Generative AI strips people from their ability to make and the experience of having made. The greatest thing about making something, is the process of getting there and reflecting on all the decisions you made to get to that result, and then thinking, what can I do different next time?

But the bigger reason that you should write and make art, is that your work is someone else's respite.
You don't know who they are. They may be someone in the future. But if you have escaped into a book, or a painting, or a TV show... Someone created that.
You can do that for someone else.

The Ravenous Gindark is one of Strangehollow's many predators, specific to the swamps. It stands 2m tall and looks like a flightless bird, yet it is not a bird. It can be heard making deep booming calls using the airsack under its chin. If you are smaller than it, you are lunch! #artbook 1/2

Loving the process is more important than loving the result! If you can enjoy the act of creating, your art will improve on its own.

If outdoor conditions allow, I may follow the tradition of burning my calligraphy in two weeks time. If the winds lift the burning ashes it is said to be a sign that my skills will improve. I hope such an act will help me as I progress through the year!

Happy New Year! β¨οΈ
Writing a personal calligraphy for the New Year (Kakizome) is a popular custom in Japan, and I thought it would be a great way to start 2026. I chose two characters to calligraph: Sen (ζ΄)Β meaning purify, and shin (εΏ) meaning heart, or soul.

I hope everyone can remember your art is more than the numbers it gets. The internet is not as kind to art as it was a decade ago. I hope everyone can keep creating even if it's just for themselves.
