I've recommended this one before, but for all the non-human vertebrate likers out there... the art of animal drawing

me: *puts on playlist I made myself, perfectly curated with all my favorite songs* me: *skips song* me: *skips song* me: *skips song* me: *skips song* me: Who the fuck made this bullshit playlist?

I go to youtube. Cute animal videos are AI now. I go to instagram. There are AI influencers. I go to spotify. It's flooded with AI bands and music. I go to ebay. Every product is AI. I open netflix. Every movie has AI. I watch TV. All commercials are AI. I cancel all my suscriptions. The customer support is AI. I buy a book. It is written by AI. I talk to my friends. They tell me that AI is their new therapist. I take the subway. Some dude is talking to his AI girlfriend next to me. I go to the beach. The sunset is real. I take a pic and upload it. The photo is enhanced with AI. You can't opt out.

wheres seasons greasons

its that time of year again

It doesn’t have to be

its not optional

Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?

'the author's barely disguised fetish' is quickly turning into another version of 'what drugs were they on when they made this?'

i think when i started drawing i accepted that i never cared or needed to be a 'good' artist and that my two priorities were to be a happy artist and a better artist than i was before and because of that now people will ask me how to be a good artist and its like. well first step is you dont

everything i draw ever exists on a two point axis. will it make me happy or will it help me learn something/practice a skill. and ive never done anything else and thats working out

this is genuinely such a wonderful project you guys have made, i've started using it off streams and it has been such a huge help. please everyone, check it out and thank you so much to rorrii and smeedle for this!!
