I love Star Wars, and art: digital, watercolor, colored pencils, pastels, all fantastic.

“When participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.
Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engaged—a kind of metacognitive mirage.”🧪

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Found this on TikTok and it made me emotional ❤️
Artists create universes from nothing.
Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Barry Windsor-Smith, “Beguiled” (1982/1995), pen and ink, watercolour/gouache, and coloured pencil. Intended for the cover of Epic Illustrated, but fatigue prompted BWS to abandon it half-done. Thirteen years later, BWS completed the work.

Me: These are Oreos.
Her: And...?
Me: Perfect nutrition.
Her: How?
Me: They have all the food groups. They got your light, your dark, your top and your bottom. Check and mate...
Her: ... Pass the milk.

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'
"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.
