honestly: this rocks. pretty stoked about this one. and ngl one of the first things I'm wondering is how viable it'll be to turn that lil cube into an art machine

good news: didn’t buy a camera today (looked at the listing again and it turned out to have a substantial crack in the housing that I did not trust)

Staring off into the middle distance because a used edition of the camera I want came up in my price range but I really shouldn’t buy it yet (I am forcing myself to stay focused on work via Good Tunes but I keep thinking about CAMERA)

Hey man I think there's something wrong with that turkey. This month's Patron print as per fun request- a Turketrice! 🦃🐍 Polychrome colored pencil ✏️

There's a (decently) well known lesson that an art instructor should be teaching: (generally) you shouldn't copy from other artists that aren't masters. Why? Because you will learn their mistakes. You will learn their bad habits. So telling students to use genai is the mark of a horrible teacher.

Genai is filled with mistakes- obvious, stupid, easily spotted mistakes. Telling people to learn from bad material will make them learn all the things that make that material is bad. It's why it's so obvious when a traditional artist is using genai; they copy the red flags, the flaws, the gunk.

The real kicker I keep discovering in these sellout artists using genai is that they almost always sell classes. It's all part of the grift; shortcuts for end results. Why bother figuring out how to collect reference material and understand how things work when "a/i can do it". Newsflash: IT CAN'T

A good reminder of where I stand on this: I DGAF how technically good you are at traditional painting. If you use genai in ANY part of your process, you have abandoned the soul of art, abandoned the artist community and forfeit any reason I should give you an ounce of respect.

time limited commissions are a really good way of bonking myself over the head to learn to be efficient with shapes and brush strokes (this is very fun and I am excited to see what I figure out after spending around 30 hours doing them)

So many artists, writers, and designers I know have learned this lesson the tedious way, so let me co-sign this and say not only is it a huge waste of time and labor to listen to the "I'd buy that" crowd online, you will also lose money. Make what *you* want to make, everything else is noise

Thursday means WORK STREAM - I’ll be working on a couple of things today! Come hang out over on twitch.tv/ratwednesday 💪

it took me until basically midnight to realize that the likely culprit of me feeling tired and off today was that I fully forgot to take my meds this morning! whoops! I got work done regardless but it was definitely harder than it should have been :’)

love to realize the last time we went and saw a movie was Godzilla Minus One Minus Color on election night 2024 coming out of Frankenstein tonight, our first movie theatre movie in a year, to Mamdani, Spanberger, Sherril, and more? Beautiful. Much much better.

This election is between one of the most intelligent and charismatic speakers this generation with a plan to make New York better, and a geriatric sex pest who lost the primary to Zohran and then decided to run anyway, because like all sex pests, he doesn't understand what "No" means. Vote.
