Hi new peeps!

Burned out artist here, been on a breather for the past year to recover my creative mojo after years of low pay work and now AI...

Anyway here's stuff I have made, I hope you like it!
Mermaid embracing and kissing a man underwater with green and blue background The American suffragette Susan B Anthony sits at a writing desk with sunflowers behind her. 2 figures stand in a forrested glade. The man represents Autumn and the woman represents Spring. They look at each other holding each other's left hand while the woman holds up a gold coin. Behind them stands a bearded older man with arms raised. There are 9 gold coins floating in the air above them. This is the 10 of Coins tarot card. A medieval lady stands holding a sword in the entrance to a forest with open space behind her. This is drawn in black and white.

NGL folks. Moving even just one of these originals would really make a difference for my husband & I with our continually piling up medical bills.🥲 Plz help spread the word, if you can. Even just re-sharing is powerful for small artists like me.🙏

Another ~classique: Acetaminophen eases the pain of social rejection! "Acetaminophen reduced neural responses to social rejection in brain regions previously associated with distress caused by social pain and the affective component of physical pain"

Pain, whether caused by physical injury or social rejection, is an inevitable part of life. These two types of pain-physical and social-may rely on some of the same behavioral and neural mechanisms th...

So sweet

If you need a little hope this morning - the current tween trend involves decorating clothespins with affirming messages, then clipping them on friends' backpacks when they're not looking.

Here are a few that my 11-year-old decorated this weekend ❤️
Clothespins decorated with paint markers and pens, with affirming messages. Like "bee you" with a drawing of a bee. And "you're sweeter than pie" with a checked motif. And "you can do it" and "unleash your creativity."

Today I glazed a painting and began another colour layer for another. It's slow going but at least it's going. Bug decided to land in wet transparent glaze though, so there's something for future archaeologists to clone from lol

More broadly, VFX bloat is at least 90% a result of poor planning, poor management , and execs/leads generallu treating artists and studios like a black box they email to receive infinite executions, revisions and costly minor variations around the clock and on demand

Today in AI Is Not A Good Source For Learning About The World's Most Misunderstood Body Part, meet this ChatGPT gem.

Funnily enough, we're actually going to talk about how most of this is kinda sorta right (for small values of right), as a cautionary tale about generative AI.
Screenshot of a reddit post: ChatGPT asked if I wanted a diagram of what's going on inside my pregnant belly. A screenshot of ChatGPT's response. It is a side view of a foetus gestating in the uterus. The foetus is head-up with no umbilical cord or placenta. Behind the uterus is the rectum, which is unlabelled. Trailing down from between the rectum and spine, extending beneath the buttocks to the inner thigh is a yellow line labelled "pudendal nerve. At the front is an oval-shaped part labelled "cervix". And then we really struggle to image describe this bit. The uterus and the bladder are both attached to a single part which is long inside, then extends downwards into a penis with a single exist. This penis is labelled "rectum".

These are spreads for McCall's magazine by Andy Virgil, 1959. Each spread was paying about $1,500 at that time. Today that would be between $9,000-$12,000. The average price of a brand new car in 1959 was $2,200.

This is not caused primarily by "screen time".

It's been caused by the mass eradication of third places for young people in basically every city over the past three decades - and a society that's hostile to the concept of teens socialising in public spaces.

I can’t be at Gencon because I’m broke, so I’m enjoying perusing all your art booth displays online!

Making this an artist alley thread of cool displays I saw! Feel free to drop yours too, if you see this.

Have a good con, art friends!

DuckDuckGo has added a feature to filter out AI images from search results.
Post from "The Rundown" July 18 at 5:30 PM · DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material. Source: TechCrunch
