I like art and dogs, in that order. I do Magic Art Shows for fun. He/him. Trying to be relevant since ever. I work for an art museum by day.

Interesting thread on experiencing vs parroting commentary
edgarallanbro.bsky.social Will Borger @edgarallanbro.bsky.social · 2d
Whenever I say this, people get Really Mad, but it's true. Same of any other art, too. You have to read the book, watch the film, see the painting, listen to the song, whatever.

I'm sorry, but watching a video about it on YouTube is not enough. You have not experience the art.

"you have not played the game unless you've played the game" is one of my more annoying but unshakable opinions

So, I found the fabled "1993 west coast game store tour" that WotC staff went on to demo and promote Magic, shortly before GenCon launch.

Mildly confident this $300 shirt (listed on Ebay) is the only publicly recorded log of this trip

Bought a couch for our home and boy it was tempting to get this as well for the guestroom.

Not looking forward to Coval saying it was a misplay

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

We should be showing Berkey’s art more often locally here in the twin cities as his studio is here

An utter shame we aren’t exhibiting it more

Art by John Berkey for Star Science Fiction Stories No. 4 (1972). It was also amongst a number of artworks purchased by George Lucas to use as the visual background to try to get movie studios interested in funding Star Wars.

They’re still a very active train that runs through the city I work at where the museum is, and seeing the street art is always so sick you guys.

A digital illustration featuring two fairy characters standing together as a flock of pale teal moths swirl around them. One character has with pale blue-green skin, dark eye makeup and long orange-red hair, in blood-red and black helm and armor resembling the carapace of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. They hold the second character, who has pale pink skin, soft features, and fluffy short pink hair, in a pink and green outfit reminiscent of a pink rose. A digital illustration of a pale-skinned, horned masculine character with flowing wavy back hair, wearing black blouse and pants. He is standing against a blue background, surrounded by swirling wind and leaves, gesturing as though he is commanding them. Two character illustrations on a flat black background. Right: the character is an early-twenties, masculine human. He has warm pale skin, light brown short hair and green eyes. He wears a deep olive green and gold blouse, brown cropped pants, and brown lace up boots. He carries a brown leather messenger bag, and a barn owl is landing on his shoulder. Left: a satyr character on a flat black background. They have light tan skin, pale ash blonde hair and fur, digitigrade furry legs and split hooves, curled horns, deer ears, and a long tufted tail. they are androgynous, wearing a cream blouse and green pleated skirt; and carrying a red hardcover book. The full-wrap book cover illustration for the novel VESSEL OF WOVEN NIGHT by Kellen Graves.
