AI will never (or rarely) beat the connection a work created by YOU brings. Don't worry too much about it and focus on the experience of creating💙

Never forget the love & passion u got for ur projects. Don't overthink other stuff, see it as necessary tasks & try to enjoy some steps, eg go to a comic con 🙂 I believe that AI will lead to another divide when it comes to consuming art. Group 1 enjoys AI stuff, group 2 will prefer human made work.

Thanks for the heads-up! Politics can't be avoided really, I just don't want my feed to be overwhelmed by it 💙

Truly powerful indeed! And imo even more so these days in which war seems to be imminent while also being a father of two boys.

Yeah it's ridiculously good! There are so many details in these works that photos just don't do it justice!

Went to the Käthe Kollwitz Museum in Ver today. Amazing #art works, very heavy, and at the same time beautiful! The details in her etchings are just out of this world. One of my new favorite artists! #artist #artworks #etching #darkart #femaleartist #artsky

Work by Käthe Kollwitz, etches , death and poverty

Cool I'll check it out with moderate expectations 😉

Dorian Pfeiffer - Artist & Writer @dorianpfeiffer.bsky.social · 20d

Still haven't seen it. All the hype horror movies of 2025 pretty much disappointed me apart from The Ugly Stepsister...so I'm hesitant to watch it.

Today I learned that the protagonist of Barry Windsor-Smith's Monsters is missing one eye too - so is the on of my graphic novel RATKING! There are quite some similarities: childhood trauma, war, exploitation. Damn.
