #astronomy. 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬🔭 #histsci Hers was a real life Cinderella story, where rather than marrying a prince, she made a life & career for herself. Marriage her expected role but she was deemed unmarriageable, 🧵

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.
