Whilst I appreciate how nicely this is worded, I don’t appreciate the invasion by an AI/NFT bot. Had to block the account, and can only hope this has not already been fed to the machines! #NoAI #NoNFTs #NoArtTheft !!!

@dereksylvester.bsky.social Hi Derek, sorry to bother you. I was just reposted by some AI Art scraper/ NFT trading entity(?). I saw you followed them, so wanted to make you aware in case they try to scrape your art too. If I am wrong and they’re legit, I apologise. But better be safe than sorry. 😅

First time of having a physical print of one of my digital paintings. I’d gladly hang it somewhere at home, but to be part of an exhibition that currently has only traditional art on show, I am not sure it looks good enough. #art #digitalart #doubts #impostersyndrome #digitalpainting

From the works I have seen posted by you, this in my eyes and heart is your masterpiece. It’s difficult to do digitally, but to pull off the colour and shape overlays traditionally to me seems still unattainable. How you incorporated a (self?-)portrait and the shark whale is amazing! 🤩😲😍🙌🏼🌈

Rest your soul in peace, Sam Neill. I don’t know why your sudden passing hits so deep. Maybe it came unexpected. Maybe because I remember some really interesting posts from you on social media. Maybe because you were a similar age to my Dad. Maybe I just liked your warm gravitas voice. 🙏🏼💔😞

OMG!! 😍 I’m not only mesmerised by these hues&values and expressive yet detailed brushstrokes, but somehow was drawn straight to the Giraffe’s eyes. So many ways I could read the facial expression, from sad, gentle &caring to even giving me the disapproval/disappointed side eye look. Excellent! 👏🏼🙌🏼🤩

Respectfully submitted for #ArtRepostJuly. I hope this qualifies for today’s theme of #eerie. A trauma painting I turned into a Singles Cover for my bsky friend. His song hit home and seemed to resonate with this artwork. #art #artist #artshare #digitalart

Can anyone please tell me how to find these art feeds/ their organisers/ the prompt lists more easily? Even looking fir #ArtRepostJuly in the feeds search didn’t come up with anything! It’s beyond frustrating and I do love/ try to participate. Found this one only by scrolling to the bottom. Sigh.

Respectfully submitted for your approval of : #wide #Blueskyartshow Title#1 “Under the bridge Lock 24” Title#2 “The Red Mill at Lock 24”. This is in the Village of Baldwinsville, NY where I used to live. Both paintings are oil on Gessoboard #art #fineart #traditionalart #artshare #architectural

“Goodbye and Good Luck!” I hope this piece is acceptable for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #wide. A sea turtle leaving its eggs (depicted in some kind of x-ray view under the sand. #art #sciart #digitalart #artshare #artist

Reposting the below for #BlueSkyArtShow theme #wide. It’s wide-ish I guess. #art #oilpainting #digitalart #landscape #artshare

I understand that today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #wide. (I don’t have the prompt list oops). This is an abstract digital oil landscape of mine.

This morning I watched a Joshua T Kirkman livestream; he does traditional oil landscape paintings. Tried to recreate this digitally from memory (no reference image). Did this in 1 hour as I needed a quick win. Don’t like nor hate it! 😅 #art #artist #artshare #landscape #digitalart #oilpainting

Also, the chillZdance cover was made with Feathertip brush from @angrymikko.bsky.social oil brushset. I highly recommend it for those who want to get a feeling for oil painting digitally first before diving into traditional oils; you can get the set from his gumroad page.

This year has been a bit rough and slow moving in terms of arts & design. Perhaps I overdid it last year. But I do feel, I am slowly getting back on track. Here my latest 2 playlist #coverart pieces. #art #artist #music #musicart #digitalart #artshare #musiccoverart #playlist #recordart #coverart

It’s a little clunky, but still easier than you might think to post on just one social network and have it syndicated everywhere. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

I missed Paul’s art posts. Good to see them back! 🥰

Needs further tweaking. I made my own CRT texture, which unfortunately have blurred the coloured rectangles too much. As a result, you cannot see that each object consist of 10 individual outlines. #CRT #textures #retrographics #retrodesign #graphicdesign #WIP

I’m not a gamer, but this sounds like immersive fun. I actually got goosebumps watching the trailer and listening to the soothing voice of the narrator. #moomins #moomintroll 😍

This is so cute!

@dereksylvester.bsky.social hi Derek. Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you had heard of Paul Mollon (Straight Jacket Dreamer). I’m a bit worried about our friend. I hope Paul’s alright!

I dunno man, looks like slop to me! It pisses me off no end that artists have to state their work is human made and then comes along some prompter and claims they didn’t use AI! A real artist would not have drawn hair lines over the augmented side. They would also have … 1/2
