Allow me to share one of my treasured drawings.

Had the honor of meeting goth dad himself, Voltaire!

Quote with your own treasured pieces!
An image of Voltaire drawn in the year 2017. It is signed and personalized with a note that reads "Ray, you are amazingly talented" and a heart after the signature. I cried when I received this (This piece is copywrite Ray Arames of The Dank Macabre and Inn Obscura. It is not to be used for training purposes.

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Don't follow me if you use Al.

Especially if you're an author who uses generated images for covers.

Go fuck yourself, genuinely.

Post a witch if you wish!

This is my kenku witch, Kayke. Her 3D model is seriously my magnum opus.
A ken ku crow witch in an illuminated hallway full of candles as she glares with cunning glowing golden eyes. She wears elegant flowing blue black and white robes with gold jewelry and a golden winged and vine headdress over her long feathers. She is missing her right arm, replacing it with long coiling threads that she uses to cast with her spells written all along the strip. The same goes for her leg, though it is not shown.

gAI art is bad because it's stealing labor.

stealing labor from art is easy because no one sees art as labor, they see it as talent.

they see it as talent because it's easier to believe they have a right to hate you because they can't stand they gave up and you didn't.

fuck them, pay labor.
