Brandon Sanderson’s thoughts on AI art. He argues that the process of creation makes the artist the art and not the art itself. I agree. Creating changes how you think. If a computer does it for you, does the act of creation change you? Does it help you become better? I would argue NO.

I just started helping coach my son’s basketball team yesterday, and it was a lot of fun. Maybe someday I’ll get to work on a #KidLit book about hoops. 🏀 #kidlitart #sketchbookdrawing #ProcreateArtist

Trying to view #kidlitartpostcard on Instagram is impossible. It mixes results across months and years. Even the AI summation I get at the top says to go to Bluesky or Cara.

This is so awesome. It may be the first Kaiji gaga fanart! Is it fanart if it's commissioned? I don't know. Either way awesome work by @aliavian.bsky.social
Check out my kaijuriffic new icon from one of my favorite cartoonists, @aliavian.bsky.social! I love her style, she's fast, and she's always so pleasant and easy to work with -- next time she opens to commissions, consider hiring her!
