I used to work in a place where one of the middle managers would comment that the younger folks ate like gannets. I heard her benign but strange words as I was painting this little gannet, experimenting with high flow acrylics

Don’t support big company. Big company don’t like you. Support small artist. Or just save your money.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

Really doesn't seem like the time to start using AI to replace having to use critical thought

I will never get over how a handful of tech bros set billions of dollars on fire to build a plagiarism machine that doesn't work and will destroy human society when they could have used a fraction of that money to fund a new golden age of creativity and knowledge.

Physics World Quantum Briefing as seen at the very spot in Helgoland where Werner Heisenberg had his pioneering insights into quantum mechanics 100 years ago in June 1925. Check the issue out here.

Drawing with code and machines. Each piece begins in #TouchDesigner, translated through a #penplotter. These are fragments from that process. Lessons in mark-making and letting go of precision. Now working from a studio share with @felicityinkpen.bsky.social

Just wanted to share some good news that because a good friend of mine and fellow artist spoke up, a local arts guild and their annual market event has put into their bylaws that AI is not allowed. Just one person made a difference by educating the Board on how harmful it is to the arts community.
