genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.

Please just give the Land Back or else this cycle will continue to repeat itself. Quite literally there is no way to fix “America” without returning back to its original governance and ways. And surprisingly, no, we won’t take your homes or force you off it like your ancestors did to us.

and not a penny to the Lakota, who’s story Cameron exploited to create a pseudo-pan-Indigenous alien fantasy that helps no one but his own pocket. This world’s priorities are all wrong.

You can still get my #fantasy novel "The Raven Knight" before Christmas. Give the gift of demon possession, gender affirming care, bad people dying, and a HEMA-trained Asian hero who is *sick of everything.* www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSWBF9R4 Art by: @thisisradinsky.bsky.social @gruselzirkus.bsky.social

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

In addition to this administration trying to kill kids, and they're also coming for our binders? OUR BINDERS.

"concept artists can experiment with AI to make their lives easi-" wrong I smack you with Claire Hummel's immaculate and detailed understanding of costume design, which she got by studying historical references, which made her strong, which you will not become by relying on AI get good

to counter the negativity and anger that comes with seeing ever more ai shit everywhere, here's the recent music video making-of by my all time # 1 favourite band, Avatar! beautifully handcrafting a new wackadoo adventure dir. Johan Carlén #avatarmetal www.youtube.com/watch?v=aohx...

I'm opening up two quick slots for ukiyoe style commissions, if you're interested please fill out the form below! This will be first come first serve this time so I'll be closing the form once slots are filled. Turnaround time will be about 2 weeks FORM: forms.gle/JsAfzes9oVTi...

Just realizing the studio that produced the video is literally called "little shit man" One can only respect that

I saw someone say this and I want to make it clear too: please, if you commissioned me and you still use Twitter, don’t post my art there. Please

"Producing human made art/animation/illustration is time consuming and expensive" like it's some checkmate! argument for ai shit instead of revealing the true nature of consumerism and ignorance of the value of creative work

A Sagari, a horse head yokai, that I sculpted in 1988 while I was at the School of Visual Arts. My brother Kurt took these photos in 2011. It's Sculpey painted in acrylics, with a yak hair mane. It was based on an illustration by Ishihara Gōjin from "The Illustrated Book of Japanese Monsters" 1972.

Help an artist pay his bills, take a look at my shop! ✨👁️ i got prints, stickers and original art! #artsky #blueskynightmarket #art ko-fi.com/scarycircus/...

Jeff spitting facts! Gonna parrot this-- when I was teaching, I would tell my students to not look solely at what other concept artists/popular illustrators were doing to inform their own designs. Go to your local museums and galleries, look at different mediums and fields, broaden that reach.

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

seriously, buy Ken's book! I'm currently reading it and I absolutely love it!

Me whenever I see some racist, homophobic, transphobic scumbag say they're a Trek fan:

quote with your red art 👹 ah, yis, i haz fine wares

I had just rewatched the Princess Bride and looked up Rob Reiner to see what other films he made. Effin tragedy.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

A heartfelt thank you to all who buy from independent artists, hire us, or even share our work or give words of encouragement. Even the most established of artists are feeling a decline in work and sales this year. Your support in all or any way is felt and appreciated amongst us! Thank you!!

I love that Brad Douriff has played a serial killer in at least three classic sci-fi TV shows.

I need to raise €3,600 very very fast due to a complete collapse of human rights Law and one narcissist coercive control abusing lunatic. To avoid being homeless at Christmas and the loss critical evidence. I'm sorry.
