Block him. These guys are just thiefs who don't want to learn actual art

I don't normally out people but since I literally have no other recourse when people make AI generated versions of my work without my consent, this is my only option. Block this guy in particular if you want to avoid him making AI versions of your work. Please don't harass him though.

Art is beautiful because it exists.

Art is a process of decisions. Color choices, medium, subject, style, basically everything in art is a choice. And that's what makes it so beautiful. Being able to look at a piece of art and go "I wonder why they chose to use such a bright green here?"

That green could represent so many things. It could be the color of the grass outside that day. The color of their favorite toy. The color of their friend's hair. The color of the trees. Their favorite color. Their most hated color.

Maybe its about a message. Some part of their identity. It could be an injustice they experienced. Something unfair they saw. A victory they claimed. A fight they had. Joy they once felt or still feel. A protest piece. An important act. A source of motivation.

Or maybe there is no reason. Maybe they just felt like using it that day.

Even if art is not made to have a particular meaning, you can still look at it and see every stroke. Every line. Every intention. There was love put into this. A soul was mirrored. A little piece of that artist wound into the picture.

There is nothing there in generative AI images. It is a machine. It does not decide, it does not represent. It makes a collage of images fed to it from a database.

It does not make art. It makes images. Sure, a human prompted it. It told it what to do. But they did not make that art. If I told an artist "draw me a tree" and they did so, would I claim it as my art? I gave the prompt, but the artist created the art. Someone gave the prompt, but the machine generated the image.

There is one benefit: it has made me appreciate art far more. I wonder more when I see art just what the artist was thinking about. I like to think about each choice they made when they created it. I think about what I do in my own art.

I think I'm going to use green today.

Anyone else ever get frustrated at how a lot of autism and sensory related things are made for children? Sensory toys, fidgets, earmuffs, etc are always marketed as being for kids/babies. I got so excited when I found a site making "sensory/fidget friendly clothing", only to find almost everything was made only for kids. I even saw a sort of "sensory gym" thing that looked great, but you go to their website and its only for kids. I'm small, I enjoy kid-related things, but come on. Autistic kids grow into autistic adults.

Tested out my new sketchbook today! This one has thicker pages, and the markers bleed way less than my previous one. It's also smaller, which I like a lot

As someone who's aroace, I am begging asexuals to stop derailing aromantic posts. If you're questioning whether or not you're asexual, do it in an asexual space. Her entire blog is solely about being aromantic. The post is clearly about being aromantic.

Learn what aromantic means.

more heterosexual girls need to get aromantic asap. you don't want a wedding you don't want kids you don't want marriage you don't want roses or chocolate or romantic date nights. you WANT a boytoy that gives you good weed and good dick. and by god i will fight for your right to have that

I have so many unposted OCs, a lot of them unnamed, some of them only in doodles. I love this

IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR ARTISTS!

you SHOULD make ocs even if you feel like you wont use them! every time you put an oc on hold they go to the oc resort where they are given everything they could ever want and get to hang out with other ocs who arent currently being worked with by their creator. the more the better, the oc resort is running low on standby ocs and unused ocs!!! so PLEASE keep making ocs whenever you feel any inspiration to!!!

Idk who needs this but

Two more pages from my doodle book

Im curious because this happens to me. By repeat dreams, I mean you've dreamed multiple times of the same place. It doesn't need to be real place, and different things can happen each time. Only the location matters.
