Art friends: Here's a tip for getting rid of *a lot* of the AI slop in your Pinterest feed.

⭐Go into your account settings.
⭐Click the "Refine your recommendations" tab.
⭐Click the GenAI Interests subtab.
⭐TURN OFF EVERYTHING.

So far, my feed is *significantly* cleaner.

Screenshot of the Pinterest settings menu. The option "Refine your recommendations" is circled.

Screengrab of the Refine Your Recommendations tab in Pinterest's settings. The subtab GenAI Interests is circled.
Below, all options have been turned off.

Hey so, guess who decided to do the main pups of #PawPatrol like this? Just #art for fun, so I could mess around.

The great Drew Struzan has passed away. His work was seen and loved by millions of people over decades of making poster art for some of the most classic films ever and went on to inspire countless more creators (myself included) who struggled to capture even a little of his magic for ourselves.

Drew Struzan sitting on a bench in front of framed originals for a few of the many astoundingly good movie posters he made.

I've used a Photospring digital picture frame. Works nice and simple.

It might not be very obvious (or visible) at first, but @twarda.bsky.social puts a lot of care, effort, and research to bring you the most accurate and believable cartoon dinosaurs possible 🦕

I found a 19th century Cat Villain!

A huge chonk of a fluffy cat sitting on a table near an open fire. The cat is cream and grey and appears to be shaped like a barrel in a fur coat. They are scowling fiercely with their moustache and bewhiskered ears apparently flowing back into the cold wind. There's a definite vibe that this villainous cat twirls their moustache as they evict orphans into the aforementioned blizzard and think Scrooge was an easy-going lightweight. They are magnificent.

One of the most extensive paintings I've ever done, two covers in one even! A lot of hours, planning and detail went into this. So much greeeen!

A lush green fantasy forest setting with a pond in the middle and a lot of magical creatures scattered around it.

Detail of one of the creatures, what looks like a combination of a deer and an owl with leaves growing on it's budy and mushroom antlers.

Another creature, an ent looking creature with a leafy body and branch antlers. Small glowing blue birds flying around it.
