The scam website that is trying to steal money from artists is back, new logo and... very hastily made website.
Be wary of them, block and report and warn other artists.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references.
Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Generative AI has become a poison pill for serious discussion about art. It’s increasingly hard to tell where it is, so either you have to seriously research it or wait for someone to let it slip.
For skeptics, we now live in a state of hyper-vigilance and paranoia. It threatens our enjoyment.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

There is not a single thing in my life or career I've integrated the 'AI experience' into willingly, and not a single thing in my life or career that's been improved by having AI unwillingly shoved into it. I don't know why there's a demand for this.

Reagan was an evil sack of shit, and this is why you should never vote for Gavin Newsom for anything
Gavin Newsom will try to evangelize a man who was responsible for the the deaths of a huge proportion of all gay men in America just to try to cater to a few nonexistent “moderate republica”

Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.
