A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

Because people are once again whining about ai being the only way to make art here are a few books I used to teach myself how to draw (in my 30s)! Just put in a little effort each day doing the exercises, focus on how you look at shapes/shadow/texture/light and you'll be drawing in no time!

mods are asleep, post fingies. this is Phantom Shoreline by Chameleon Nails, a reactive thermal polish that goes from a light beigey nude in its warm state to a purplish pink in its cold state. apparently it also has solar color changing properties but it hasn't been sunny enough here to trigger.

aside from christmas music, what's your favorite album to listen to around this time of year? mine is The Loneliest Time by Carly Rae Jepsen. captures the vibes of the darkest season and adds its own little light. 🕯️ 💫
