One value of art is it's ability to critique power. Now, more than ever, we see how art is treated as a threat unless the regime controls it. Don't stop making your art, but be mindful of who wields your hand.

Working on a gorgon, so drew some snake ideas. I'll probably ink them up for fun.

For a while I’ve been thinking GenAi will drive many artists to rethink their work & style.
The more realistic machine repro becomes the more expressionistic & distorted my art. Doing things badly* becomes part of the concept because it’s antithetical to what LLMs produce.

Making bad art is an art.
While these are test prints, they're also an intentional homage to an 80s fanzine is was/am stupid for.
If they'd turned out perfect, I'd have been disappointed.

side note: that tool exists, and it's called "spite"
"by the way, hypothetically, imagine a tool for people who've been told by gatekeepers that they are too stupid to be creative. a tool that actually helps them be creative. that would be one of the best things ever invented. i will die on that hill."

Doing some, quick, mock-ups and just nerd-proud of myself for remembering how to do displacement masks.

Going through a rough patch, mentally.
Still sketching and doing pay work, but struggling to complete anything even remotely personal.
I want to do some more screen printing, I enjoyed my 1st round. Even there I feel compelled to do less of what I’d like & more towards something that can sell.

Wednesd4y’s Party flyer
Original had the centered header at top but I realized the dimensions were wrong. The easiest fix was changing the logo.
