I need to make weirder art. Where my muses at?

Christine Griffin @creepypretty.bsky.social · 17d

Y’all really do love this guy, even though he copies AI or just flat-out posts the digital generations. Featuring him twice in as many days? Kinda breaks my heart.

Christine Griffin @creepypretty.bsky.social · 19d

I looove these and I'm sad that I haven't been doing a lot of dark art lately. MUST GET ON THAT. (But these are gorgeous and keep up the dark work!)

This just breaks my heart.

Christine Griffin @creepypretty.bsky.social · 19d

Yeah, I mostly agree, but there's a certain, hmmm, spirit? Zeal? Dedication to the philosophy that brought you to a craft? And this is what makes pioneering companies...then the almighty dollar and the pursuit of moremoremore corrupts the system. Kills ingenuity.

Whenever someone questions market impacts of GenAi, show them this article.

Make them read each heart breaking story.

People’s livelihoods are being negatively impacted, by a tech that relied on the work of those same people to function at capacity.

The whole thing makes me sick.

Artists are losing work, wages, and hope as bosses and clients embrace AI

Visual artists, illustrators and graphic designers share their stories about how AI is being used to lower wages, degrade work and even replace it altogether, in this installment of AI Killed My Job.

Remember the days when we all thought it would be so cool to be an Imagineer? Work for Disney, or the movies, doing fx or storyboards or concepting? What's the point anymore, when it seems like they're all such greedy, soulless cowards?

Gawd, I'm so glad I don't work for a big corporate conglomerate that'll can me for expressing an opinion. Especially one that is provable by fact.

Loooove the linework!

The hot mess that is my typical WIP...what's the saying? "A creative mind is seldom tidy?" For @brassworksgallery.bsky.social and their annual postcard show!

A small WIP, showing a spooky young man with eyes like a deer caught in headlights.

Here's another good'un.
(Performed here: youtu.be/MGSdYFR50Y8)

charlesoberonn: The song "Jolene" but the singer never stops describing Jolene, going into more and more details and getting more and more disturbing until you're not sure what Jolene is except that you're afraid her.
prettyokayray: your teeth are sharp / your mouth agape
your claws rend flesh / there's no escape from the judgement of the Eldritch One, Jolene
blad-the-inhaler: He screams about you in his sleep and when he wakes, does naught but weep in terror, of the one they call Jolene
butts-for-days: blackening the summer skies with burning wings and countless eyes we tremble at the sight of you, Jolene
animatedamerican: we cower here beneath your gaze that sets the earth and sky ablaze
have mercy at the end of days, Jolene

It’s so weird hearing right wingers talk endlessly about how the left wants to hurt them. With what? Health care, equal rights and living wages?

Pencil in moleskine sketchbook

Pencil portrait of the character 'Roy Walker' in the film The Fall, played by Lee Pace. A man in a wide brimmed hat and cloak looks into the distance. His eyes are mainly in shadow. The image is monotone, pale background.

Opening tomorrow night, the Ohio Art League's Fall Juried Show...be there or be square! (I shall be both 😌)

"All You Have is Your Fire", graphite and watercolor, modeled by Son #3. He has glorious hair, what can I say.

Flyer for the Ohio Art League's Fall Juried Exhibition, 2025

Drawing of a young person on a stormy red background, their neck encircled by dark smoke, with crossed wooden matches floating before them. Inspired by 'Arsonist's Lullaby', by Hozier.
